Cheshire cat, is what he should call this guy, really. With that grin and that sneaking in and out of places.

Were the mome raths outgrabing?

Buuut his comment set it his mind at ease-- a little, and he relaxed.

"Kanji's here?" There's some definite relief, even some cheerfulness that's evident in his voice now, "Yeah, I'm his senpai." Or going to be again, anyway.

So wait, if he knew that much...

Oi, Kanji, what have you been chatting about with this guy? Then again, if Kanji's let his guard down enough to be opened about their adventures... he must be trustworthy.

"Like I said... things were complicated. In the end it worked out, though."

Hopefully, this time it would too. This time he'd find the Truth.

"...So, I'm Souji Seta, and you go by...?"

Because he hadn't gotten a name out of this cat yet.
