Tsuna stayed still, crouched and squished as the nice man squeezed in beside him, gently running his smooth hand down the frightened younger man's back, the said man slowly leaning into the calming gesture.

"So this is where you've been, Kora!" A voice called out, making Tsuna jump at the sudden loudness in the room. He tensed, once again curling up into a himself like a small scared animal, like a scared bunny.

Reborn let out a hiss, wrapping his arms around the small brunet, pulling him protectively onto his lap. This movement causing the room to come to a stand still, every occupant staring on in perplexity and levity, the former being shown by most. The calm man took this time to slowly ease the smaller male from Reborn's strong grasp, muttering to him about giving the boy some tea to call him down. Hesitantly, the raven let go, leaning in to breath in Tsuna's unique scent. With Tsuna being free from his grasp, Fon gently scooped the man up, smiling gently to him as he felt the man slowly wrap his arms around his neck. It wasn't long before the questions were fired at Reborn, Reborn himslef feeling a little perplex as question after question was fired at him, which was unusual for the raven which brought more questions to be brought upon him.

Tsuna felt safe in this man's arms. He felt as if this man would never lay a hand on him, never hurt him. He felt like Reborn, except without they constant strong grip he held into him with, even in the reptilian form. He sighed inwardly as he was placed on a customer chair, feeling his back lean against the frame as the man that carries him knealt before him, placing a gentle hand in his knee, "Would you like some tea?"

Tsuna hesitated, unsure where it was okay to have it. He thought for a moment, sitting extremely still before nodding gently, making the older man smile, "Oolong? Or would you like plain sweetened tea?"

Tsuna sat still, thinking to himself, unsure on whether he was allowed to speak, you know, just incase he would be yelled at, or worse, beaten. He wrapped his arms around his chest before staring up to the older man with large doe-like eyes, giving him a miniscule smile that caused the man's heart to flutter, "O-Oolong p-please..."

The elder smiled, standing up and pouring some water, that was previously boiled for breakfast, and placed in the teabag, allowling it to twirl as he stirred the liquid, watching as the two mixed. After two minutes of silence, he decided to speak up, believing that the silence would only make things worse as they could hear all the questions that the others, minus two who has joined them in the kitchen, ask the poor vulnerable Reborn, despite not actually being vulnerable, just abandoned.

"My name's Fon, I'm a friend of Reborn's. He's been disappearing as off lately and the others were curious and worried. What's your name?" The elder, now know as Fon, said as he passed the small brunet the cup, making sure the younger didn't burn himself. He doubted that Reborn would be happy if the younger male was burnt.

"M-My name's Tsunayoshi," he took a short sip from his tea, smiling nostalgically at the taste, "but call me Tsuna as my name's a bit of a mouthful... It's nice to meet you Fon."

Fon smiled as the man said his name, the sound foreign to him as no-one other than her or his comrades had said it, ever. He liked it. He sat down in front off Tsuna, sipping on the oolong tea he had made for himself, gently tapping the table. As he tapped, he turned to look at the two before him giving them a small smile as he took another sip of his tea. He turned to Tsuna, watching as the younger male's gaze was glued to his finger that continued to tap the table in a smooth rythym. He turns his face to the doorway to see Reborn standing there, a strange look in his eyes as he poured himself an espresso, joining the four at the table. The five day in silence, the four elders giving each others a look as a loud whistle echoed throughout the land, causing them all to jump.
