[You know what sucks? This entire situation. Minato was pretty close to Yoshi, and hearing that he's dead is...undoubtedly hard.
Still, he's Minato; he can't help but wander the resort, trying to lowkey check on everyone as he goes, a piece of paper held carefully in one hand.
So...when he spies Hunter, he pauses.
Just long enough--he'll just see how he's doing, and then he'll move on, he thinks.]
Hey... Hunter-san.

Hey... Hunter-san.
[He definitely echoes Minato's sentiments on this entire situation being awful, and his demeanor reflects that. Even a while after the announcement occurs, he looks downtrodden, though he tries to push some of that away when he sees the other boy.]
Hey. [...] You can just call me Hunter, you know. More importantly, though, are you...?
Hey. [...] You can just call me Hunter, you know. More importantly, though, are you...?
[He hesitates for a moment, but...]
I just keep thinking... that at least we'll probably still be able to talk to him after this. [...] But maybe trying to find a silver lining is messed up.

...Yeah.
[He isn't sure whether or not he agrees with that, but all the same, he moves on quickly.]
Were you good friends with him?
[He isn't sure whether or not he agrees with that, but all the same, he moves on quickly.]
Were you good friends with him?
He was... weird about that kind of stuff. He kept acting like there was a one week limit before I was going to start hating him.
[He sighs.]
Yeah. It's - there are a lot of really awful things about this place, but this is a big one.

...Yeah, they are. But that's not true.
[And so—]
If you need anything, you can let me know.

[He nods, his smile growing more sincere.]
Thanks. You're a good friend.
Thanks. You're a good friend.
[Things have been hectic since Monday, but... Upon seeing Minato, there's a surge of guilt upon not seeking him out earlier. The other side of that, however, is that he's nodding immediately.]
Yeah, totally. What's up?
Yeah, totally. What's up?
You wanna check out the aquarium with me?
[Minato has absolutely no such qualms, it seems; he seems to have recovered a fair amount since Monday (or he's just not thinking about it, who knows), so..... here we are...!!]
I've never been to an aquarium before, so it sounded kind of fun.

[He seems surprised by the offer, but he gives a nod regardless, a slow and tired smile coming to his face.]
Yeah, that sounds nice. There's a really cool aquarium in Toronto... I haven't been in ages. It might be nostalgic.

[He pauses for a moment, tilting his head.]
The city, or the aquarium itself?

[The smile stays as he nods.]
They're both pretty great. Which do you want to hear about first?
They're both pretty great. Which do you want to hear about first?
It's really great. It's huge, and... There's always a ton to do. It's really diverse, too, both the people who live there and the kind of stuff there is to do. I miss it already.
[But, once he's said that:]
How about the city you live in?
[But, once he's said that:]
How about the city you live in?
[Mmm...]
I live in Iwatodai.
[He tilts his head, contemplative.]
It's... in Port Island in Japan--it's probably about a thirty minute train ride outside of Tokyo.
It's nice though... quiet, but still a city. Sort of the best of both, you know? [Peacefully:] The cherry blossoms there are really beautiful when they bloom.

[His smile grows a little more thoughtful as he looks Minato's way.]
It sounds really nice. It'd be cool to visit it sometime, if I ever get the chance.
