Um... [WOW, this is awkward. Not only is it obvious this kid is young and tiny, but it's also fairly obvious from his expression he's incredibly uncomfortable.] ... Hello. [Or maybe that expression is his neutral one.]My name is Ken Amada

[...oh hell]

[That's what I thought.]

[Something in her head just screeches to a halt when Ken appears on the screen. Sure, she's glad to see him. Ken's her friend, and she's missed all of her friends from back home. But even if she knows Ken to be a capable fighter, seeing him here makes her nervous for his safety... and... well... she doesn't know what date he's from. Averting an internal conflict between her friends would be a good idea, even if they hadn't managed it back home.

The most important thing right now is to make sure he's okay, and not too shaken up by the sudden change of scenery. Having a bit of support from friends is always welcome in a place like this, after all.]

Ken-kun!

[The last thing she has to worry about is a shaken Ken. A Ken whose insides are burning with anger that he was so damn close, whose stomach is twisted with the anxiety of appearing here, whose mind is racing through the options he has and wondering how he will continue to fool everyone he meets for longer than he had originally assumed--that is what Minako might have to worry about.]

... Hello. [... Again. He can't return her name... Maybe she's friends with someone in the dorm.

... She might also have to worry about a Ken who's never seen her in his life.]

[wildcardette]

[She's worried about that too, you know. Moreso than ever now she knows the whole story ahead of time - she doesn't want to see Ken hurt emotionally or physically, but she doesn't want to see Shinjiro go through any of that either and she has no clue how to achieve that without someone getting hurt.]

... [She pauses and frowns.]

... Ken-kun, do you know who I am?

[video]

[secondgrave]

Are you a Gekkoukan student?

[He has no clue. The frown makes him feel kind of bad, but he's really never seen her before.]

[Voice] awkward meets awkward

[white_lolita]

You are from Iwatodai. Another member of SEES.

[A pause.]

You will have friends here.

[Voice] this is so incredibly awkward.

[secondgrave]

[The voice sounds familiar but--]

There's more of SEES here?

[Voice]

[white_lolita]

[It is, isn't it? All quiet and monotone.]

Yes. Several.

[Voice]

[secondgrave]

--Who? [All the urgency in the world. Who you are can wait.]

[Oh what the hell, BREW? Stop bring kids here in Death City!]

K-Ken-kun?

[video]

[secondgrave]

Fuuka-san? [... Ohay. No need to look so upset man 8(]

[video]

[ohmyjuno]

Where are you? Are you safe? Are you hurt? Are you...okay? [and goes on and on]

[video]

[secondgrave]

I-I'm all right, Fuuka-san. Don't worry. [He spares her one of his real smiles.]

I just got here a little earlier, today.

Thank you for introducing yourself, Ken. My name is Roy Mustang - I'm the head of Death City's Office for General Security.

If you need any help settling in, or just want someone to talk to, you're free to approach me.

[secondgrave]

Thank you. I just want to be helpful, to be honest.

[thewarisover]

I know. It's a bit refreshing, really.

If I'm already here, why not help? Just because I'm a child, I'm not exempt me from offering.
