[Ken shrugs.] I dunno. I think you can disappear even without dying here, so I dunno what dying does, byon. [His expression clouds over.] ...there was this girl, Chrome...she was nice to me. She disappeared already.

[Tsuna's going to love hearing that.]

1/2

[goeshyper]

EH?! Chrome?!

[She was here? When? Where? It must have been recently if Ken remembers her so fondly. Then he decides to pull back his surprise. He's not supposed to make it too obvious that he knows people from their world.]

[goeshyper]

[He shifts his face from surprised to pensive.]

That's an unusual name for a girl. But I hope she's okay. I hope when she disappeared, she went to somewhere safe.

[Tsuna really hopes Chrome doesn't get a cruel fate. He hopes disappearing just means returning home.]

[junkyarddog]

I dunno, byon. [Ken looks despondent. Being surprised by someone as nice as Chrome, only to lose her immediately, still stings.] I thought heaven was supposed to be the nicest place somebody could go, but it's just like anywhere else. And she was a goddess, byon. If this place isn't safe for a god, I don't think anywhere is.

[goeshyper]

[ It already seems like Ken isn't hopeful, and perhaps he knows more about the situation than Tsuna does. He definitely does if he can speak of the heavens as he does. Tsuna has been suspicious of them ever since he arrives, now he's given more proof to be distrustful.]

That's true. I never heard of a place that just fills in gods and goddesses like this. Do you think something bigger is going on?

[Now he's very worried about Chrome. Really hoping she's good and well.]

[junkyarddog]

Dunno. [Ken shrugs in a way that says he has never really thought about it and never really plans to. Thinking and speculating are Chikusa's bag, not his. If it weren't for Chrome's disappearance and Ken's melancholy about that, he probably wouldn't even have put as much thought into the subject as his previous statements would suggest.] I'm just a shinki, byon.

[goeshyper]

I guess I'm asking too much of you...sorry. [ Some people just don't want to be involved, and that's fair. Plus it seems the gods really had the power to do things, Tsuna just has to figure out how he could help.]

Anyway, I hope you eat more tasty food. [That hasn't fallen on the floor!] I should probably get some more too.

[Since you totally ate his!]

[junkyarddog]

Okay. [Ken takes another bite off of one of his (rescued? stolen?) skewers, studying Tsuna briefly.] Hey, what's your name?

[You forget, Tsuna - you know Ken, but he doesn't know you. And you haven't had any kind of introduction. Then again, Ken's not one to stick at formalities, so he's not going to complain about the lack of manners.]

[goeshyper]

[ Tsuna has to hold back making a confused face. He keeps forgetting that Ken and others from his world don't remember him. Seeing his mistake, he apologizes.]

Sorry, I thought I gave it to you already. [ He must have been distracted by the whole fact that you stole his food. That's even more of a violation of manners.]

My name is Tsunayoshi Sawada, but call me Tsuna for short.

[ He's still not sure if he needs to add in what god he is...] And what's your name?

[junkyarddog]

Ken Joshima. [He takes another bite.] If you see any other little dogs, just bark at 'em, byon. If you're scarier and stronger than them, they're not gonna bother you.

[And with that, Ken wanders off. Aside from the laughter and mockery, Tsuna just had a semi-civil conversation with him...]
