*On the island, or in Domino, pretty much at about right after sunset, you'll find this kid wandering about.

He looks like he's trying to take in the scenery of each of the respective places, but he's still wearing that too-warm outfit for this weather. You'd probably almost miss him if he wasn't so pale, it's almost luminescent.

Obviously you should be bugging him.*

*...that would be very true!*

Oh, we're not different ranks. The one I'm wearing is technically for senior students, like people in their second and third years. I'm only wearing this design because I came here earlier than most other new students and they didn't have any of the regular jackets at that time for me, so they gave me this one.

They had plenty of the senior jackets because not many people stay in Osiris Red for their second and third years.

[monochromaticdays]

Huhhh... I guess that kinda makes sense. *sips at his water a bit more*

I was sorta wondering at least. You said you were a second year in Osiris Red, right, Yuma?

[kattobingore]

Yup! I am!!

[monochromaticdays]

*... wonder why Yuma hasn't moved up then, if it's more common for them to do so by now? Hmmm. Be probably rude to ask. Think of another topic.*

... I've kinda noticed as well. You both have pendants, do you? I know it looks like you got yours from your parents, Yuma, but what about you, Yuya? It's really unique looking, too.

[pendulum_soul]

*Yuya holds up the pendant and looks at it.*

I've had it for as long as I can remember. I'm sure my dad gave me mine too, but maybe I was too young to remember him actually giving it to me.

[monochromaticdays]

So you both got your pendants from your parents? That's nice, at least. At least if you're apart from them while you're here, you have something to remind you of them.

*That, and... he can sorta tell those pendants are more than just unique looking. It seems like Yuma's at least is basically made of gold, far as he can tell from looking.*

*Yuma and Yuya seem to exchange glances, giving each other a brief smile, that seems to have a hint of slight sadness to it. Yuma then grinned and replied in his usual energetic way.*

Ah! No matter where we are or what we're doing these pendants will always represent the support of our parents!!
Right, Yuya?

(2/2)

[pendulum_soul]

*Yuya pauses, but then nods.*

Yeah, of course!

*And yes, these pendants certainly do look like they are made out of proper materials. Yuma's definitely looks like it's made out of gold, while Yuya's looks like it's made from a real crystal with the decoration at the top and the wings surrounding it looking like silver.
Honestly, these things look like they would sell for loads.*

[monochromaticdays]

*it does make him... a little concerned.*

Though... are you sure you should have them out in the open like that? I know you're probably used to having them out, but you should be a little careful. People might look at them and think they're good to steal.

[kattobingore]

*The two boys exchange glances, then look at Hitoshi. It's like they've never even considered that before.*

Haaah? Why would anyone try to steal them?
Besides, they'd be a little more difficult to take while they're with us!!

[monochromaticdays]

Do you never take them off?

[pendulum_soul]

Well... at night sometimes when we're sleeping, but the rest of the time we keep them on us.

[monochromaticdays]

You should still at least be careful. I know you... probably wouldn't want to mistrust people, but if something is important to you, you should make sure you always know where it is, if you can.

Especially when things are made of stuff like silver and gold.

[kattobingore]

*Yuya looks at his pendant, as if contemplating what Hitoshi has said, but Yuma just grins confidently.*

Ah, c'mon! I'm sure nobody here would try and steal them!!

*Yuma appears to be the more trusting one of the two boys.*

[monochromaticdays]

... You're very trusting, Yuma. Though I guess as long as you're confident that it won't get stolen, that's what you can do.

*though it at least looks like Yuya is thinking about it. maybe he's a little more level-headed between the two.*

[pendulum_soul]

*Yuya smiles and looks over at Hitoshi.*

As long as we keep them with us, it'll be fine, I'm sure!

[monochromaticdays]

If you're sure. ... *adjusts his hat a bit to lower it a little* Sorry, if it weirds you out, at least. I'm just... I'd rather not see you guys deal with that kinda thing, and that sorta stuff tends to be a target.

[pendulum_soul]

Why would it weird us out? I'm grateful that you're concerned, but you don't need to be. I've worn this pendant for as long as I can remember and I've never had an issue.

Sure I... accidentally lost it a few times as a kid, but I always found it again.

[monochromaticdays]

*... that both concerns and makes him wonder, but he keeps it quiet, drinking his water.*

Well, as long as you're sure you'll never lose it. That's what counts, I guess.

[kattobingore]

Ah, you worry too much, bud!

*He pats Hitoshi on the shoulder.*

Yuya and I will be fine! Our pendants are super important to us so we'd never let anyone take them if they tried!

[monochromaticdays]

*he sorta tenses up at the patting, but he lets it pass*

I guess so. At the least, I imagine you'd probably never rest if someone did it, anyway.

[kattobingore]

Exactly!!
Anyone tries to mess with our pendants, then they have to mess with us!!

[monochromaticdays]

That's assuring, I guess.

*he shakes his head though* Sorry, though. I brought up something really serious.

[kattobingore]

Ah, it's nothing, bud! Don't worry about it!

[monochromaticdays]

Mm. *... finishes his water*

I shouldn't impose too much, should I?
