{Aha,very surprised and happy!}

"To go figure somethings out."He answered,watching a few people walk by.Hiruko raised an eyebrow at Yoshi,"Hungry,our we?"He asked Yoshi,looking up at him.The dream eater than looked away again,where would he even start?He sighed,all of this was a mess,but at least Yoshi helped him out a lot more than he had realized.

(Ok, well i should be able to pick up the pace, but right now my posting is squishy cuz im busy and idk what times i have to work next week. you know how it is sorry DX)

Yoshi's hunger fed his feelings of agitation. He was starting to grow bored of how dodgy Hiruko was. "Figure something out?" he said brawling against his urge to simply read Hiruko's mind. One would assume that with the ability to get any information one wanted at ones disposal, that one would almost stretch out said ability to exhaustion. Yoshi, however, tries his hardest to not invade the minds of others without permission without reason. Yoshi wouldn't be completely for someone shifting through the personal diary he called his mind, so why would others? Yoshi held one hand over his stomach, "Perhaps a bit. I'm afraid I haven't had but a cup of tea today." he said, his British accent growing thicker the closer he ventured to the end of his sentence.

"..people say I've killed someone,what else would I be figuring out?"Hiruko pointed out,to him it seemed like a pretty clear answer,wouldn't anyone want to find out what was really going on?Or,why Yoshi was so ready to help him?With a shake of his head he disregarded that thought,this man seemed nice enough to trust,but there was a nagging question at the back of his head.If he could make someone invisible,just what else could he do that he wasn't saying,Hiruko faced Yoshi,tiling his head a bit,"Tell me,any other abilities I should know about?"Hiruko asked him.

Yoshi wore a disturbed look on his face, quickly wiping it off with a handful of blinks. "Well, everyone has their daily troubles. A dead cell phone moving furniture, being accused of murder, or even washing the dishes. You know, normal things." Said Yoshi in a comical tone as he took short pauses to look at if he were actually pondering such things. Yoshi brushed some hair behind his ear with his fingers before he "answered" Hiruko's question, "Well, I suppose I should ask the same thing. Should I not? Seeing as how you're supposed to be the feared 'killer'?"

Murder did not sound like an ever day problem to Hiruko,well maybe if the person was a criminal yes,but that was something Hiruko was not.He was a dream eater, a rare being that could enter other peoples dream or nightmares,which..last time he checked he had never had anyone die in dreams nor nightmares.Even taking all this into consideration he did realize that Yoshi was,in a way,joking around with the matter at hand.This was enough to make the dream eater smile a bit,until Yoshi 'answered' his question from earlier.For some reason Hiruko found his questions a bit annoying,hence the scowl.

"One,I am no killer,murder is not something that I would ever consider, and two why should I say what I can do when you haven't?"Hiruko asked Yoshi,sounding a lot more irritated then he actual felt.

With a shake of his head,he realized he was acting bit like a child.Hiruko sighed,and leaned against his cane and began to explain a few things.

"A dream eater has the ability to put people to sleep,and with a few choice words to enter the persons mind in a dream-state to deal with any unwanted dreams or nightmares.They also learn varies spells,but I only know so few since I haven't started studying magic until recently.The spells I know can't kill another being. "He told Yoshi, and then waited for Yoshi to answer his own question.

"You do realize that you are the one asked me about my abilities, don't you?" Yoshi's voice started to sound somewhat serious, as if disciplining a child that wasn't his. "And seeing as such, you should be able to answer such a question for yourself." Yoshi slightlu shook his head to "get rid of" the rudeness in his tone.

Yoshi listened intently to Hiruko's tale, nodding gingerly between sentences. "My turn" he thought before he spoke, "Well, to put it short; I'm a psychic. I deal with abilities of the mind and brain." Yoshi looked around before he walked towards one of the alley walls. "Reading the minds of others, moving objects with my mind, astral projection, creating illusions, etc. etc." Yoshi filled his mouth with air as if he were to blow up a balloon while he put both his hands on his hips. He exhaled at a low volume as if he were seriously pondering something. He freed one hand from his hip and rested it on the wall, still facing Hiruko.

"However, with the correct thought process, I've been able to further advance my powers, being able performing a feat impossible for most others," said Yoshi with a grin. With that, he started leaning further and further onto the wall, due to his arm sinking through the wall. After that, he tugged on his arm, being awarded with his appendage from the wall.

Yoshi then wore an expression that appeared to be a mixture of guilt and forgetfulness. "Well, that is accounting for my psychic side. Though it appears I've neglected to mention my powers over emotion. Seeing as I'm an Empath, I have domain over that too."

Hiruko didn't to take so kindly to Yoshi's tone,slowly the dream eaters eyes began to narrow.He was no child,yes he did look like a child but he was much older than people thought.In fact, to scold him was like a way to insult him and annoy him,even so he choose to take a deep breathe.Hiruko saw no point in acting like a child that people saw,so instead he took a step back,and leaned against the wall,propping a foot against the wall and held his cane in his hands.

