[Well... his hair's all over the place, and he looks like hell, like he'd just gotten out of bed. Then again, it ain't far from the truth.]

We're out...

[His voice is still only a little groggy. A hoof mops up a bit of drool off the corner of his mouth, then the other against a tightly-shut eye.]

Helluva trip. Shit... got a lot to, uhm, process... but I think one'a the others'll be better at a report than me. Y'want answers anyway, hit me up in person. Not here. Makes sense, right?

[He sniffs, shakes his head and looks a little better. Wake up, Kanji. Wakey-wakey.]

Anyways, that's it.

[And that's it for the public. But he got to learning a little something from his time in there: When you survive spending a LOT of time risking your damned soul in the belly of the beast, you gotta thank your freakin' lucky stars, be bold and possibly face each day like it might be your last. Don't waste them. So with that in mind, after fixing up his mane...]

[Scroll to: Naoto]

...Where are ya?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I have... several times. However, I placed my job first and traditional education under it.

Hm, you would have. Still, I don't think it would sound right if you did.

Haha.. yeah.

[Blushing, he asked:]

H-hey, so... sh-should I call ya somethin' different? I-I mean, seein' as we're- w-we're...

Call me something else?

[What else besides... oh, a 'pet name' right?] I don't know; I'd rather you would just call me by my name. Do you think we should?

I-I dunno! Sh-should we?

I mean if... if there's somethin' you wanna call me, I'd- I'd be fine with it!

Hm...

[She didn't think she could do any pet names for him though. It would be weird...] ... what about... K-Kanji?

[Not sure if any pet names would work, nor that he would be ready for them, really.]

...Y-... yeah. I-I mean, I'm comfortable jus' callin' ya Naoto, so...

[He smiled, despite looking a little clammy now.]

J-jus' call me Kanji!

... It... might take a while for me to get used to that.

[Calling him just Kanji... that was so much.]

N-no rush. I'm just glad I could catch myself before I said somethin' weird.

[A sigh of relief. At least now he could just ease himself back into life as it was in this world. As he eased into silence in the immediate, he worked on his lunch. He couldn't keep everyone else waiting, after all, but... he wanted to spend just a little more time with her one-on-one before all that.]

Oh, alright.

[Now she imagined if Kanji had - out of the blue - called her something like 'cutie' or 'babe'. Oh, no, those would be embarrassing.]
