 Kiyoshi was totalling in love with how Haji could keep himself so in control! Kiyoshi had exactly been amazed by Haji ever since they'd met, and even Kiyo had to admit that he spent to much time with his adopted father. He really couldn't help himself, everyone needed a role model in their life! And considering he had no idea what had happened to his real parents, Kiyo just had to look up to Haji!
Besides, what was there not to look up to? He was always so surreal and calm, but kind and outgoing at the same time! He was that boring type of calm, where they always said everything in riddles that you had to figure out! He was straight forward and totally anyone's best friend!
Kiyoshi wanted to be just like him! Well, not in that stalker kind of way. More as a Son kinda way. Haji was the father anyone would ever want, and when Kiyoshi someday had kids of his own, he wanted to be looked up to as well! Just like he looked up to his Hero, Haji.
"Haji! Can you teach me to be just like you? I mean...a Gentleman? I want to be someone everyone can look up to! I want people to be proud to know me, and have me as a friend! Please...!" Kiyoshi begged lightly, and looked up at Haji with his bright blue eyes.

 Haji gazed down at Kiyoshi and chuckled lightly, a soft sound that barely ever escaped his mouth. Ever since the first moment he had discovered the little tokoro, almost a spitting image of himself, and quite lonely, he had felt a special bond grow between them. In his time before he had created the small troupe with Candra, a gleeful little tokoro like Kiyoshi would have only been an annoyance to him, reminding him of what it was like to have happiness in every living second. But now he could not bear to be far from his charming adoptive son. Though Kiyoshi was the one wanting a lesson, Haji was sure that the kit had taught him a few lessons of his own.
Therefore, he could not resist the smile that came to his features. He sat down on a wide, mossy branch, motioning for Kiyoshi to sit beside him. "Haha, take it easy, young one. I'm surprised that you think of me that way!" he chuckled, nuzzling Kiyoshi on the top of his head. "A gentleman... don't tell me that my little Kiyoshi is already growing up?" He couldn't help but have a sense of pride within his heart for the little male.
"But as for lessons, I suppose there are a few things that I could teach you. Of course, being adored by others is not a thing that can be taught. It must be aquired over time." He grinned brightly and gently ruffled Kiyoshi's fur. "But I'm sure that you can accomplish that."

Kiyoshi smiled, and laughed lightly as Haji accused him of growing up. He couldn't help but act older then his age, when all his family was older them him! He didn't want to act like a spoiled little brat around them, so he picked up on their habits and tried to act as mature as they all did. "Thanks Haji! I totally don't want to be the average kit!" A bright smile lit up his face while he continued to listen to the lder male, who he considered to be his father.
Both of them could probably pass as father and son anyway. They looked enough alike, and Kiyoshi loved him like any son should love his father!
"I'm patient enough! I'm sure I can wait! After all! You can't be as perfect as you in little over a day!" Kiyoshi was always full of compliments. His stubby tail wagged behind him as he waited for Haji to reply and start the lessons!

Haji smiled affectionately at Kiyoshi's compliment, happiness swelling in his heart. How did he survive when he had been alone? How could he had missed all there was to love about other tokoro? If he had never saved Candra... then he would have never saved Kiyoshi either. Perhaps the presence of his adoptive family was a blessing from some higher power.
"Alright, Kiyoshi. Gentleman one-o-one: first lesson." He leapt over to a nearby branch with a cluster of bushy leaves at it's end, barely as big as another adult tokoro. He turned to Kiyoshi and gave the kit a playful wink, then bowed his head to the formation of leaves as if in greeting. His deep, calming voice turned suddenly husky, and his eyelids drooped ever the slightest as he said, "Why, Candra... you look lovely tonight. Your fur seems to catch the moonlight itself."
Then he turned again to Kiyoshi, his voice normal. "You must give your friends and fellows compliments. This will hint at your kind and caring attitude, as well as show that you are smart and observative." He grinned widely.

