[Action]

[So after running into Izumo and getting properly dressed, Rin sets out to complete his sweep for Kurikara in the item shop before heading back "home" to House 15. Possibly with Izumo he goes back there but maybe not. Either way, he ends up going there in the relatively early morning. Run into him en route, while he's looking for Kurikara, or when he's there.]

[Voice]

...Ossu. It's me, Rin Okumura. I got sent back. [And I've been informed my brother went home.

I'm apart from Yukio. I know I upset a lot of you. He bites his lip and then shakes his head. No, he's not saying any of that]

Pity it's too cold, h-huh? I wanted to go swimming in this pool, now it's kinda too cold for it...

[...Haha...]

Because is that not the best way to start a wonderful bond of friendship?

[ always oblivious. ]

... Okay. [ she even accepts that answer, apparently. ]

It's really, really good to see Rin-kun again. I was told I should be happy that Rin-kun went home, but.. I still missed him.

What, you can make it so we can swim or skate? For sure?

That ain't the same thing! [He snaps that, without thinking. "Dear Friend?" What's that even mean, he's not nearly as close to her or anyone here as he is the cram school, right? And Yukio is his brother. His twin. His only family. He doesn't like to play up his own tragedy, but right now he's actually a little overwhelmed by the reality of being apart from him again]

I didn't just... [His voice doesn't have bite now. If anything, his moroseness overwhelms him now]

[Ikki doesn't mind the snap, he expected it, after all it was a low blow and he himself would have snapped at anyone throwing that at him. Specially when it's so recent. He's not going to apologize though.]

I know it's not the same thing, but for Kotomi it is the same thing. That kid hasn't had it easy back at her world to make many friends until recently, when she was a kid she barely knew about a world outside of her home, much less about other kids, she only had her parents who were often outside home and her books. In this place she has been meeting many people, people that talk to her and don't bully her, who are willing to be "friends" with her or at least to keep talking to her and be nice to her.

[He pauses and growls. Only for Kotomi he would bother to talk this much about this.]

I know that for the rest of us that isn't a lot and we wouldn't call someone a friend just because of that, but for her? It means a lot, it means that you're her "dear friend" and she treasures you as something unique in the world that can't be replaced or forgotten no matter what. And when she loses on e of those friends she has found here, it just breaks her heart, believe it or not an d there's little comfort that she can be given then.

Colds?!

A...Ah. That's too bad. [He can't bring himself to say "sorry." He wanted to be there. He wanted to be home. He does now again...]

[Like he hasn't gone through similar things. But huh... Kotomi was that lonely? Like him, or more like Shiemi, actually? He darkly exhales. He won't apologize for it, he wanted to be gone. But at the same time...]

Don't call your girlfriend "that kid," man. It's awkward.

[It's not about apologizing for being gone, Ikki understands some don't want to be here, he doesn't want to be here but now at least he has Kotomi to give him a reason to not mind be here.]

She's a kid in many ways, though. And she's my woman, I'll call her whatever I want.

[Light and short chuckle, he said it without thinking actually.]

.. I'm sorry. [ it's as if she senses his slight hesitation for once, her expression dropping. ] Was that.. a bad thing to do..?

I've made fields in there before, with trees and everything. How much harder can it be to put a lake in there too? [So. Not for sure. But he can try!]

If that is the price we must pay for indulging our springtime of youth with a dip into the chilling waters? Then I shall gladly endure it and grow into a better man from it!

Dude, Ikki, that is weird. You like kids?!

[SERIOUSLY? SERIOUSLY]

Nah. ...Nah, that's nothing you can help.

So you aren't able to do it! Or at least you don't know for sure!

Man we're going to end up with blue balls if we try that?! We just met, are you serious?!

Only if they are baked with potatoes.

[Sarcasm and an eyeroll.]

How do you get to that train of thought just from a random comment? If I had called her "sweetheart" would you be thinking I like to decorate things with pink hearts with lace border?

Shut up already! You've just come back, I'm trying to be nice by thinking of a way to go swimming and ice skate right now and you keep knocking down all my ideas!

[All of which are excellent ideas by the way.]

My name is Rock Lee! They call me Konoha's Beautiful Wild Green Beast! And I ensure that all of my words are as earnest as possible. Now please, New Friend Rin-kun, allow me into your swimming pool!

So it's okay for me to miss Rin-kun if he would leave again?

...Well I'm not gonna back down now! But this is totally nuts, just so you know!

I'm not shooting them down, I'm just making sure you know there's some holes in those, Caius!

No, because "sweetheart" is totally normal. There's all sorts of normal things to call your girlfriend, and "kid" just seems weird.

Yeah, I guess so. Like I said, y'can't help it.