The dream eaters eyes were mixed with many things,curiosity,interest,a clear understanding now and a slight hint of uncertainty.Going through things,moveing things with his mind, astral projection and creating illusions was fine..it was the fact that he failed to say he could read minds earlier.Hiruko really did doubt that Yoshi would even try to read his mind,but at the same time this made him uncomfortable.Hiruko looked at the ground thoughtfully,as if going through everything he had said before looking up at Yoshi,"I see,that is certainly interesting."He commented.

That expression on Yoshi's face made Hiruko frown,why would he have such an expression.It almost seemed like he was a young child being caught not doing what his parents told him to do."Empathy."Hiruko echoed,'Oh..well at least he just forgot to mention something.'Hiruko thought with a relived sigh."Very interesting.."

Yoshi examined the surroundings. The street was abandoned, for the time. Cars were held at bay by red lights, and all pedestrians were missing. "Now seems like a good time to reveal ourselves, if you cant think of a time better." Yoshi said with a fading grin. He raised his finger tips to his temples, as he did before, closing his eyes in the same manner as well. He released a small sigh as he lowered his hands and opened his eyes. "Now don't go making fun of people to their faces. Because they can here and see us," he whispered with a smile. "So, wheres a place to eat around here? I haven't had anything in hours." Yoshi traveled often. He was only staying there for a short period.

Hiruko raised an eyebrow,he wasn't the type to openly mock anyone.Insult them,yes, but mockery was not his way to play,that seemed far to childish.Hiruko looked at Yoshi at the mention of food,oh he would have to go another town if he ever wanted to eat again.Unless there was still people that actual trusted him,that would help him a lot."Uhh,your defiantly asking the wrong person."Hiruko told Yoshi.He wouldn't know what place would be good to it,if he eat any human food he would end up coughing up blood,that was always painful and bland.

"Ok, then care to find somewhere to explain yourself?" Said Yoshi in a monotone voice. His voice made it appear as if he didn't care anymore. "If I'm supposed to help clear your name, I'll need to know the story." he said while he forced a smile.

There was a moment of silence,explain himself for something he didn't do?!Okay,yeah that seemed reasonable..maybe.Hiruko thought for a moment,he may not be able to eat human food but he had heard about a cafe that many people seemed to love."Hmm,you say your hungry..there is a cafe someways back.."He said thoughtfully,choosing to ignore his tone.The dream eater stepped away from the wall,and then looked at Yoshi,"Y'know,it's very easy to tell when someone is forcing a smile."Hiruko told Yoshi,and then stepped out of the alleyway,looking around.

Yoshi didn't seem phased by Hiruko's comment. Wit was something he wasn't in short supply of. He was often in short back-and-forths with people in his schools, often upset at him for having multiple degrees at a much younger age. "I suppose so," he said as he looked the other way. "It's also fairly easy to not help someone either." Yoshi said with a blank face. He looked in the direction of the cafe. "So how far is it? What kinda time do we need to get there? Walking? Car? Flight? Teleportation?"

Hiruko didn't look back at him,he say no reason to look back at this Doctor."..Ten minutes away."He told Yoshi.Did it bother Hiruko that Yoshi had said that,maybe a little bit,but in the end wouldn't Yoshi have to deal with it?No..he suddenly realized something,dream eaters were a being that people hunted,Hiruko needed help,he needed to clear his name..or he would pay the ultimate price for a crime he didn't do.

Yoshi exhaled. "Alrighty then, lead the way kind sir." Yoshi said as he waited for the dream eater to go on, before he could follow behind.

"Okay."Hiruko said,he glanced back at Yoshi and then started walking forward.He still didn't know what to think of any of this,of Yoshi,of what people thought of him or what could happen.And dare he admit,for once in a long time he could feel fear creeping into his mind and settling down for a while to come.

Yoshi's empathic abilities triggered at Hiruko's mood change. Yoshi's abilities naturally activated against his will, something he had to turn off himself. He pondered whether or not to say something, as Yoshi wasn't sure how Hiruko would take nobody being able to fake how they feel around Yoshi. "Are you alright, Hiruko?" Yoshi had just realized that it was the first time he had called Hiruko by name.

"..to be honest,no..I'm not."Hiruko answered truthfully knowing that trying to avoid answering this question would be pointless.He guessed ti was only a matter of time before Yoshi noticed Hiruko's change in emotion..but he couldn't help it.All of this was so much to take in at once.

Yoshi continued to look forward as the got closer to their destination. His steps seemed calm, as if he weren't walking with a public enemy. "Care to talk about it? Empaths make fantastic shrinks. In fact one of my doctorates is in psychology."

Hiruko stopped for a moment,his blue eyes clouded with trouble."..I.."He trailed off,clearly unsure about telling Yoshi anything.The dream eater crossed his arms,"..This person that's framed me for murder must want me dead..What I am is hunted by certain human beings..I fear that they would do anything to harm me,and if they know your helping me,you too."Hiruko said with a sigh.

Yoshi paused for a moment while his eyes widened slightly, obvious surprised. Hiruko started to sound like a child lost in the supermarket, looking for his parents. "Well, let's start with the five W's, shall we?" Yoshi said as he turned his head to face is "client."
