Cordis had long since grown used to Hisoka stripping at the drop of a hat. The instant Hisoka moved to take his clothes off, Cordis covered Gon's and Killua's eyes.
"Don't look. It's filthy."
Cordis had barely finished speaking when Hisoka began stretching, his face full of hunger. He clearly wanted Chrollo very badly.
