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.

[Reincarnation? Tenka didn't really believe in that sort of thing but if it's really true in her world.... well, if the city was already in peril, he supposes he can understand. But at the same time, to think that the small girl in front of him had dealt with such gruesome things....]

.... Lily-chan, I understand.

But can Ten-nii ask you to do something? Can you do Ten-nii a favor?

[It was an all too real cycle for the little Baskerville, people left out were said to suffer...Lottie said that at least. She didn't know all of the details but she heard enough sometimes.]

...You understand?

[No gun shot to the head?

Lily looks a little confused before she speaks.]

M-Mn...okay?

I promise I understand so I'm not going to be mad.

But... here, the 100 year cycle probably doesn't affect things - I think it's something that strictly happens in your home, in your world. [He'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume that really was the reason.] But if you kill people here, then it won't be a good thing. They'll lose their friends and family and people are gonna be sad.

So if Ten-nii promises that he'll take care of you and he'll beat up all the mean people, can you promise that you won't kill anyone here?

...

[Lily is still a little confused about why he's doing this but after a few moments she nods.]

I wouldn't kill someone for no reason here, Ten-nii... [Unless she was told to by Master Glen. However she does take in what he says...]

I don't want to make people sad...

[A pause.]

...I promise.

I know, Lily-chan. You're a sweet girl and I believe you!

[ . . . . ]

But killing anybody makes Ten-nii really sad. So I just wanted to make sure. Sometimes people get misled, but I want you to know that I think you're stronger than that.

Ten-nii...

[Lily looks happy that he believes her but then he said 'misled'.]

Master Glen didn't mislead me! He wouldn't do it without a good reason, it's horrible being turned into a chain!

[She's just a tad defensive about her Master, Tenka.]

[ . . . . . for a moment, he pauses. He doesn't know Glen and Tenka doesn't doubt being turned into a chain - a monster, is awful. If there truly is a hundred year cycle of reincarnation, those people really were better off being killed.

Except the phrase 'better off dead' doesn't resonate with Tenka at all. Not until he'll speak to the man himself.

So for now he just nods placatingly.]

I know, Lily-chan. I didn't say anything about your master, did I?

But you know other people who kill, right? People who are genuinely dangerous and think they have to do it in order to survive. I just never want you to have to deal with people like that.

No...you didn't.

[Lily feels kind of bad for snapping at Tenka now. He didn't say anything about her Master and she feels her eyes watering up a little.]

M-Mn, I do. Okay, Ten-nii...I'm sorry I raised my voice.

[She seems really upset with herself about it.]

[That much manages to get him to chuckle faintly and he shakes his head, still understanding.]

It's okay, Lily-chan! I thought it was impressive!!

[And then he takes in a big breath and he's just doing this to make her laugh now-]

I can do it too!! -- but I think you can do it better than me.

[The chuckle makes her feel a little bit better, more so when he's impressed.]

You are?

[With his raised voice she jumps a little before she grins back with a small laugh.]

Ten-nii, I can yell really loud too!

Really? Prove it!!

[She's distracted and he's laughing and he's feeling much better than when she was about to cry.]

I CAN DO IT!

[Forbid if Vincent is home though.]

See, See!!

I see, I see! And I hear too!!

[That much manages to make him laugh in response then, loud and bright.]

That's my amazing girl!

[No more sign of tears now.]

Hey Ten-nii, you must have a lot of friends! I'm glad I'm one of your friends too!

[That just gets him to nod in response, laughing a bit more.]

Your Ten-nii's pretty popular, it's true!!

But you're more than just my friend, Lily-chan - you're my family here, okay?

You are!

[Lily feels happiness welling inside of her again.]

Mn! I understand!

[He was one of the people that have really made her feel extremely welcome here, even when he heard she's killed.]

[That just makes him chuckle faintly.]

One of these days you'll meet the rest of my family, alright? We can have dinner together! My little brother's a great cook!!

Really?! I want to meet them all! You sit down to meals together?

[She's curious the Baskerville manor was kind of large for that...]

We do, we do! Everyone who lives in the apartment comes to the table and we eat together. I steal my partner's food and Soramaru yells at me and Nishiki-chan looks confused but-

[He snickers, still perfectly pleased.]

But we have fun. And I think that's what's great.

...

[Lily looks excited yet a little curious what that all much be like.]

We've never done anything like that.

[He just chuckles at that, nodding.]

Well, you'll come over to my house and see what it's like sometime, okay? You're always welcome.

I wanna come over then! It sounds like lots of fun!

[She is practically jumping around her room.]

Vincent doesn't like to be bothered a lot so I normally eat alone!

[Ah, he's really not getting to be fond of this Vincent guy. So Tenka just shakes his head faintly at that.]

You're definitely welcome to come over whenever you want, Lily-chan. We'd be happy to have you.

[Lily just smiles.]

I want to! Thank you, Ten-nii!
