Bokuden
D-rank
Just moments after Misoka’s father ran out of the house to embrace her, Bokuden would find himself being forcibly pulled into the house by a small, older woman. Although he could not quite place a name to a face, there was no doubt in Bokuden’s mind that he had seen this woman somewhere before, made even more evident by the fact that she seemed to recognize him. After a moment of contemplation he was able to identify just where he had seen this woman before, his eyes widening as images of the night of the festival he had attended with Misoka five years prior flashed in his mind. He was truly surprised she remembered him at all, having only met him so briefly, so long ago. She was surprisingly strong, almost to the point of it being unnatural. While he could have probably resisted the older woman’s abduction of him, he felt it perhaps best that he simply awkwardly laugh and allow himself to be manhandled this strange woman.
The situation would only become more chaotic and far more awkward for Bokuden as upon entry into the home he was thrown into a seat and immediately bombarded with offerings of food. Before he could even get a word in edge wise, cookies and tea had been thrust unto his hands and a slightly more interesting conversation had arisen between Misoka and her father. He wasn’t even sure how he was to respond in a situation like this. He threw nervous glances Misoka’s way as both her father and this Nami woman as they both begun to bombard Bokuden with questions, her father seemingly seeking support in his opposition of his daughter’s words and Nami simply trying to make him feel comfortable. The more attention she paid to him however, the more uncomfortable he felt.
What was he supposed to say? Sure he disagreed with Misoka’s decision, but that wouldn’t stop him from helping her as long as she agreed to listen to him. He didn’t want to turn his back on Misoka now, but he wasn’t thrilled about the idea of infuriating her father during their first meeting. Is this what that awkward meeting the parents situation felt like for young couples? They weren’t even that yet, but he was supposed to sit here like a teenager awkwardly meeting his girlfriend’s father for the first time?
“Thank you Miss Nami, it’s delicious,” Bokuden replied politely and with a smile to his host, “I’m impressed that you even remember me. We only met so briefly and I feared I failed to leave a lasting impression. I’m glad I was wrong” His smile would lessen to more of a slight smirk before addressing Misoka and her father, “Sir, while I agree with and understand your concern over what Misoka said, I don’t think it is something that should be ridiculed. She made promises and has convictions that she feels needs to stand by, and I believe that is something that should be respected. She is brave and unwavering even in the face of danger or opposition and strong in every sense of the word. You raised an amazing young woman and you should be proud, but you don’t need some stranger telling you what you already know. Misoka, you are lucky to have a father who cares so much about you. And I think we’re all lucky to have Miss Nami here, offering her hospitality.” He added the last part in hopes of diffusing any tension that might have remained and allowing them to move past the arguing points, at least for now. He really didn’t know what to say in this situation, so he felt maybe trying to calm things down would be the best route.
