xp log: ohtori and kippei

Kippei was working, halfway through his day and dirty and hot as usual, and relieved that it was finally time for a break. This was the first time he'd ever done real hard labor on a regular basis, and while he wasn't unfit, it had taken some getting used to.

He went to find his water bottle and stood drinking it as he surveyed the work they'd gotten done and how long it would likely take to finish, when his eye was caught by a stray head of hair passing by; an unusual color, and somehow familiar. He crossed the street to get a better look.

"Hey," he said, waiting for the guy to turn, and yeah, that was Bolt. Way too tall and freaky colored silver hair. "Ohtori, right? How's it going?" he offered a smile and refrained from using the kid's code name, because jeez, the last thing he needed was him freaking out in the middle of the street.
