(( gomen big sorry my icons got Hecked so anything before this tag is probably gonna look very out of place ))

[ Nom. Kaito all but devours the rest of his wrap half. ]

Yeah, probably. I'm gonna have to go there anyway, to collect for the project. We can explore together, if you'd like. I'll even rent us some pickaxes, just in case our magic isn't reliable.

[ On the contrary, Kaito is a coin-pincher through and through. Thrifty to a fault, he used to spend a good third of his monthly allowance on cat food for his son while putting out the bare minimum to feed himself (healthily, mind you! he's not into starving). It probably doesn't help that he'll throw his money at other people in need at the drop of a hat. ]

Mm. [ That hesitation has him awfully curious. ] As far as I know, I'm alone. There are other people who are potentially from my world, but it's just as possible that they're from parallel planets similar to mine. So, it's easier to just tell people that I'm all by myself.

[ Easier to handle things that way, too. Hibiki would yell at him for that, especially since they just went through the process of soulbonding... ]
