[So Riddle's known his share of despicable people as well, hmm? Shu can only hope, for his sake, that none of them were as loathsome as Tenshouin. He'd say something to that effect, except he's a little distracted by the fact that Riddle's butterknife just sliced right through that teacup like... well... a warm knife through butter.

He picks up his own knife, tapping it gently on the side of his own cup. Nope. Nothing.]

You really ought to consider becoming a mosaicist. Or a sculptor—that would suit your abilities just as well.

[Still looking a tad flummoxed, Shu shakes his head to himself before he answers Riddle's original question.]

To begin with, one of them likes to submerge himself in bodies of water, such as public fountains. He'll soak for a long period of time and then emerge dripping water everywhere. A nuisance, to say the least. But there's no use talking to him about this; he doesn't listen.

Next is the man known as Hibiki Wataru. I call him a man, but his behavior is akin to that of a clown or court jester's. Everywhere he goes, he makes a spectacle of himself: gesturing flamboyantly, speaking obnoxiously, flying around by blimp, and unleashing flights of doves. He has also shown me some magic tricks, but not real magic like yours. One of them was upsetting; I didn't like it at all.

There's one more "main character" I haven't discussed: Sakuma Rei. He speaks as though he's old man; I'm not sure why he does that. His sleeping arrangements are also peculiar.

Finally, there's the youngest one. His manner of speaking is also odd. He can be overly cheeky as well. But perhaps it's to be expected, given his age. Since he's cute, his disagreeable qualities can be easily overlooked.

[Never mind that Natsume is a whopping one year younger than Shu, making him roughly the same age as Riddle. He's still the baby of the group.]
