[ - well that's unexpected. Baren blinks, because there's only one person who would bother to address him as Baren Kumou. He wonders what the letter could hold. He also wonders if there's any way that he could lie his way out of this and still get the letter.
[ - Baren still goes to school after all? ... well, sometimes he does. he's probably more familiar with the art department than most others and he'll head for the coffee shop, hands in his pockets up until he catches sight of Yusuke and manages a wave.]
[ . . . . "Thanks" probably? How to translate for Baren - but he'll take the letter and open it just to read it briefly. He seems to skim over the kanji and then.
Methodically wanders over to the closest trash can outside, taking out his lighter and burning it. Once the flames are small enough and the letter has disappeared enough, he lets the remains drop in the trash can silently.]
You shouldn't have had to go through that trouble for that trash.
[that's it
that's all he'll say about it
there's a "sorry" wrapped in there somewhere if you squint]
[ Oh. OH, that definitely is a Tanook. Don't mind Yusuke, he's just leaning slightly to get a better look at Baren's little friend. Hello little Tanuki friend. ]
... Mm.
Well, hopefully we won't have to deal with another backlog of post like this, so you should be able to monitor your mail easier.
[ Hm. This looks like a very well behaved friend of Baren's. Maybe he would stay still long enough for Yusuke to sketch him... ]
but tanuki will blink slowly at yusuke before sneezing at him. animals are gross. but also that's his way of saying hello. he sniffs back in yusuke's direction after that....]
It doesn't really matter. I miss traveling but otherwise this city has just about everything I need.
[Tanuki is super cute. He'll keep observing Yusuke quietly after that. He's content where he is for the moment, but he's okay with new friends if they're helpful to his Kumou.

Yo.

Hello.
[ He rummages in his bag and holds out the letter to Baren. ]
I believe this is yours.

Yusuke stares at the burning remains of the paper, and then up at Baren. ]
I'm beginning to see a theme between letters I find with real names on and their inevitable destruction.
[ Why are you and Sanji like this, Baren? ]
no subject
. . . and then it's gone, like a trick of the light as Baren tilts his head.]
That's not my real name. Let's not get confused on the matter, Picasso?
no subject
[ Let’s get the important stuff out of the way. ]
Alright - alternate names then. If you did not want it, I could have disposed of it for you.

[just sayin]
What, make you my errand boy? I'd rather not. It was worth taking a look what might've been inside, but it was ultimately shit in the end.
no subject
[ ... ]
Technically I have already played the role of errand boy. That seems like a pointless reasoning.
no subject
[yeah more or less]
no subject
At least it’s not sticking out of shubbery anymore. If I come across any more I will save you the journey if you wish, and destroy them on sight.
no subject
Nah, just let me know. I don't mind taking a walk every now and then. Tanuki needs exercise.
[that means nothing when he rides on your shoulder, baren]
Don't expect anything else, so it's not a big deal.

It’s okay tanuki friend. The sneeze was kinda cute.. ]
... People do send mail within the city. You never know, maybe you’ll receive a surprise parcel.
no subject
(Or if they have food.)]
Ah. I hate surprises.
no subject
Some are fine.
A surprise snack, for example.
[ Why a snack.... ]
no subject
Are you... hungry, Da Vinci....
no subject
No, I meant some surprises are good.
[ Like food. ]
no subject
[tbh baren might not even like surprise free food]
I guess surprise chocolate is okay, as long as there's no weird intentions with it.
no subject
What weird intentions... ? Like Valentine's day chocolates?
[ I mean. He'd still eat them, it's not like you have to accept the feelings that come with the chocolate if you don't want to. ]

[that's what he thinks anyway????]
