If there is anything more awkward than being the only person within close enough earshot to answer the door when you are staying in the home of two (for all intents and purposes) complete strangers, then... it... is probably one of the several other awkward things that had already happened to Bruno today. In any case, it looked like he'd have to be the one to walk up and pull open the door.

So he did.

... It took a certain effort of will to keep his face detachedly neutral and free of recognition and his posture normal when he saw who it was. It was the kind of nigh-instantaneous shift of gears that Cassandra for one certainly would have noticed, but not anybody with an untrained eye. Hopefully.

And so now Kiryu had a man with a bandage around his head and a largely unreadable expression staring him down from the other side of the door jam.

"Yes?"
