@SmartLilTomago The loud 'thud' is what reels in his attention, flinching a little at the sight of the girl slamming her head against the—

@SmartLilTomago —wood of her desk. A sight that strikes him a bit as familiar, eliciting a smile on his face. "Are you alright there?" —

@SmartLilTomago —He approaches the girl tentatively, unaware at the moment that she's related to a certain friend of his.

@SmartLilTomago "It can be hard at first, don't try to force it." He takes the introduction as his invitation to move closer, taking—

@SmartLilTomago —her hand in his with a smile. "Tadashi. Tadashi Hamada. Nice to meet you Kazumi.--" —

@SmartLilTomago —His smile slowly falters, darkened brows furrowing a little. "Sorry but, what did you say your last name was again?"

@SmartLilTomago Her confirmation prompts a half nod, giving her a quick scan over. "That's funny, you don't hear that last name too often.."

@SmartLilTomago His hand departing from her own, he hesitates before asking the impending question.—

@SmartLilTomago — "You're not..related to Gogo--I mean, Leiko, are you?"

@SmartLilTomago He doesn't get to finish nodding as her answer sinks in, surprise evident over his expression. "I'm sorry, what? Adopted?"

@zowiestein Tadashi ruffles the younger's hair, beaming a genuine smile. "Happy Birthday, Knucklehead. You're cared about. Don't forget it."

@SmartLilTomago "Sorry I just.." He gives a little shake of the head, brows furrowing a bit. "Leiko never mentioned you before.."

@SmartLilTomago The taller offers an apologetic smile. "Gogo can be..hard to get to come around. But I'm sure she will."

@SmartLilTomago With one last empathic smile he offers to change the subject for her sake, "So, what are you working on?"

@SmartLilTomago His smile widens upon coming face to face with the drawing. "A robot that can teach art.. Where'd you get the idea?"

@TadashiWasHere || I was caught sick and then had finals sorry! But I'd love to <3

@SmartLilTomago That genuine smile stays in place as he looks it over. "It's amazing. I was never exactly good at art myself, really."

@TadashiWasHere || HEY THERE I'm glad someone's alive it looks dead around here geez

@SmartLilTomago "Now /that/ would be amazing." Genuinely taking the idea for a spin his eyes focus back on the drawing. —

@SmartLilTomago —"Have you got any prototypes made yet? Do you think you would use a lithium iron battery?" Interest dances on every word.
