H-hey, hold on a moment--!

[It had to be Zelos! Even from this distance, Tsuna could recognize him. He had a pretty distinctive profile, after all.

But if it was, then... why was he ignoring him? He heard him, didn't he...? Of course he had! If there was one thing he knew about Zelos, it was that he was always aware of his surroundings--]

Gyah--!

[He plummets face-first into the snow after getting distracted and tripping or slipping, quite possibly on some ice.]

A-ah! C..cold!

[He pushes himself out of the snow and grips himself tightly, teeth practically chattering.]

S-s-stupid... s-snow...

[wilder]

[Okay so that commotion makes even him have to stop to look over his shoulder. The display is enough to make him raise both his eyebrows in disbelief. Because...seriously kid? Seriously?]

[He stares for a moment, and if Tsuna catches sight of his face there's no mistake who it is. And maybe he even considers going back to check on the guy but- nope. Once his disbelief at the kid's fail subside, he turns to walk away again]

[not_mafia]

H-hey!

[Okay, that does it. Honestly, it's not like he was expecting a hug or anything, but Zelos usually at least would tease him, especially over something like that fall! Ignoring him like this was just cold...!

He manages to catch up to him, his arms still wrapped tightly around himself.]

I knew it, it is you! Why are you ignoring me?

[wilder]

[Annd the kid catches up to him. He's half inclined to swear under his breath. He really doesn't want to deal with this stuff on a good day, much less when he's surrounded by snow.]

[And so when he turns to look at Tsuna, he's a bit more curt than normal]

Sorry, do I know you?

[not_mafia]

[This had never happened to him before. He'd heard of it in Paradisa, where people returned but had forgotten everything... he'd heard of it, but it never happened to him personally.

So when it does, he doesn't really believe it at first, even though he suddenly gets this sinking feeling in his stomach.]

Wh...

[And then he looks angry.]

H-hey! That isn't funny!

[Any moment now, Zelos would break character and laugh, commenting on how he was still way too easy to rile up...]

[wilder]

[He gives a passive wave, not really phased by the kid's anger just because he's annoyed himself] Never said it was.

Afraid you got me mistaken for someone else. It happens a lot.

[not_mafia]

Eh?! But...

[There isn't any recognition in his eyes at all. The anger melts away to realization.]

You really... don't remember...

[wilder]

[He rolls his eyes a little at that phrasing. It annoyed him when people implied that he forgot something. As if, there was something wrong with him]

Probably more likely we just never met. Dimensions have a funny way of making things complicated.

[not_mafia]

O-oh, r-right.

[Well... now what? This Zelos didn't know him, and he could feel the judgmental gaze bearing down on him.]

S-s-sorry.

[He sneezes off to the side. Oh god, it's so cold. Surely he'll be a popsicle soon...]

[wilder]

[Well. At least this one isn't keeping up the argument. He always hated when that happened. So now he'll take a look at the kid is wearing and the fact he's turning into popsicle]

Don't you have any winter clothes?

[not_mafia]

N-not with me. I-I just got here a few days ago...

A-and I can't find the money exchange place...

[wilder]

[There's a pause as he stares down at the kid. Then he gives an annoyed huff and removes his scarf before he dumps it on the kids head.]

[Then he starts walking again.]

[not_mafia]

[Tsuna gives a small squawk when the scarf is dropped on him and brings his hands up to push the cloth out of his face.]

Ah--

[He turns towards Kaneis.]

H-hold on a second!

[wilder]

[He slows but doesn't turn around]

What.

[not_mafia]

Um...

[He stands kind of awkwardly. He's not going to stop the guy if he really doesn't want to bother with him...]

Th-thanks.

[wilder]

[....]

[He gives a sigh. Stop calling him on his tsunning niceness!]

Whatever. Just remember it goes around your neck.

[not_mafia]

Wh-- I know that!

[He hurriedly pulls the scarf off of his head and slings it around his neck. look at that experience!!]

[wilder]

[He turns his head to see enough out of one of his eyes. Wow what experience!]

Wow. Good for you.

[He gives a wave]

Later.

[And with that, he's leaving. Yeah. He knows he'll probably see this kid again. But he just was not in the mood to deal with his past in the middle of snow]
