Sure, there's some benefits. He guesses. There are beds which he only uses if he's curled up with Chikusa in one, otherwise he prefers the floor and some forms of running water, sort of, and Ken's had more hot meals in the past week than he has for the past year before it. (People have been weird about it.) But as far as Ken's concerned, Kokuyo Land was infinitely superior. It had Chikusa, it had Mukuro, and nobody cared if he ate a bunch of junk food or found some weaklings to thrash when his energy levels got unmanageably high.
He hasn't been able to take his energy and aggression out on anything since they arrived. He's considered going after some of the people at Home, but even without Chikusa's advising against it, he's got some brains of his own. He's stuck living with these people. And he doesn't want to be driven away from Home entirely, because this is the first place they wound up after being separated from Mukuro-sama. If they're going to find their way back to him - or, more likely, if he's going to find them - it feels like moving away from Home is putting greater distance between them. So he's not going to, and that may mean having to restrict his violence to elsewhere. And to things the residents of Home won't get mad at him for beating up.
So his ears had pricked right up when he heard the word 'bandits'. Bandits are bad guys! Nobody cares if bad guys get beat up! As short as the sentence 'leave it to me' is, Ken had already been accelerating toward the church fast enough that the usual 'byon' at the end of it was barely audible.
And in very short order, he's literally smashing into the church with wild abandon, hitting the doors so hard in Lion Channel that they fall flat to the floor with him crouched on top of them. His fangs are bared in a manic grin - which promptly transforms into surprise when he sees what he's up against.
He turns his head to look back over his shoulder.] Hey, Kakipi, they're mice!
[Mice with bows, Ken. The bows are the operative fact, and you will be shortly informed.]
