"Precisely." That got a smile. Yaichirou was less enthusiastic than Tachibana, but he had endured plenty of ribbing for his habits too. It was nice to see someone his age who understood. The warm response put him enough at ease that he answered the next question with a derisive huff.

"Do younger brothers count?" He certainly felt like he was taking care of children, and it was no easy task to keep them in line. But his annoyance gave way to sheepishness almost immediately; look at him, taking advantage of a serious interview to make immature complaints. He cleared his throat and straightened himself.

"That is to say no, no children. What do you believe the Drift is like?"

In his haste to move on, he hadn't realized they were already at that question.It was a good thing Tachibana would go first. Yaichirou had spent a long time on this question and try as he might, he couldn't find an answer that really satisfied him. He'd scripted a few, of course-- one must be prepared-- but they were always wrong. Too clinical, or too vague, or too cheesy. His previous interview partners were just as awful.

He sat back and studied Tachibana, intensely curious. The boy had proven himself intelligent thus far. Time to see what he could do.
