[The feed flickers on to reveal a small young man, still dressed in an oversized, plain grey tee-shirt and grey-green-white flannel sleep pants. He's shuffling rather loudly through the small kitchen with a definite look of annoyance on his face.

There are also several glossy magazines in his hand as he drops them on the counter in front of the NV

[He... recognizes some of them. Maybe. He was pretty sure he'd seen Frau with those.]

Ain't that Frau's place?

[Video]

[found_my_light]

It is.

[A beat as he pulls another out from behind a tea canister.]

Why? Are you the one he's getting this crap from?

[Video]

[southernreaper]

[A snort.]

Doubt Frau needs me t'give him anythin'. Jus' didn't know he'd gained a room mate.

[That's Kevin's polite way of asking what the hell you're doing there. Frau's one person Kevin will get protective over.... weirdly enough.]

[Video]

[found_my_light]

[That earns an echoing snort.]

More like a cell-mate.

[That has Teito glancing around quickly, just in case Frau was near, before leaning in closer to the NV and dropping his latest find with the others.

Because while Teito doesn't remember him, or the bond they'd shared, he does know that Frau's the only one here in this place from their world. It's enough to stir his own protective instincts, if only a bit, just to test this person.]

Why... are you a friend of his? Or are you a bishop too?

[Video]

[southernreaper]

[Kevin's green eyes harden and he folds gloved hands in front of his mouth. Cells aren't joking matters to him.]

We's friends. He helped me out a while back. An' eats when I try makin' somethin' new.

[Kevin likes Frau.]

M'name's Kevin.

[Video]

[found_my_light]

[They aren't for Teito either. In fact, he's quite serious given the fact that he's not allowed to leave without Frau - the guy even seals the door and windows with zaiphon when he sleeps. Which is why he doesn't bat a lash at the sudden shift in expression from Kevin. He's had worse directed at him.]

Teito.

...does he do that often? Help people, I mean.

[Because that does sound more like something a Bishop would do.]

[Video]

[southernreaper]

[Considering going back into a cell is a very real possibility for Kevin, he has a huge amount of issues.]

Dunno 'bout others. But he's nice enough t'me.

[Video]

[found_my_light]

And being nice is an acceptable excuse for hiding porn all over the place?

[He's not seeing the connection there, really.]

[Video]

[southernreaper]

No, but it is a reason t'mind m'own business an' not go rootin' through his stuff.

[HINT.]

[Video]

[found_my_light]

One was under my toothbrush. And between the cereal boxes.

[This clearly explains everything right? He's not rooting for it at all - it's just everywhere.]

[Video]

[southernreaper]

Yeah, but ya just goin' through everywhere now. LEave 'em alone. He's probably got his reasons.

[Video]

[found_my_light]

[A blink, and then he just turns away from the NV, back towards his cereal.]

You're not in my chain of command, therefore your order isn't valid.

[Video]

[southernreaper]

Huh?

[Video]

[found_my_light]

Your command to 'Leave 'em alone' isn't a valid command, since you're not in my chain of command. Therefore, I don't have to follow it.

[Stated matter-of-factly as he picks up his cereal bowl and takes a quick bite ... of dry oatmeal.]

[Video]

[southernreaper]

[Kevin looks a little nauseous.]

Ain't ya gonna cook tha'?

[Video]

[found_my_light]

...Why?

[He glances down at the bowl, then back at the NV, only mildly curious. He's not used to getting his own food, at all. He'd be happier with protein pills and vitamins.]

Isn't it cereal too?
