Somehow, it was what everyone told him. If they thought they complained a lot, he didn’t think so and couldn’t even start to think how they’d react if he really started whining. “I did say I came here to study. They do let me assist on occasions, and I can do some recruiting so I don’t complain. Not too loudly at least,” Kentaro said with a shrug before flashing her a smile. What bothered him more in this was the lack of action. It was not the idea they did not trust him, he never thought that. He just needed to have something to do.
He had a light chuckle at her reply. It was pretty philosophical indeed, almost making him wonder if she did not go for such answers because she wasn’t really interested in talking to him. But she sort of apologized for the way it sounded and that was what made him laugh. “Good, because I don’t know if I can follow you should the conversation take that turn. I’m not very good with philosophy. Or rhetoric.”
There was a price to pay for coming from a different culture it seemed. Kentaro had his choice for food questioned. But fish for breakfast made perfect sense to him. Wasn’t breakfast supposed to be the most important meal of the day? “I can’t say I get them a lot either but it is funny how strongly they can react. They don’t stop you but they don’t get it either.” To Kentaro, he found it less strange to ask for honey as sweetener than have a heavy dinner. Then there was the thing with the name and he had an amused smirk at it. “I do. But I’m used to it. At home, I was even called Kenken. But it sounds weird when they say it,” he admitted, his eyes narrowing a little as he reminisce on the first time he told that to someone. He got that nickname during childhood, which probably explained it and why they didn’t want to use it, finding it too awkward. “They also hate my last name. Find it a mouthful. They usually go for Kogiri and that’s weird too because I’m used to people saying Itonoko. But I’m getting used to it. I find it funny they can’t say you’re name right though. Doesn’t sound that hard to pronounce right.” Ashley and Asli sounded different to him, even if her name almost sounded like Asuli the way he said it. Still different from Ashley though.
