Family From Beyond the Grave [Tekuma('s parents)?]

"TEEEEEEEEEEEKUUU-"

You know of our daughter?

Attempting to turn on a dime and face the couple that had just approached and called to him, though not quite as graceful due to barely being used to his floating tail, Tomoyo ended up slipping foreward before falling as his face smacked into the ground quite hard. "OUCH!" The child squealed in pain as his nose was squished very painfully. Spinning over so that he faced the sky and the faces of the couple while floating on his back, the hybrid's spirit proceeded to fail horribly at trying to get back up while answering them.

"Daughter? Um... I'm looking for my big sister. She's *smack* she's tall and has spiky red hair and white horns and is part robo-*slip* GAH!" Stumbling over his words while whipping his tail end erratically, Tomoyo was nearly at the point in crying in frustration as he tried maneuvering himself back onto the tip of his tail without falling over. To put into relatable words from the point of view of someone who didn't know how to fly, let alone float by a ghost tail, it was like trying make yourself tread upward in water when you didn't know how to swim but didn't have the threat of drowning.

Face planting once more into the ground, Tomoyo spun onto his back once more before whimpering to the young looking red heads. "Um... help please~"

Normally Tomoyo didn't really care about avoiding strangers. His parents had somehow left out the whole shtick they should have told the kid about not talking to strangers, feeling it didn't really matter in a world where their son easily outstripped the average human adult in terms of power. Tomoyo hasn't even been on to previously shy away from meeting a new friend, so he was always open to interacting with new people! After all, a stranger was just a person you haven't befriended or accepted candy from yet, right?

...this interaction was starting to change that view ever so slightly.

At first the fallen hybrid had been glad for the demon man to help him up, quite thankful in fact. But just as he was about to voice that thanks the child needed to fall silent when listening to the couple's almost simultaneous inquiry on where he had last seen Tekuma. "Um... Where I saw her... um... there was a lot of snow everywhere and it was somewhere up north. She disappeared though after my friend... um... got angry at her I guess." The way the man especially was fiercely gazing at the child started making Tomoyo feel uncomfortable. Combining that with the confusion and awkwardness involved in recounting the circumstances of his death and the half Human was trying to slowly float backwards away from Caraway.

Eyebrows furrowing in intimidated fright, Tomoyo motioned his hands in a wave before attempting to float away from the man that was scaring him. "Um... I'm gonna go home now... bye~" Tensing up in apprehension that the two weird people might try chasing him, the child was once more frozen to a halt as he heard the woman say something else when being questioned by who Tomo could only assume to be her husband.

N..No Caraway. Tekuma must have adopted him or something.

Pausing mid-float, Tomo turned around on a dime, nearly resulting in himself tipping over into a fall once more before he just barely caught himself. "Wait, you know Teku? ...then... Are you... Teku's mom and dad?" Now that he really took a look at them, it was almost like looking at half and half of his elder sister. The man resembled Tekuma's facial features slightly as well as possessing the same hue of vibrant red hair and horns, while the woman looked to be almost a more human Tekuma without any of the robot parts or animal stuff. So that Charlene girl WAS telling the truth! Tekuma's parents really were dead!

The thought that Tekuma was more trusting of this other sibling that he had had never known of than with him did hurt the child a little, though he couldn't really comprehend why to such an extent. It wasn't like Tekuma had completely abandoned him right? ...that can't be true, she hugged him and said she loved him! "Teku didn't lie... she doesn't not wanna see me again, does she?" Fearing the thought, Tomo hastily looked back up at the couple as if they were breathing evidence of his older sister's secrets and disdain for him. He just couldn't let himself believe that Tekuma would do that to him!

"Y-Your lying! Teku doesn't hate me!" Tomo yelled in response at the two adults, unaware that outside of the contexts of his inner thoughts the two statements didn't alone make much sense or even seem relevant to each other. Turning back around away from the hybrid couple, the half Human tried his best to float away from the cause of his strife.

That was when Tomoyo found out when he finally wanted to start moving fast that he didn't quite have the hang of even moving at speeds he desired. His floating at the moment seemingly had a capped speed of DEAD SLOW!

Tekuma Mayakon 519 WC & 561 Shoki & 281 PL!

633 + 561 = 1,194

59,571 + 281 = 59,852
