A/N: This is the first in a series of crossover drabbles, using the fanfiction100 table over at live journal, that I have challenged myself to write. Enjoy.

Prompt: Friendship

Reconciliation

"Hi," says a brown-haired boy.

"Hello," replies a green-haired boy with a shy smile.

"You new to Rukongai, too?"

"Yes."

"How did you die?"

"I was in a war, I think."

"I'm pretty sure that's how I died, as well."

The green-haired boy feels a spark of kinship for this stranger.

"I'm Tolle," says the other boy, bowing slightly. "At least, I think that's my name."

"I don't remember my name."

"That's okay," says Tolle with a grin. "Let's be friends."

The feeling of kinship expands into an unfamiliar but pleasant warmth. His smile widens, becomes more solid.

"That sounds like it would be nice."
