I know that they said we can't go back to our worlds, but is there any way to contact them?

I left at a bad time.

[Action; At the Welcome Feast]

[Tsuna sits at one of the long tables, pushing food around on his plate but not really eating it. He doesn't seem to have much of an appetite. He sort of feels like everything is all over the place and his mind is in a million different places. Part of him is amazed at wear he is and occasionally he glances around to take in the detail. Another part of him is taking in the crowd, trying to search for familiar faces and friends, and keep track of Gokudera. The final part of him pulls his attention down to his plate in the knowledge that he should eat but can't.

He's worried about what he left behind, who he left behind, if it's going to be okay that he's here and not there. It's a welling pit of worry in his stomach that makes it hard to enjoy his meal. He keeps checking his phone for what he hopes will be a positive response.]

What am I supposed to do?

[Gokudera looks touched that his boss thinks of him, so he smiles and nods,]

I’ll do my best, boss.

[He honestly will try, but he anticipates it won’t be easy to catch sleep, and if he does, because this place is unfamiliar and he’s not aware of what sort of dangers they can encounter, it will be fitful and light at best. Here’s hoping, though.]

Good night then. I'll get us a room at the inn and text you the number.

Okay. I'll turn in shortly...

[Habitually, he wants to follow him to the inn and make sure he gets in safe, isn't targeted by anyone unsavory. Then it occurs to him... he met someone who already seemed to know him...]

Wait! Uh... Tenth, would you mind if I accompanied you there? It might make things easier, and I can help keep a look out.

[Tsuna turns and smiles at Gokudera]

Not at all! It'll definitely make things easier and you won't have to worry if I fall asleep or something.

[He assumes they'll have keys and the like, and the last thing he'd want is for Gokudera to be locked out. Even though he has becoming something a light sleeper of late.]</small.

[Gokudera smiles right back, apology still evident in his eyes at his sudden change of heart about accompanying his boss. He feels like a nuisance to him to a small degree, and bows his head slightly while listening.]

Oh, I wouldn't worry if you fell asleep as long as you're safe, Tenth! In the worst case, I'd just get my own key by other means!

[He'd harass someone or prove himself as the Tenth's right hand, so therefore, for his boss's safety and benefit, having familiar company is safest and almost completely necessary! While smiling, he motions for his boss to walk alongside him so they can go together to get their room situation sorted out.]

[Tsuna falls in step with Gokudera. As weird as everything has been, he's glad this can at least be normal.]</small. At least this way, we'll have it all figured out with no problems. But we'll probably have to find jobs or something, won't we? We can't just stay for free.

Eventually, yeah. For now I think we’re welcome guests. Why else would they set up such a large feast? Hopefully if we take on any quests, we can get paid enough that it won’t seem we’re taking advantage of their hospitality.

[They are young and the locals seem fairly lax with them, and Gokudera knows how to survive on his own.]

I’ll help keep a roof over your head if that’s something you’re worried about, boss.

I mean, a little? I don't want to overstay our welcome, so I'll make sure to help out to.

[Working together tends to make things go better for them anyway.]

So we'll each do our part. It's settled, then.

[Gokudera nods. If he focuses on his part, it'll be much easier. If he gets too focused on helping his boss out, then he tends to get carried away and make matters worse.]

Guess so.

[And if nothing else, Tsuna brightens a little, or at least, he seems to feel a little more confident.]
