Is this how it works? Ha! Got it!

Hey, this is the equivalent of getting in touch with the mighty Kumou Tenka - yours truly - if I'm otherwise busy. Tell me what you need and I'll get back to you as soon as possible! Talk to you soon.

[Oh good! It's nice to be remembered! E-even for questionable reasons.]

Ah... actually you know, I'm not sure how old Hinata-kun is. I'm not sure how old I am either. It's a little confusing actually, considering what happened on the island. And in Haven. And now here. [So many timelines he can't count.]

But probably definitely of legal age to drink if that's the question.

[Yes good bring the booze!]

[sunshrouded]

[ . . . . . . ]

Then that's a yes to booze.

But you guys should probably get it squared away how old you are...

[friendly piece of aniki advice there]

[unluckless]

Ah... mm! I suppose it is!

[Do it up, Tenka. But beware tiny yakuza with vendettas against rule breaking or whatever it may be.]

We really should, but it's very complicated unfortunately. I think I'm at least twenty. [Maybe older? Hmm.] I really should sit down and puzzle it out. Though either way, it's impressive.

[He should have been dead long before. Lucky break, of course.]

[sunshrouded]

[SO MUCH BOOZE but it's okay, Tenka's got the tiny yakuza under control. Maybe. Hopefully.]

Impressive to be.... 20?

[KOMAEDA, HE'S WORRIED ABOUT YOU NOW]

[unluckless]

Somewhat, considering a few things. The place I was before this, for one. And of course the fact that I was pretty sure I died. [And he may well still be in a coma way back where he actually belongs in the real world.

Then there's the whole terminal cancer and brain disease thing but that's another story.]

[sunshrouded]

[Well, if he's from the some place as Hinata - whether it was the weird island or Haven - Tenka knows what he's referring to. But.... there's no denying the surprise on his face at the last bit.]

H-Ha....? Died?!

[And he seems to struggle for a moment because he wants to continue to have this situation but over the phone is so impersonal and-- augh.]

Komaeda-kun, do you.... like tea?

[unluckless]

Mm! Though it's more complicated than that somehow.

[Life is so complicated. But there's something distracting about that next question. So he'll turn his attention to this.]

Of course! [He's Japanese. Wouldn't he have been asked politely to leave the country if he didn't.] I enjoy tea quite a bit.

[sunshrouded]

Great!

[And Tenka visibly relaxes at that before he tosses out an invitation so easily--]

Wanna come over and have some tea with aniki then?

[yes he means himself]

[unluckless]

Tea?

[Him? Really? He's being invited for tea. Komaeda just sounds plain surprised until, well, confusion.]

Aniki? [Isn't that a dangerously friendly term to use with someone like him? Does Tenka know what he's doing? Komaeda is bad news.]

That is to say, if you're sure you want to invite someone like me, tea sounds really nice.

[sunshrouded]

Are you questioning my judgment already....

[c'mon, komaeda!!! still though Tenka's just teasing. Even as he shrugs easily before he rattles off his address. Then it's followed easily enough with-]

Bring some snacks if you can! Aniki's hungry. If not though, that's fine too. I just wanna talk to you.

[unluckless]

Maybe a little! Though more than your judgment, maybe you're just not fully informed!

[About the sort of person that Komaeda is. But then oh. Hey okay. He'll bring snacks. He'll even buy something instead of making it so no one will wind up sick from it.]

I'll definitely bring snacks. Then... if now is good?

[sunshrouded]

Peko-chan said the same thing... We'll see.

[He's so certain of himself. Still though, he's just laughing faintly at that.]

Now is definitely good. I definitely want to know more about you, Komaeda-kun.