Kiyoshi bounced a little in the air to contain his overwhelming excitement! Getting lessons from Haji was like a dream come true! He watched him closely, a little confused at first when hopped onto a branch above him. He tilted his head up to watch him. Though, when he started to speak he got the hint. Examples! Just like any other class, learning by example is the best way to learn!
He smiled and hopped onto a branch on the same level as Haji so he could be a little closer. "My turn?" He asked, bowing his head like Haji had. However, he couldn't quite get the voice right, it seemed to sound to grown for a little kit, though it'd get better when he grew older. It just didn't quite match his appearance.
"Why Haji! I have to say you're one spectacular teacher in it's my honor to learn under you!" He couldn't help but smirk lightly at his comment. This was tons of fun! "Do I sounds smart?" He asked, laughing lightly to himself.

Haji chuckled at Kiyoshi's excited behavior and nodded his head. "Oh yes, very smart!" he commented, rubbing Kiyo's ears. "I thank you for the comments. I'm very flattered."
Then his head perked a bit, as if remembering something important. He smiled as he gazed down at Kiyoshi, and said, "That's another important thing. You've got to show gratitude and thankfullness. It's kind manners, and enough to impress anyone." He sauntered over to the widest part of the branch and lay down, curling his tail around the bark. He was quiet for a moment, studying his little student with love. Ah, how proud he was of all of his adoptive children!
"So, Kiyoshi. Is there someone in general that you wish to impress?" He implied curiously.

Kiyoshi flashed his perfect little smile as Haji congratulated him. He loved receiving praise, especially when it was from Haji. He couldn't help but love his adopted father. Who else was there to look up to? Sure, he had two older 'brothers', but there weren't that much older then he was! And they weren't half as awesome as Haji!
"So I always have to say thank you and things like that? It doesn't seem too hard! But I don't think I'll ever be as awesome as you!" Kiyoshi sighed, but his fluffy tail continued to wag happily behind him. He wasn't very good at acting depressed. It was just part of his nature to be continuously happy and hyper.
He seemed a little shocked when Haji asked him if he was trying to impress anyone. He really hadn't thought abut it, but he was kind of trying to impress someone. Well, not just one person. He wanted to bee looked up to by tons of other Tokoro. He wanted to be as noble as his father! "No specific person really! I just enjoy making people smile!" He said, flashing another sly smile.

"Oh, my sweet little Kiyoshi. I'm glad that you're turning out to be such a nice gentleman. If only I could have been like you." Haji's eyes grew dim for a moment, then his face brightened with another smile. "I'm sure you'll surpass me someday, Kiyo. I'm really not that great."
Haji dismissed his negative thoughts and stood up from his perch, stretching his legs as he did so. "Hmm... alright, I've got a quiz for you. I'll give you a situation, and you'll have to show me what you'd do about it. Ready?" He sauntered over to a fruit laden branch, easily in reach above his head. However, as he reached up for the fruit, he acted as if he were too short to retrieve it. After a few feined grabs, he turned his head to Kiyoshi and winked. "Hmm... it seems that I can not reach this fruit!" he sighed in staged depression. "Ah... oh well."

Kiyoshi tilted his head a bit, was he just imagining things or did Haji seemed a little down just then? He didn't really get a chance to ponder it for long, before Haji smiled and perked back up. Believe it or not, Kiyo was very easily distracted from his thoughts. He tried not to dwell on things for too long. That's what causes others to talk to themselves and go into depression! How could he be a gentlemen like that?
He watched him walk over to the tree and attempt to get the fruit. Kiyo didn't really get it at first, but then it clicked! Oh, how funny! "Here! I'll get that for you!" Kiyo announced dashing up into the tree and over the branch. He tugged one of the fruits free and hopped back down to Haji's level. "Here you go, Sir!" A bright smiled crossed his face and he had to remind himself not to laugh.
