an extracurricular lesson [closed]

Characters: Death the Kid ([personal profile] perfectorder) and Yuuichi Tsurugi ([personal profile] itsalright)
Location: Park near training grounds thing
Rating: ...G?
Time: late morning, right after training
Description: After his snafu over how to properly address Yuuichi and realizing he is lacking in proper Japanese cultural customs, Kid decides to learn how to do it right. Or go crazy.

It had been a while since Kid had really tried to "learn" something that wasn't involved with Shibusen or anything pertaining to his duties as the current acting Shinigami. Then again, one could consider this unusual course as part of being a leader, but eh. Technicalities.

After finishing up with his usual help at training, Kid made his over at the arranged meeting spot with Yuuichi. After the day before, he was determined to learn whatever he could. He had even brought a notebook and a pen with him so that he could take notes to refer to later. Even back home he had procured numerous volumes of books to being his own self-study of his world's cultures, but he would have more a difficult time with those from completely different worlds that were not from some version of his Earth. He would have to address that later.

But for now he was quite eager to make this little step and had soon spotted Yuuichi, quickening his step as he raised a hand in greeting.

"Yuuichi? Sorry if I kept you waiting."

"Yes, it is. There's another suffix that's used like '-kun' but it's used mostly with girls or children. That's '-chan'."

"That is correct."

I am the worst at late tags I'm so sorry

"Well there is also '-senpai'. Senpai is used to address senior colleagues. If, oh say, Evans-san was a grade or two higher then you, you would then refer to him as Evans-senpai."

"I'm not sure if any other countries differentiate like we do in Japan, but it is a part of our culture, yes."
