Maybe you just haven't met the right dogs. Just like I hadn't met the right adults before coming here. Just because some of them are bad doesn't mean they all are.
Horses?
Did... you... ride one?
[This is curious.]

[Just going to laugh at the mental images. And cough because he's congested but this is so funny.]
Pet the dog Chrono.
[Pulling on his arm. Come on. Do it for the itchy angel.]

[Watches Chrono successfully pet the pup... It's so cute. It cures every disease...
Nah just kidding he's still allergic as fuck to everything.]

They're so nice to pet. Especially after everything that happened. That's why I couldn't leave.
[And these pups might invite you to tea which is even cuter. He hums thoughtfully. He feels happy but still wrung out from the weekend if he thinks about it too hard.]
Chrono... before, I held your hand. It was warm and I was happy you let me keep you near. Do you think we could... hold hands again?

That's fair. Animals are supposed to be calming. The shop cats are like that for me.
[ he loves those little rascals so much
the question catches him a little off-guard. it's much shyer than what he's used to from kaworu, but... that might be a good thing?
in any case, he offers his hand nigh immediately. ]
Yeah, 'course we can. It... makes me happy too, y'know, knowing you trust me.

[Takes it immediately, twining his fingers firmly with the other boy's. Chrono's hand is still warm and Kaworu squeezes it slightly to just to appreciate that it's there. Then he lets their hands drop so they're resting on his knee.]
Do you miss them? The cats?
Do you miss them? The cats?
Tell me more about the shop.
[Just going to lean his head against Chrono's shoulder, enjoying the closeness.]

[ he'll shift their hands a bit, a slightly more comfortable hold, and lean against kaworu a little back. he's cautious though, given how much smaller kaworu is. ]
You wanna know? Okay... [ hmmm. ] Well, it's just called Card Capital 2. It's where I met my friends for the first time. When I became old enough to have a part-time job, I asked if they'd hire me, and the owner gave me a few trial jobs which I passed. There's cabinets for customers to browse, and I spend a lot of time teaching new players. It's nice.

Huh. A part time job. So you sell cards and go to school? And teach people to play a game you love?
[That sounds like a nice life. He'd never thought of something like that before. It was too mundane.]

...What are your friends like?
[Could he be friends with Chrono's friends? Could he have friends outside of heaven? Or would it just be a repeat of everything that went wrong in Tokyo-III]

They're the best.
[ it's said so earnestly, with such a wistful smile. god he misses them all so much. ]
I actually don't make friends easily. We were shoved together at first - Shion and Tokoha and me. It took a long time for us to warm up to each other, but when things started to go wrong, they stuck with me even though they didn't have to.

That's hard to imagine about you.
[he would have imagined Chrono with so many friends. He seems so friendly and kind-hearted. Someone who says the right thing instead of the wrong thing.]
You must miss them.

Every day. [ his grip on their handhold tightens briefly. ] But even before... this, I was missin' them. Tokoha moved abroad, and Shion's always busy.
[ a sigh. they still talk, nearly every day. but it's not the same. ]
But I have Kazuma, as long as he'll put up with me. Which he seems to do, for some reason, even though I annoy the hell out of him for sure. [ ...ah ] Sorry, this turned into a bit of a speech.

No. It's nice, I always wondered what having friends would be like. I never thought about what it would be like to lose them or not be able to see them.
