Mikami had felt a foreboding and darkness lurking around the Mansion for weeks now. He'd been keeping to himself, quietly, but his mind was ever active

Here's someone who might be sending mixed signals. Johnny's definitely got the gait of a thug, on one hand. On the other hand, he's also a rocker, a barman, and altogether, someone who's been living an honest life at the mansion.

He wanders in, slightly sleepy, hair a touch mussed from having been out late. He's definitely a night person, and he's trudging to the kitchen for coffee in the middle of the afternoon.

To Mikami, Johnny does look like a suspicious character.

So upon seeing him, he follows him from a slight distance to the kitchen to see what he's up to.

In the kitchen, Johnny proceeds to look for coffee, finds it, then makes said coffee.

He's probably aware that some guy is following him, and is deliberately ignoring it because he doesn't care. (Or he's too sleepy to have noticed, that's possible too, and with him, not always easy to tell.)

Mikami lurks by the doorway, still watching. He's not exactly hiding so eventually he would be spotted.

Johnny eventually turns to look at Mikami, once his coffee is brewing.

"... gotta problem, four-eyes?"

Mikami frowns at that. It remind him of all the bullies he'd had to contend with at school.

"There may be a problem, yes," he replies stiffly, moving forward. "Who are you?"

[johnny_rockfort]

"Name's Johnny. I run the bar downstairs." He looks at Mikami, yawns without covering his mouth. "What's it to you?"

[loyalprosecutor]

"Do you have a license for that bar?" Mikami questions stiffly.

[johnny_rockfort]

"Who's asking?"

Of course Johnny would have no such thing. Nor would he care, though.

[loyalprosecutor]

"I am Teru Mikami - and I uphold the law where I can."

[johnny_rockfort]

"Good for you. How's that going," Johnny replies absently, because his coffee is ready and that is where his attention is.

[loyalprosecutor]

"Not very well. People are disagreeable - like you," he says bluntly.

[johnny_rockfort]

"I'm sure they're all following your lead, pissy-pants." Johnny shrugs, takes a sip of coffee, lets out a happy sigh, and gives Mikami a smug grin. "You know, bees and vinegar, they don't work so well together, buddy."

[loyalprosecutor]

"I can't be nice to criminals." He gives Johnny a pointed loook as if he's already counting him as one of them.

[johnny_rockfort]

"Ah," Johnny replies evenly. "And what's my crime?"

[loyalprosecutor]

"I'm sure you have many," he doesn't like the look of you, Johnny.
