Ever since he was younger, Kazama had always been a bit on the orderly side. With a clear preference for clean-cut, neat agendas, he'd always been the timely, organized sort. But somewhere along the line -- probably after his realization that the line between the strong and weak was much more black-and-white than he'd thought -- that this mild perfectionism had evolved into something closer to an almost military adherence to times, regulations, schedules. It was easier than wasting any time on unnecessary hesitation, and so once he adapted to a change, he tended to stick by it with concrete strictness

With a book in hand and fingertips grazing over the corner of the pages, Itachi was seated by the table in which Kazama worked on. There was a certain contentment that was like a relief to be in the proximity of the other, it placed him in minor ease -- and perhaps it was selfish for Itachi to keep being the other’s guest, and that maybe he was none other than a minor inconvenience with the other’s routine. But in all honest truth, Itachi had dismissed everything else that took his existence before his own death. And Itachi had not felt at peace, completely so, not until he had returned to Elysium

Yosuke broke out into his usual smile at the sight of Kazama, honestly happy to see him. "Hit, it's been awhile-holy shit!" The first portion of what he said was spoken in a deadpan, scripted manner; the latter not so much. His pose shifted as he was pointing at something that was just behind Kazama. Realizing what it was he was doing, he straightened his posture to stare in a disbelieving manner at his senpai. Maybe, it was a ghost - a weird sort of vision because of everything that he had been thinking of, but it really did look like Itachi was now living here. He blinked a few times as he realized that he hadn't explained why he suddenly called out; hadn't really heard anything that had been said to him for the last few (minutes? seconds?) that he been standing and looking over the other's shoulder with the hope of getting that same glimpse so that he wouldn't think that he had gone crazy

He couldn't help it -- at the sudden expletive, he also looked back into the apartment and realized that Yosuke might have caught sight of Itachi. Which would no doubt end badly -- because while Kazama knew full well that it was hardly Yosuke's fault Itachi had been murdered, that didn't mean Yosuke was exactly the best person to have blabbing Itachi's return to the Terra. And so Kazama only shifted his weight to lean against the doorframe, subtle blocking Yosuke's view into the apartment somewhat. The concerned question, he answered only with a faint sideways cant of the head, at first. (Right, Yosuke didn't know of his deal with the Mad Hatter yet. Of course. It would probably be better if the other didn't have to know about it at all.) Hand raised to rub at the back of his neck, he gave a half shrug -- "It's nothing to worry about." He almost added, 'any more,' before catching himself -- no doubt it would have opened a whole new can of worms for Yosuke to flail over

"Nothing to worry about? How can you say that?" His arms crossed now as he decided to try to look a little annoyed. Kazama may have some amazing skills now, but that didn't mean that he should just go wandering around the Abyss. Even if it was for Itachi. Lips pressed together, he craned his neck again to see if he could catch a glimpse of the man again. He lowered his head slightly though at how Kazama was blocking the door; flinching as he felt that he was being "just a little" nosy. But, that didn't mean he shouldn't be, right? This seemed like completely different from what he had said he was going to do before; not butt in so much in his senpai's life. Somewhere, his brain sighed at his actions
