Hey, I'm the older one. Shouldn't I be trying to protect you?
[ just. gently teasing before rin continues, and hits him right in the most sore spot of his heart. ]
...Hah... I don't like being alone.
[ hated it, really. even when it was by his own choice, it was more a consequence of having vastly different interests than those his own age than something he actively wanted. ]
You're the older one, but I'm the stronger one! It's not just about old and young, you know!
[Despite his words, he's smiling, just a little bit. Rin might not be smart, but he cares, and he knows that opening his heart to others is the way to help them.]
Then I'll come back later tonight, and I'll stay with you until we're forced out tomorrow. I don't know when they'll force me out, but you won't be alone a moment longer than you have to be, you hear?
[Probably. He has five adults T-posing around him any time he does something stupid, so.]
Sweet, but not sticky. Coming right up!
[Well. Not immediately. He does give Kazu a couple hours to have conversations with others first. He'll respect that privacy. But when it's really late at night he'll be coming back with a plate of cookies, some milk, and a couple big coats from the costume closet.]

He lets go of Kazu, but he doesn't go to move away yet.]
You still gotta tell me what you want me to get for you, yeah? So I can bring it back with me later.

My favorite food is sweets, but honestly, as long as it's not something sticky, I won't say no.
