I really wonder if this is supposed to be punishment. Who wants to live all on their own? It's creepy!

( let's just - have you look around, maybe that'll keep you occupied and away from your darker-than-wanted thoughts? )

Haven't heard about him. Or seen him, really. Which might say something in his favour. I was married to this guy I never saw, do you know how weird that was? Mimio? Or something, it makes me want to stay far away from the landlord.

( but aaaa, you see, Saki is becoming an increasingly favourite topic here, not only is it cute, and keeps Kida a few steps away from romance, it also make the mood so much nicer. And, therefore, the empathy way easier to bear )

Saki, huh? That is a pretty name ( with a bit of an odd meaning, but ) Is she your age?

( up until this point Tokage kept on glancing back, but he'll turn his back more fully now, for a moment or more. ) You can't trump that, to be honest. It's probably something everyone wishes for themselves, a person like that.

It's better than living with some people. You can always head into town, if you want to be less lonely. And maybe your job can distract you?

[Does she even have one? He's not sure - but he's always had jobs for the social interaction as much as the money, himself.]

Mimi-o? Like ears?

[That's probably not even how you write it, but he's happy to roll with that theory all the same.]

Maybe he hid from you because he was like Dumbo!

[Yes, yes exactly: someone like Saki is what everyone wishes for. And Masaomi has it. Had it. Has it still, maybe, in a way.]

Right. And yeah, she's my age... Why do you ask?

[Completely sincere curiosity. And completely ignoring his earlier proclaimed ambitions about dating older girls.

It's just... different, hitting on girls. It barely even has anything to do with the kind of feelings he has for Saki.]

I'm not sure, a lot of the people I have talked to seem like fun ( well, that's a big fat lie but shhh ) I don't have one, really. That's terribly lazy of me, isn't it?

I - probably, now that you say it. He has something animal-like about him.

( but he's a catboy Kida, that is totally how you write it. maybe

annnnnd this leads to some kind of snickercough that has Tokage hide his mouth behind his hand. )

Nothing, really. Maybe I'm just feeling old? Young love is something to envy.

( heading to the table now, both cups in hand. There are chopsticks already, and two cups of tea- )

[kida]

[Masaomi shrugs a bit.]

Not that lazy. It's not like you really need one, after all. But if you're lonely, it's a good excuse to get in touch with people.

[Tokage, old? What a ridiculous thought! Granted, Masaomi has hit on grannies without batting an eye, but Tokage doesn't even come close to looking that old.]

You're not old!

[On the verge of bursting into laughter, Masaomi follows Tokage to the table.]

You're... beautiful.

[Accompanied by a soft smile. Funny, he doesn't usually manage to say that seriously... Obviously, he has to make things less serious immediately.]

And clearly a great chef!

[boobytrapped]

You were lonely then? What a sad thought, good thing you didn't let that continue.

( and there's still something bubbly here, thank you Kida, but he might just mean these words though. )

I feel old. ( dropping into his chair at this, but he turns his head back, arching his neck to look at Kida ) Maybe you have an idea how to change that?

Careful, I'll end up depending on you to get me up when I'm feeling low.
