There was something vaguely creepy about the way Kurai-- so that was her name! --was staring at Kenji. Still, she didn't look<em>threatening</em>, or anything, even if the grey halo following her everywhere was anything but ordinary. "All right then, Kurai. Welcome. I'm still, er, figuring things out, but make yourself at home." This seemed like a really strange thing for him to say, but she seemed content examining things by herself in this... interesting... new world.<br/><br/>Then came something that made Kenji shrink back a little reflexively, or rather someone. Ty Dao was understandably upset at what he had just done. Worst of all, though, she was<em>right</em>. Who knew what he could unleash on not just his apartment, but the entire world, if he was careless? "You're... right..." he said almost without realizing it. That even the unflappable Obscenity would be so upset by the book was even more disconcerting. Still, though, he didn't want to get rid of the dictionary his grandfather had given him... Giving up before he had even begun getting to the bottom of this mess didn't strike him as something a strong and reliable Master would do, either way. ...Sadly, he still had a long way to go, or else he'd actually be<em>sharing</em>all this with the rest of the gang instead of keeping it to himself.<br/><br/>Then Haruka came and snapped him out of his reverie. "Make it... stop?" Hearing her stomach rumble again made his own respond in kind, reminding him that no one had had breakfast yet. "Oh, oh, right! You're not used to getting hungry, are you? Come on, then, Haruka, Ty Dao, I can make some eggs." He eyed the window-gazing Kurai, unsure of wether she'd listen to him. "And you can come too, if you want to meet Kodam-- ...Kodama!"<br/><br/>Just as he had spoken the Echo girl's name, remembering her made Kenji realize the subtle but definitely unusual smell that was wafting in from the kitchen. Without pondering this any further, he ran out of the room, hoping that his worst fears, or even any of his best ones, hadn't just realized themselves.
