What did you do that for?! This was way more important than some stupid dare!

As you wish.

Also, though only slightly related, there has been quite the accumulation of rocks on the front lawn. Would you approve of representatives from our residence and ones from the treehouse taking some time to clean it up, with the two groups alternating weeks? Ikki has already agreed on the Kogarasumaru's behalf, and Gokudera has said he will volunteer.

[theskyisfailing]

Sure! I mean, it's only fair we split the work, right?

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought. It is, after all, a space we both share.

[theskyisfailing]

I'll help too of course. We'll just have to work out the schedule then.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

If we were to take this week, and Kogarasumaru to take the next, we can simply continue to trade off after that.

[theskyisfailing]

*nods* Was there anything else you wanted to ask me?

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

No, that was all. It was good to see you, Tsuna.

[theskyisfailing]

We should talk more. I haven't gotten much of a chance to get to know you since you moved in. Gokudera-kun seems to like you. That's kinda amazing.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

I would certainly not mind that.

And yes, I've noticed that a disproportionate number of people do not seem fond of him, nor he them. I do not understand it, myself; he is not that difficult to get along with.

[theskyisfailing]

He doesn't care about getting along with people.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

That is a good way of putting it. However, compared to some of those I have worked with, he's still quite amicable.

He speaks highly of you.

[theskyisfailing]

Too highly, maybe. I'm not all that great.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

No. But part, I think, of understanding him is realizing the key role you play in his life -- for all that it may not be the easiest role for you to fill, you are important to him.

[theskyisfailing]

I'm glad I'm important to him, he's my friend. I'm just not used to all the praise and such, is all.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

Have you two known each other for long?

[theskyisfailing]

Not really, no.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

That may be part of it. Give him some time; there is a good chance that he will become at least a bit more relaxed.

[theskyisfailing]

How did you get so smart?

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

Time, for the most part, and experience. It helps that the workings of the heart are nothing new to me.

[theskyisfailing]

If you ever feel like selling some of that intelligence, let me know.

[cloakanddaikon.livejournal.com]

I do not know of any world that allows such things to work like that.

However, if you have problems or questions, I will offer what answers and advice I can.
