[ Ah, Ichigo...don't worry! She'll be one of many who will repeat the names until they stick. Or until he comes up with a suitably ridiculous nickname for them. It's one of his endearing qualities, really.

Orihime nods, then remembers he can't really see that, can he? ]

Mhm. He's been here a while...I don't think anyone has been here longer than a year, though.

[ She thinks that's comforting, right? Although she also hasn't heard of anyone that's left and come back, or what happens really when they leave at all. So...who knows. She wants to be optimistic about it.

Oh! That sounds so scandalo--...or not. But, you know, there's never a bad time for snacks. She'll try not to make a mess. ]

They do seem to do a lot to try and accommodate us. I want to believe it's out of a genuine concern for our well-being.

[ Everyone's been very nice thus far. That has to bode well for something, right? ]

K-Kurosaki-kun...

[ Ah--yes. The social butterfly, Ichigo Kurosaki. She laughs a little awkwardly. ]

Well...we wouldn't want you to be without a place to stay. Um. [ Offering her room would be weird, wouldn't it? ] I've heard of some Heroes buying houses!

[ ...That he's got no money for! ]

...Not that that would be your only option! Of course...
