[it is business as usual for Dino in Japan, though he's not in the usual parts of Japan he visits. Business has brought him to areas that are a little more metropolitan than he's used to, but he doesn't mind it so much, not when he's walking with a few of his men down the street after a successful meeting.

The people running around on fancy rollerblades is a new thing though.]

Hahaah, you guys think we missed out on some new trend?

	[there's a moment's pause as something clicks into place in Dino's head, that faint inkling of an idea that might explain why Kazu's reactions are the way they are] Hey, did we...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[the way Kazu's face goes red and he starts tugging at his beanie is really all the answer Dino needs, which is good, because kazu can't seem to get it out] W... We... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[this? Is an arm around Kazu's shoulder and a not-as-giant-as-before-but-still-pretty-damn-tall Italian man leaning against him] Became really good friends, right? Haha, jeez, you don't have to be shy about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	--Yeah totally. [sags in mingled relief and disappointment, resisting the instinctual urge to nuzzle against Dino] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[he can feel that sag of Kazu's body under his arm, which is one of the reasons why he's drawing his arm away just in case he overstepped a boundary somewhere, offering the younger teen a weak smile] I guess this is kinda unfair to you though. You and I've got history that I can't even remember. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_turningtr279 2010-02-09 04:56 am UTC (link)
	Er. S'not your fault, don't worry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uncoiledwhip 2010-02-09 04:58 am UTC (link)
	Maybe not, but I'd like to make it up to you. For future me too. Hey, how about a name to start with? To get us both on familiar ground. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[shit shit shit. This was, unquestionably, Dino. Shit.] ... Mikura Kazu. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uncoiledwhip 2010-02-09 05:10 am UTC (link)
	That makes you... Kazu then, right? Would you mind if I called you that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_turningtr279 2010-02-09 05:17 am UTC (link)
	Uh, sure. Everyone does. ... Can I call you Dino? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uncoiledwhip 2010-02-09 05:21 am UTC (link)
	[\|D nudges] You already do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_turningtr279 2010-02-09 05:35 am UTC (link)
	--Uh right, sorry. Habit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uncoiledwhip 2010-02-09 05:47 am UTC (link)
	[laughing and hooking his arm around Kazu again] Hey, don't worry about it. We're friends in the future and I've got a feeling we'll be ones now. [gives a glance over] I've got pretty good taste in people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_turningtr279 2010-02-09 05:49 am UTC (link)
	[aaack it's so weird to have this guy who is Dino but not Dino touching him] Oh, hey, do you have Enzio? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uncoiledwhip 2010-02-09 05:51 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, he's right here. You knew him too, huh? [delves into his jacket pocket and pulls out Enzio, holding him out to Kazu] I don't think he'll remember you either though, not if you're from our future. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_turningtr279 2010-02-09 05:53 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, Enzio helped up out of a tight spot [pauses, blushing, and quickly switches] And tried to eat my foot a couple of times. [scritches the turtle.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uncoiledwhip 2010-02-09 05:55 am UTC (link)
	[laughs, letting the turtle crawl his way onto Kazu's shoulder] That sounds about right for him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_turningtr279 2010-02-09 05:57 am UTC (link)
	--Whoa, hey! You better not try to eat anything up there, Enzio! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uncoiledwhip 2010-02-09 05:59 am UTC (link)
	Hey, don't worry about it. He's been fed recently. Anyway, I take it you live around this area? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_turningtr279 2010-02-09 06:32 am UTC (link)
	Yeah... what are you doing in Japan, anyway? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uncoiledwhip 2010-02-09 06:37 am UTC (link)
	[here is where Dino isn't sure just how close they were as friends] Haah... Business? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_turningtr279 2010-02-09 06:38 am UTC (link)
	... It's cool, I know about your job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uncoiledwhip 2010-02-09 07:16 am UTC (link)
	Haah, sorry, I wasn't sure. But yeah, that's why I'm here. I've got a meeting with a Japanese family about trade routes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_turningtr279 2010-02-09 07:18 am UTC (link)
	[shrugs, shoving his hands awkwardly into his pockets] Uh, well, hey, if you need help finding some place--this is my town. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uncoiledwhip 2010-02-09 07:31 am UTC (link)
	Thanks, Kazu. I'll make sure to drop by the next time I'm in the country. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
