[The pillow is actually cool enough to be comfortable sleeping in on. Not that he'll sleep in long. There's a lot to do, after all, saving the world every day. Besides, Ren can't remember the last time he slept on a pillow

**Some girl with long black hair is storming over to your house. And now under your window.**

That is entirely unnecessary!

[teh_sword]

[Hoshi--retreat! A few silent seconds of hiding behind the curtains before peeking sheepishly back out over the windowsill. A-and a weak little wave.]

Eheheh... sorry. Got... kinda excited, 's all. Inside voice now. Can do.

[tohnoinversion]

**Putting hands on her hips**

Just what are you so excited about anyway. This place... is hardly anything to be happy about.

[teh_sword]

A-ah! I dunno, so far it's not so bad. Look, I have a house!

[--oh right, inside voice. Whoops. Sorry there.]

[tohnoinversion]

You have a...

**Facepalm** You're new, aren't you?

[teh_sword]

[Tiny salute~]

I am!

[tohnoinversion]

Unless you're from some sort of chaotic world, or supposed to be dead, this is not an ideal place...

[teh_sword]

...looks pretty ideal.

[tohnoinversion]

So you like the idea of being forced away from your home and everything you know?

[teh_sword]

Guess I just kinda come from a screwy place.

[Proper leaning out of the window again for studying.]

You're not happy here...?

[tohnoinversion]

**Armfolding now...** Most people aren't. I'm... content, but it's not home. And often more dangerous.

[teh_sword]

[A thoughtful little nose-wrinkle. And really proper inside-voice. See how hard he tries.]

Promise I won't yell so much, then. If it's just making things worse.

[tohnoinversion]

It's just unusual... And annoying. You couldn't possibly make things worse that way.

[teh_sword]

...are you okay?

[tohnoinversion]

I'm fine... This place is just irritating sometimes...

[teh_sword]

'm sorry.

[But perky smile anyway.]

Maybe today'll be a good day, though!
