Anyone who had seen Heihachi's room prior to today would recognize that the room had undergone a complete transformation. It had a floor again, for starters. The mess that had been swiftly accumulating since he'd come aboard had all been cleared away. The screws had been put into proper storage, his tools had all been reclaimed and put back into the pockets of his vest, and everything else had been neatly organized onto his bed ready to be packed into his bags

Grinning widely at the offering, Tira snatched it right out of Heihachi's hands like an overly enthusiastic child and not the sinister murder that she is. Her more adolescent nature always seemed to come and go like the changing Seasons but luckily around the happy mechanic, her 'innocent' side shines more often. Snacking noisy on the candy for a few moments, her violet gaze shifted over toward Heihachi again.

"Are those more candies in those bags? Huh?" She asked while pointing toward the packed luggage nearby. Tira seemed to only have one thing on her mind today and its 'chocolate'.

"Nah, I dun think those are candies." Tira mumbled to herself as she munched on a chocolate bar.

"No, no more candy," he told her. As murderous as she could sometimes be, he was always a little reassured by her childish antics. It seemed to balance her out, in her own strange way. "Just tools and clothes."

He hadn't yet told anyone what he had in mind yet - not even Kambei, who would normally be the first to hear what was on Heihachi's mind. He felt bad for holding back, but at the same time it wasn't a subject he wanted to bring up with anyone yet. It was tied to a bunch of feelings too new and raw and indescribable that he hadn't figured out yet and really didn't want to.

He was a little curious about Tira's visit though. Normally if she wanted something, Maxim would be her first choice. "So how are you going, Tira? You've been quiet lately."

He wasn't sure if this was a reassuring sign or not, but at least her threats had died down and no one had turned up dead yet. That was good, right?

Staring for a moment at all the bags that Heihachi already packed, a worried gaze actually flickered in those amethysts pools for a second. She continued to snack on the bag of treats he given her, munching through her second chocolate bar until she just suddenly stopped. Her gaze lingered on the mechanic for a few moments before looking over toward the luggage again. A look of realization crossed her face as she just nodded her head in agreement to whatever thought crossed her mind now about the mechanic. It was unlike her to show this level of understanding, especially considering how outlandish Tira can be at times.

"Huh?" She was snapped from her silent reprieve when Heihachi asked her that question. "Tch...yeah...well, shit is borin' lately so I ain't got nothin' to do." She mumbled as she walked further into the room and flopped down on the floor.

"What about you? Eh? Ya ain't smilin', nope. Not smilin' really."
