He still wasn't entirely used to any of it. This city and all of its differences from home were far and away from what he knew. Even the explanation he'd been given rang through his mind like a confusing echo that left him turning in circles. The limo ride did little in the way of giving him time to digest it all, and far too soon, he was let out in front of a manicured walkway that lead to what was supposed to be his new home.
He noted it, but still, he turned away.
As he walked, the driver who had brought him there stiffened, his voice filled with concern when she asked if there was somewhere else he would have preferred being taken.
"Ah, never you mind. Your kindness is appreciated, but unnecessary. This small fox is a wild one, after all. I'm prone to wander where I like."
Of course, he doesn't know where to wander in a place like this. Being given too much of something sometimes leaves a person with no place to start; it seemed he was no exception. What he needed was a companion---perhaps someone who knew this place and its intricacies---to help him along. It seemed he wouldn't be returning to his master anytime soon, after all.
The first he came across would suffice, he thought. If not, he would find another. Ignorant of the outcome, he smiled at the stranger.
"Would you care to play assistant for a little while?"

A place where one can be themselves.
It sounded nice in theory. To Kogitsunemaru, still very new to the workings of this city, it sounded ideal. Autonomy seemed a place to find answers---maybe even allies---and he was sorely in need of both. It had been a few days now since he'd been thrown into this place, and he felt there was still much he had to learn. Being a so-called "Dominant" had responsibilities that went beyond the pale, even with its readily apparent perks. Getting away from it all in order to understand it was simply his best option, as far as he was concerned.
His concerns hadn't stopped him from putting his name in the lottery at the door---rather, they were the main reason why he'd chosen to do it to begin with. The danshi knew full well the benefit of building bonds. Oftentimes, friends were what one needed most in times of strife. This certainly qualified.
When his phone chimed with a new message, a stranger's name greeted him. Scanning over the crowd, he saw others were getting similar messages, not at all a help in assisting him to spot the one who would be his "partner" for the evening. With a small sigh, he decided to take a chance---a chance that took onger than anticipated as he adjusted to using the device to begin with.

If there's something else you'd like to explore, feel free to reach out! I'm terribly new to all this, but I'll do my best. ;u ;
