I whipped up a special new coffee blend.

[ nodding a bit ]

They're... a group of really incredible people. They've helped me ever since I ended up in Klein. [ he shoves his hands into his pockets. ] And they need me now, so. I have to hurry up and get back. And Yakumo needs to get back too, to his grand parents. They're probably freaked out.

[factoring]

A selfless reason to want to return. I can understand that.

[She takes a seat at one of the benches.]

Was it strange to see someone you knew here?

[silicone]

[ he will go and sit beside her. ]

... Kind of sucked, actually. Yakumo is really powerful... he's more use to them there in Klein than I am.

[ if i died, would it matter? ]

[factoring]

Is he? [New information to her.]

I'd be upset if my assistant was here with me.

[silicone]

He is... he's just... really shy. He doesn't want to hurt anyone.

[ a small smile. ] I bet. It's one thing if it's just yourself, another if someone else is with you. Even Topper being here, it makes me nervous.

[factoring]

[She gives a thoughtful nod.] Cruel of this place to bring him here. [It sounded like there were games that weren't so bloody.]

Still, it's important to take care of yourself. You can't help anyone if you're the one drowning.

[silicone]

I know... it's hard to keep your head above water, though.

[ shaking his head a bit ]

What's your assistant like...?

[factoring]

There's a lot trying to pull you under. [She gets it.]

She's a funny girl. Kind and stubborn, always running headfirst into trouble. [Said fondly.]

[silicone]

[ he grins ] Sounds like she's a good opposite to you on that last bit. You're always so calm and collected.

[factoring]

Hee hee. I do my best. It means we work well together.

What's the rest of your clan like?

[silicone]

A whole fruit salad, Kyoko.

[ dead pan ]

There are so many of them. Their personalities range from regimented and strict to very kind and selfless. Some are ridiculously dramatic, while others are... perplexing.

[factoring]

[So sorry, she immediately giggles.]

A colorful cast, from what I'm hearing. Do they get along alright?

[silicone]

[ she's allowed. ]

They manage it one way or another. Of course they get on each other's nerves, but... I'm there usually to settle things when tension builds.

[ a beat ]

The whole continent's probably on fire right now.

[factoring]

The entire continent? You must really be keeping them in check.
