Honestly, he didn't know what to expect on a cold rainy night - just roaming around the active wards on the lookout for potential recruits—but something else caught his eye.

In an alleyway not far from his perch on a rooftop. he spots it, a figure. Perhaps a homeless person, but they seemed pretty hungry from his view. so he figured to investigate, or at least check it out, least he could do then just leave it which would have been a better idea than anything.

Jumping down a few with a small thud, arching his back and straightening up as he looked back at the alleyway with his kagune materializing away. - He didn't want to seem all that threatening if it happened to be a human, even if his mask gave it away. 

"Hello?" Kaneki called over, his voice echoing against the insolent walls. the background noise of Tokyo filling his ears whilst adventuring further in the narrow space.

And he knew something - he quickly turned to the side, grabbed the suspect, and pulled them against his chest with his hand, restricting them. It seemed to be what he expected. just a hungry ghoul, by the looks of it.

"You .. didn't need to do that." Kaneki noted to more to himself than anything. Pressing his nail against their bottom lip and musing.

Though he didn't want to bring a feral ghoul to Anteiku's hospitalisation. He could hear Touka's complaints.

"You're a sad sight." He murmured, "Are you too far gone?" Kaneki asked, his breath hitting the back of their ear.
