[Watching Ryoji from behind a lamppost. Just... watching. He's actually a bit curious about him and that SENSE OF DEATH but he hasn't found Minato yet so...

Also he's soaking wet. |:]

there goes his brain

[derparcana]

[ ... Hey wait, he senses--himself? This makes no sense. Ryoji turns around. ]

Uh... hey there!

[ Isn't that... h-him? Naaah, no way. HE was him, right? ]

You don't have to hide, y'know. I'm totally not gonna bite, or anything.

like it was ever there

[deathlinked]

... You can see me?

[Well. Huh. There goes his cover too.]

... point

[derparcana]

Well, yeah! Why wouldn't I be able to--

[ Dot. dot. dot. ]

... Wait a minute. Shouldn't you... how are you still here?

[deathlinked]

... What do you mean?

[derparcana]

You're you! I mean... we're us!

[ AKAJSLKJGH he flails a little, fumbling over his words. This makes no senseeeee. ]

I mean I'm you!

[deathlinked]

Is that why you feel like that?

[Like Death.]

[derparcana]

... Well, yeah. I used to be you--before I was me, anyway. I was you because I was missing my pieces.

[ ... Ughhhh, his head hurts. ]

How'd you end up on your own?

[deathlinked]

... I knew I was missing something.

[... Examining Ryoji, he takes a step out from behind the lamppost.]

I arrived here, wet and alone. I was just in his room, I told him my name and then I was brought here. It's a curious thing, isn't it? Being pulled to another world.

[derparcana]

Yeah, it is kind of weird!

[ A thoughtful pause of consideration goes to thinking back. Those memories were hazy; he'd only recently recovered them, after all. ]

I... yeah, I remember that. Sounds kind of like this place just... stole us both, or something.

[ That's about as far as his poor brain can go, because OW thinking. ]

Well... no use thinking about it now too much. We're here now, right? Maybe we should get you dried off.

[deathlinked]

I'm fine like this!

[He needs to find Minato first. Minato Minato Minato Minato--]

Do... you know where he is?

[derparcana]

We can look for Minato-kun together. I'm sure you can tell he's here. Besides, you won't die without him, or anything. I know it feels like it, but don't worry! I'M here to protect you.

[ Because he is OH so competent. ]

[deathlinked]

[EASILY GULLIBLE]

Really?! That sounds very nice. I'd like to be friends with you if we could.

[derparcana]

[ OH PHAROS, YOU POOR CHILD. But he will protect him, actually. And it turns out he can, because YAY powers! So it works out. ]

Well then!

[ Ryoji offers his tiny!self a hand. This is totally not weird, nope. ]

I'm Ryoji Mochizuki. Now we can be friends!

[deathlinked]

[Staring at the hand before just giving a small bow and then fidgeting with the hem of his shirt.]

I'm... Pharos.

[That was his name, right? The name he was given. Or made up, at least. The name he gave to Minato, so it was obviously his name.]

[derparcana]

[ He pauses absently when Pharos doesn't shake his hand, but doesn't dwell too much. He'll roll with it; it's alright if he'd rather introduce himself that way, right? Ryoji gives him a big smile. ]

See? Now we're friends! So you can trust me, alright? Let's get you dried off so you don't catch a cold, then we can go look for Minato-kun.
