I was a lot taller then. [A good two feet] Back then, I was taken into Reira-dono's and Kurt's apartment. They allowed me use of the couch. [Actually he had to fight to make sure Kurt didn't give him his bead and let him have the couch.]

But honestly, I never imagined taking the initiative to build my own place either. It was a learning experience, despite the outcome.

[andeatit]

[Despite the wings, Light sits back.] Taller? I assume you only had two legs at the time then. Do you miss being human?

[Reaching out, he picks up his cup, though he doesn't take another drink yet.] A lot can change in such little time, can't it?

[intercalaryninja]

Yes, that's right. I was a human. [It's an interesting question though, and he didn't know what to make of it at first, but the answer he gives is said with certainty.]

This form has its uses, and I have grown accustomed to it as of late, but I do miss being myself. My reasonings are rather selfish though, and please forgive me for not sharing in those.

[Another sigh.] A lot can... but some has been for the better. Reira-dono in particular has been having nothing but positive growth since being here.

[andeatit]

Your reasons are yours. If you want to share them, I'll listen, but I'm hardly going to get angry if you have secrets of your own to keep. There are things we don't know about each other, things that might change over time, but some might not. Sorry if the question was too personal. The form is still new to me so I do miss it, being human.

[He offers a smile as he continues to sip at his tea.]

That's good to hear. Ryslig isn't the kind of place kids would normally have an easy time. I guess he does have you.

[intercalaryninja]

It is alright. Most would not find that as such. In all regards, you're technically a newcomer, though you have been doing an exceptional job in finding a place in Ryslig, if I may say so.

[He shakes his head though, but it's more a humbling gesture than a dismissive one.]

I am but one of the many bonds that Reira has made here that shapes who he is today. The life he lived before Ryslig didn't allow Reira-dono to talk to many people, and it's good that there are many people looking out for him.

[andeatit]

Sometimes, it still feels new, sometimes it feels like I've been here for a very long time. More than that, I suppose the amount of experiences are more important. Ryslig hasn't taken it slow.

But thanks. [Light takes another sip before putting his cup down.] Coming from you, that means a lot.

[Brown eyes then go to the cup as he listens, and nods slightly in agreement.] It s good he's learning from a lot of different influences, but the two of you are likely closest.

[intercalaryninja]

You're very involved with a number of things. It's good.

[This place was very far from slow. Sometimes weeks would fly by without a care in the world. May was quickly coming to a close, and Tsukikage would be approaching 9 months here in this world.

The man gives a small smile at that, and he even chuckles a little. He does treasure that bond with Reira more than anything.]

You wouldn't have guessed he used to resent me, would you?

[andeatit]

[No, there's nothing slow or forgiving about Ryslig. Perhaps Light has pushed himself to know as much as possible as quickly as possible, but it feels like the quieter days stretch on while the harder ones take much longer. He realizes it's subjective, that all days have the same hours, but it really is so different than his normal life.

In comparison, this really is an easier day.]

Hm? No, I wouldn't have guessed. Why would he resent you?

[intercalaryninja]

[He smiles quietly to himself, and his spare eyes stare at the cup, gently playing with the rim with spidery fingers.]

After Reira-dono told his brother that he didn't want to fight against a friend he had made in the Synchro Dimension, his brother entrusted the fight to me and I went in his place. However, Reira-dono of now, is nothing like how he was back then. He was very dependent on his brother, and he was worried that he might lose him to me, since Reiji-dono trusted me.

[andeatit]

The two of you must miss him, his brother. It's good that he's learned a bit of independence, but the reason is too extreme. [There are likely much better ways than to take him from his home world and deposit him in a place like Ryslig.

Admittedly, that wasn't the reason this happened.]

I have a younger sister of my own, and I do miss her.

[intercalaryninja]

I agree... [Too much... The fact that Reiji had been in Ryslig and he had died here too also makes Tsukikage uncomfortable. He had been told Reira was by his bedside when it happened.]

Ah, did you now? What was she like?
