...Oh. Lowering his arms, Chikusa resists the urge to wrap them around himself. Mukuro was really right. Chikusa knew he had his own preconceptions about mermaids, but somehow it's worse hearing it from someone close to him. Worse when he's this way. "Makoto... You know that's not-"

His slow nature bites him once again, however, with his brother already beneath the waves. All Chikusa can do is float backwards, trying to keep his tendrils out of the way so that he doesn't poison himself by accident. He has no idea what to say that could convince his brother of the truth.... So hopefully inaction will be enough.
