When Kanda heard the knock on his door, he had Mugen ready in one hand, just to be on the safe side. Though, the only visitors he's only had his entire time here have been Allen and Alma, but. Can't be too careful with Crow and Noah both wandering around now.

Cautiously, Kanda opened the door a crack, peeked out to see who it was before opening the door fully.

"Come on. Where you followed?"

[alma_karma]

Alma shook his head, peering nervously at Mugen before quickly moving inside. There was no reason to be afraid of the weapon, of course, but he'd never seen it drawn before. That meant things were serious.

"I don't think so."

[promisedlotus]

Nodding, Kanda stepped back to allow Alma to come inside. Once he was inside, Kanda shut the door. He'd rather not to take extreme measures, since he knew that Alma wasn't the type to just stay in one place, but it had to be done.

"We'll get your books and things when it's a little more quiet outside."

[alma_karma]

Alma shifted awkwardly from foot to foot, finally putting his jacket on properly as he glanced about the room. Not that there was anything new to see, but it at least felt better than standing there doing nothing.

"Is there really a Noah here? Allen said there was a Noah."

[promisedlotus]

Kanda paused for a moment as he attached his sword to the strap on his side. Easier access.

"Yeah. Both of us have fought him in the past. One of the Noahs, at least." Kanda glanced over at Alma and let out a small breath. "Nothing's going to happen, Alma. We're going to make sure of it."

[alma_karma]

Alma fiddled with the edges of sleeves, pulling one out where it was rolled up to let it flop over his small hand.

"... But what if it does? I can't even help..."

[promisedlotus]

"Then I'll protect you. I'll be damned if anything happens to you. Don't worry about fighting, Alma." Kanda walked back over toward his bed and grabbed the blanket from it and handing it to Alma.

"Here. You still look a little cold."

[alma_karma]

"I'm not worried about me...

He took the blanket, wrapping it over his head and around himself, pink cheeks still perfectly visible through the little hole. Alma knew he'd probably be okay no matter what happened (Because he was always okay), but to hear such protective talk actually coming from Kanda...

It was nice.

[promisedlotus]

Treasure it, Alma, it was practically the only time you'd ever hear it from him. Have an awkward headpat, too.

"Try and warm up and get some sleep."

[alma_karma]

Alma smiled into his blanket under the headpat, holding onto that warm little feeling growing in his chest. Even in the cold with scary things like Noah about... things would be okay.

"Are you gonna sleep too?"

[promisedlotus]

"Of course." This would have to be the only time where being a light sleeper would pay off.

[alma_karma]

Alma flashed Kanda a grin before scampering over to Kanda's bed and hauling himself up into it. It was pretty late, and some of the adrenaline from his initial talk and freak-out with Allen was starting to wear off.

[promisedlotus]

Kanda gave a soft snort and walked over to the foot of the bed, making himself comfortable at the foot of it. He could easily watch both the door and the window from here.

[alma_karma]

After kicking off his flimsy shoes and waiting for Kanda to sit, Alma stared the slow process of scooting closer to the other boy.

For warmth. Yes, that's why. Of course.

"I wonder why so many people all showed up at once..."

[promisedlotus]

Kanda couldn't help but glance back at him curiously. Ohai Alma.

"Who knows."

[alma_karma]

Scooting closer, Alma blinked up at the older boy. He was a somewhat comical sight to see, completely covered by the blanket but for his face and a few tufts of black hair sticking out.

"I hope they're all okay. It's really cold outside."
