Jouno knows the area well, but there is one building that has always been off limits. It's well-protected by human standards, and though Jouno has been curious, it wasn't on his turf so he'd never fully explored it. It might have continued to remain untouched were it not for the kitsune's boredom setting in. That was the problem with eternal life -- after a while, one ran out of things to do.

Breaking in was easy considering kitsune were masters of illusion. Jouno sneaked in without problem, taking in the clean, anti-septic scent of the place. Various machines beeped and buzzed to life, an uncomfortable cacophony of noises as far as Jouno was concerned. All in all, it seemed pretty standard as far as human science went -- it was a subject that Jouno wasn't particularly versed in.

It's the heart beat, quiet and steady, but alone that truly catches his attention. More so, the fact that it seems to be behind several locked (now very broken) doors. There are metal bars around the person who holds it, cool to the touch of the kitsune's hands. They, too, could be easily broken if he so decides to.

"And who might you be?" Jouno practically purrs, head cocked to the side as he considers the person behind bars. "To be so locked up like this?"

Tetchō isn't used to visitors. The only people who come to see him are the scientists, and visits from them usually mean a bad time. Still, he's given up fighting it, so when another figure appears, he's more or less resigned to it.

Until he realizes... it's not one of the familiar faces. No, he thinks he'd remember someone who looks like this, the cunning curve of his eyes and his mouth. For a moment, Tetchō pulse rises - he can't tell if this is good, or bad.

Well, he's already faced the bad. What could be worse?

"If you don't know who I am, then you aren't allowed to be here." Tetchō doesn't answer, because who he is is no longer important. How did this person get in, if he's asking a question like that?

...Then again, he couldn't care less if this person is or isn't allowed in the highly-secured lab. It means nothing to him, after all.
