"I didn't say we've never waited, byon." Ken's rapidly losing interest in talking, but he's too stubborn to abandon an argument. Especially when it means losing it to Chikusa. "Just that waiting's never done us more good than doing something." He pauses. "And don't say 'when we met Mukuro-sama', because we didn't even have a choice back then."
Their time being experimented on by their Famiglia had been the closest Ken feels they've ever come to productive waiting. It had been horrific, and Ken still hates the mafia for it and always will - but they'd met Mukuro through it. And Ken would never pretend he doesn't consider that worth everything they went through.
However, at their age, he and Chikusa hadn't been waiting for anything or anyone. Even if they could have conceived of someone like Mukuro saving them at the time, it wasn't like they'd had any other option. They'd been too young and weak back then; only Mukuro had been formidable enough back then to change their fate.
Ken does wonder, sometimes, what would have happened if they could have saved themselves. But he's perfectly content with the way things are, and if it could potentially have resulted in a future that didn't have Mukuro in it, he's happy to have avoided it.
"Show me later, byon." Ken says that like he's ever going to be want to be patient. But it's true that he's even less patient than usual right now. This is superbly demonstrated by the way he's trying to tear Chikusa's clothes off of him. Chikusa having him put his claws away was a good precaution, if he cares at all about his cafe uniform and keeping it intact.
