"Did you inherit all of your abilities from your father or did he have different ones?" Hana asked, head tilting to the side. "Not to pry, of course. I just find it fascinating to hear about how different demons come into their powers and if theirs are inherited or not."

"I was born with some of my own abilities but everything that I learned to do throughout the training of my youth was amplified at least a hundred fold when I inherited my father's abilities. It's kind of a family tradition that the powers get handed down from generation to generation. Makes every generation stronger than the previous to ensure the longevity of the bloodline."
He couldn't explain it any more vague without making it apparent that he was hiding something. He didn't want people to know that he was royalty in Demon World and as such a genuine threat to existence in the mortal plane. Tomo and Masashi already knew so he looked between the two of them to ensure that they wouldn't add any damning details to his explanation.
"I thank you again for the meal and the room Hana. If you do not mind I would love to find some water to clean myself before I retire for the evening."

"That's really interesting... each generation basically gets an upgrade!" Hana laughed, finding this a little more amusing than she probably should. Much to the relief of the men in the room, of course, given that she didn't ask more questions.
"Of course. I need to show you how to work the shower." She motioned for him to follow her to the bathroom. She showed him how to twists the knobs to "summon" the water as she (in her own mind, at least) cleverly put it as well as adjust the temperature. "That's really all there is to it. You've got soap here and shampoo for your hair right there on the little shelf. And here's the towels." She set two on the sink as well as a rag.

"Thank you again," he stated when she finished explaining everything.
He watched her walk out of the bathroom and as soon as she did he closed the door and disrobed himself before stepping into the tub and turning on the water as she had shown him. In all honesty he was used to just rinsing in cold streams when he was out and about. It was rare he stayed at his home long enough to want to run a bath and soak for a bit and even then it was usually because he was sore all over and/or nursing injuries from defending his territory.
After approximately 12 to 15 minutes he shut the water off and stepped out utilizing the towels she had left for him. He wrapped one tightly around his waste and used the other to dry his hair and upper body. He gathered the clothes he had just acquired today and neatly folded them before walking out of the bathroom to see all three of them still hanging around. When he noticed the expressions on their face he stopped drying himself.
"Is something wrong? You're all staring at me in disbelief like you can't believe I'm standing here."
His body was lean muscle and despite how powerful he was now, his body displayed scars from all the years of training he had taken to get to where he was now.

After Hana comes back from escorting Raizen to the shower, Tomo hands over a sack of clothing he managed to get together for the man. "Set these in his room so he has some different things to change into. I'm getting all the paperwork together to get him enrolled, so I should have it finished by tomorrow morning..." He explained to her, nudging Masashi away when the guy came over to lean against him playfully.
"Hey, don't be mean," Masashi laughed a little, leaning on Tomo again without being pushed away this time. Tomo just rolled his eyes at the casual way the man was to his elders, but chose to ignore it in favor of talking with Hana about some of the things he'd been working on.
When Raizen exited the bathroom, all eyes stared before Tomo broke the sudden halt in conversation. "It is because of your scars..." He said slowly before accepting the sack from Hana and presenting it to Raizen. "I have more clothes for you and things are getting put into order for you to be enrolled with Hana..." He smiled a little. "Hana and Masashi aren't used to seeing such scars, that is all - honest."
"Yeah! Tomo is the manly man of us three, so he's seen a lot," Masashi piped up, intending to put everything back into casual mode with his jokes. "Anyways - I think I gotta get outta here. Sad thing that I won't be attending school with you two. It was fun hanging out..." He walked to the long curtains hanging in front of the windows. "We'll hang out sometime soon..." He gave a final grin to the other three before stepping into the shadows behind the curtains and disappearing.

Raizen accepted the bag from Tomo with a smile on his face.
"These scars are nothing. Just souvenirs from growing up. Thank you again for all you have done Tomo," Raizen stated before turning to head back to the bathroom so that he could see what he would want to wear for the night.
When Masashi stated that he was about to depart Raizen turned his way.
"Thank you as well for all the help with moving everything today."
When Masashi disappeared Raizen walked into the bathroom and started going through the bag. He found a plain tshirt and some baggier pants and put them on before walking out again.

"You don't have to thank me, Raizen, really. I'm glad to be of service to a fellow demon - it's why I do what I do..." He let the man go to change but as soon as he came out he present him with another object - a simple wallet.
When he only got a curious stare, Tomo elaborated on what it was and the significance of it. "It will hold your ID, student ID, money, cards, and small important papers. I took the liberty of getting a preloaded card. It has money already on it and Hana can teach you to use it to buy some essentials you'd like to have on hand. It's enough money to get you started here until you have a job of your own..."
Before Raizen could ask where the money came from, Tomo explained that as well. "We Settlers often get good jobs and once we're on the right track, we pool money together to help other demons who need a boost up here in the human realm. It came from there, so you can consider it a gift from us Settlers and there's no need to try paying us back."
"Now... is there anything else you two need?" Tomo asked as he made his way to the door. "Anything at all?"

"Besides, if it bugs you too much about using the money then you can always donate what you used back." Hana offered in order to help placate Raizen in case he felt guilty about the money still. At times the money sat there, unused, so any time it could be given to someone who desperately needed it, it was always a plus.
"Nothing that I can think of at the moment." Hana answered Tomo then, humming thoughtfully for a second or two before shaking her head once again. "Nope, nothing. If I do I'll just give you a call." She looked at Raizen then. "Anything you need?"

"I apologize if I am becoming an annoyance with all of the apologizing. I am simply not used to this kind of treatment. I just wanted to ensure you knew that I am appreciative and not some freeloader who felt entitled to such assistance and care."
He gave her a slight bow at the waist.
"Thank you both again. Good night. I am going to retire for the evening if I can. Many things to think about."

"We are happy to help. Do not worry," Tomo bowed back to Raizen, bidding him a goodnight. He turned his attention to Hana when the demon king retired to bed. "Call me if either of you need anything. I know Masashi will be keeping an ear out as well. I'll check in tomorrow, kiddo," He smirked, reaching out and ruffling her hair.
He took his leave then, deciding to take a small break from getting paperwork together.

"I will. I'll get started on teaching him to use a cellphone tomorrow so if anything should happen that I can't do it, he'll know how." Hana said and promptly made a noise of protest as Tomo messed up her hair. It was half-hearted at best though and she waved goodbye to him before shutting and locking the door behind him. Once that was done, she went about making sure all the lights were turned off and the windows locked up. She checked on Raizen by briefly pausing outside his door and upon hearing nothing except calm breathing, she retired to her own room for the night.

Finally falling asleep Raizen had been wondering about what new discoveries the following day would hold.
The next morning he awoke and looked around at first. It took him a few moments to remember where he was. Once he did however he walked over towards the living room.
"Morning," he mumbled looking around. "Where do we get breakfast?"

Hana, already dressed for the day and sitting at the table with a plate in front of her, pointed over to the counter where a couple of plates with tin foil sat. "I got done making breakfast a few minutes ago. I would've waited to show you how everything works but that's best saved for lunch or dinner time. Help yourself to however much you want." She smiled at him, glancing at her phone briefly before setting it down to resume eating. "How did you sleep last night?"

"Thanks," he replied groggily as he made his way over to the counter and grabbed a plate. "I slept alright."
He took a bit from each of the plates and then joined her at the table after grabbing a fork.
"This looks and smells really good Hana."
He picked up his fork and took a bite of the food.
"It's not good it's delicious."
He speedily ate the meal in front of him.
"Do we have to leave any for Tomo or Masashi?"
