The days had long blurred together for Lavi, and while he was used to this world, mostly, he couldn't say he had adjusted quite yet. He was still restless and tense, still expecting an Akuma attack or for Tyki to go ballistic, but there had been nothing of the sort. So he had been doing the only thing he could - gather knowledge.

And this latest case of disappearing and reemerging imPorts, and reports of some performing deeds in other states, was what kept him occupied these days. He was startled out of his research by the knock on the door, but relaxed soon after. There was really only one person who ever visited him.

Lavi's usually hazardous apartment was strewn with countless newspapers when he opened the door, which was something new. His brow rose over his single visible eyes, before he stepped back to let Baroona in. Wondering what had him so unusually and visibly agitated.

"Hey..."

Baroona slipped in without a word, not bothering to hide his own consternation. Which was weird unto itself, considering how guarded he was. Or acted, at the very least. He ran his hands over the newspaper, turning it towards him so he could read it. While he could make out most of the words, the few he couldn't were enough to aggravate him further. He scowled and continued to pick his way through Lavi's apartment. His wandering proved to be quite aimless and even more pointless, a simple way to delay the need for speech.

Eventually, he managed to find the words, but it took him another few moments to say them. What he found he wanted to do he had never done often and the pauses between his words were long and uncertain.

"I... needed to talk to you." He said, voice soft and unsure. He had his back to Lavi as he spoke, making it all the harder to hear him.

"Uh huh." Lavi didn't doubt that, but he couldn't help but find it odd, between Baroona's distress and the fact that he would seek out Lavi for something as simple as this.

Like he considered the elusive Exorcist a friend.

"Let's hear it. What's on your mind?"

To try and alleviate some of the awkwardness, Lavi started to straighten up a little; not usually self-conscious about his mess, but a little embarrassed that he got so absorbed into these events that Baroona's arrival had made him start.

"Do you mind if I smoke?" He was getting nervous, he realized. Needed a cigarette to calm his nerves. Remind him of his Master's teachings. Guard the emotions. Let nothing slip by. He was letting a lot slip by, he had noticed and pulled out a cigarette without waiting for permission. Half-turned towards Lavi, he lit the cigarette. He took a long drag before bothering to reply, the smoke curling up as he looked out at one of Lavi's bookshelves.

"I don't think I belong here."

The cigarette had steeled him but not enough. The signs were there, if you knew where to look. A slight clench of the hand, the slightly furrowed brow, the fact that he wouldn't even look at Lavi as he spoke. He hadn't wanted to admit this and he was ashamed that he was.
