He has one too after his piece of chicken and then he returns to the chicken. "I think probably we should find sheets, and get them on the beds, and then you can have my bed I guess, in case Ren comes home in the middle of the night, she'd be alarmed to find you in her bed but not so much to find me in it."

Kennedy mentally stores this information about how parents work.  "Okay.  Thank you for getting the food; I like how it tastes."

Permalink

"Oh good." When he's had enough chicken and onigiri he breaks open the Kit Kats.

Permalink

She's eating pretty ponderously; it takes her a while to even try any chicken.  "What's your name?"

Permalink

"Ha- uh - S- uh. If you are doing surname first like is normal in Japan, I'm Swan Masaharu."

Permalink

"...So I should call you Master Swan?"

Permalink

"That would be a really weird thing to do. People call me Haru mostly. I don't know yet how hard it will be to get Japanese people to do that because Haru isn't a Japanese name, it's just short for one, and I don't know quite how strange it will sound to them, but you're not Japanese."

Permalink

"I will call you Haru if you want."

Permalink

"Thanks." He considers the Kit Kats and unwraps a fourth one.

Permalink

...Kennedy will try a bite of one also?  - WOW that's sweet.  She - sets the rest of it back down.  With some willpower.

Permalink

"Do you not like Kit Kats or is it just this kind?"

Permalink

"Umm.  I think I am not supposed to have things that have that much dessert in one bite.  So I don't get sick."

Permalink

"Is that one of the things you're allergic to?"

Permalink

"...No, I think this is true for everyone.  But maybe my adults care more about me getting sick than other children's adults."

Permalink

"I might get a little sick if I ate the whole bag at once."

Permalink

"Okay, well, you can do that if you want."

She tries a bite of chicken and finds it pretty greasy, but she'll at least finish the piece.  Maybe even have another later.

Permalink

"After the sheets I should do some studying, I need to be better at Japanese than I am right now before school starts. If you're going to be bored we can unpack some books."

Permalink

"I would like that.  ...I don't know if I will be able to sleep very soon, since it was lunchtime for me."

Permalink

"I'm adjusting to the time zone too. Ren says the thing to do is just to try to get as close as you can to a normal local bedtime and lie there awake and bored till you fall asleep if you have to. I will probably go to bed in about..." He looks at the time on his phone. "Four or five hours, and then try to go to bed a bit earlier tomorrow."

Permalink

"I suppose that will only feel.... seven or eight hours early..."

Permalink

"You can sit up with a book if you want, it'll just slow you down on the adjustment." Shrug. He starts examining boxes and looking up kanji on his phone as he does so.

Permalink

She picks through another rice ball and conspicuously doesn't look at his phone.

Permalink

That's literally not conspicuous at all.

Eventually he finds the sheets. He gives her one (blue plaid) and says it's for his bed, and then goes to put a different one (pink and purple tie dye) on his mother's bed.

Permalink

...She'll try!  Can she get the boxes off without dropping them, is the first question.

Permalink

Maybe! There's one full of books and another one with clothes.
