Ittosai smiled at Mari as she spoke some. He knew what it felt like to want company at times, but also what it felt like to want to be alone. Completely alone. He nodded a little as he listened; thinking a little about if he knew anything about the girl. She lived with her grandmother, so that meant her parents were either dead or just gone. As she mentioned his free time, Ittosai pulled himself from his thoughts in order to speak.

"I-I do just about anything a n-normal nerd does I suppose..." He spoke the words in a thoughtful voice, "I-I prefer to spend my time at home alone in my room, where none of the annoying s-servants can come talk t-t-to me." The words slipped, as he had already broken his hosting personality. "No offense to th-the servants, I just find their mindless babble child's talk. All they ever say is 'How are you?' and 'Have you eaten today?' Wh-when they know the answers all t-to well." He grumbled the words a little darkly. He adjusted his glasses and put one hand in his pocket. He certainly meant it to offend the servants, they annoyed him to no end. But telling Mari that would make him sound cruel, which was something he didn't want to make apparent at the time. When she suddenly stopped, he turned to her just a little. She apologized and he waved his free hand a little.

"You d-didn't do anything, Mari-chan." He spoke kindly again. "Don't apologize. And if you like, you can s-stop calling me 'Itto-kun'. You can just call me 'Itto' or 'Ittosai' or anything else you like."
