[His voice is low, low enough that it might be difficult to hear if he isn't listening closely, low enough for a passerby to miss.]

That's easy enough. I'll do the same thing I did at home before there was even a Kira: I'll make a reputation solid enough that his words won't hurt me. If he says it now, it will be my word against his, but the suspicion will be there. He has a life of his own here, he's had more time to build something. He's bad at it so I'm sure it's not much, but it's still something I have to protect myself against.

[There's been roadblocks thanks to a few events outside of his control, but once those people were dead, Light would feel safe enough until he got home. Once he did make it home, it wouldn't be a problem, especially if L's death was looming in the horizon. It's exciting.]

The danger comes from how easily swayed opinion can be. I've not been here long enough to win that kind of deep loyalty.

[When he hears Ryuk stopping, Light does too, but he'd once again begins to move when his companion does the same.]

You can feel it in your stomach, almost hollow. If it lasts long enough, sometimes there are noises, but you should eat before that point.

[Light no longer stocks a lot of apples, it's been a month since he's seen Ryuk, but that would be easy to change.]

That sounds fair. Then, when we get home. I'll let you make yourself comfortable and we can talk.
