I knew what you meant; it just sounded code for something else entirely you might try to 'take'. ...you leave these women unviolated in their beds, correct? Consent is sexy, Gaius. [I DON'T THINK THAT AT ALL LMAO]
Yeah, I still don't get the difference between the two.
like id sneak into a ladys house 2 scratch n itch like that im charmin enough 2 get it w/o sneakin round [YOU GET OUT OF HERE WITH YOUR WHORE REMARKS.]
easy 1 is 4 getting 2 places the other is 4 getting 2 places w/style
...You can take a barbaric thing and make it sound so much worse with two simple words. It's downright skillful. And you're not charming, you're a liar. There's a difference.
I've seen flying boats. Two wheels on the ground isn't that impressive anymore. Are you just standing in the middle of her hallway texting me? Lol.
No, there's natural charm and there's lying charm. You're acquainted with the latter, but natural charm comes from someone who possesses inherently attractive qualities. Someone who listens, makes eye contact, smiles, responds positively and with humor. You know exactly one person like this.
Ah, you're giving up? I'm ashamed to be in your company. No. I'm all out of new books to read for now, and I haven't replinished my supply because of the weather. [THE RARE SOBERSUGI APPEARS]
Is that right? I figured you'd just try to arc the stream towards your face. It'd be like a renewable resource.
Fine. Turkey, spinach, tomato, extra pickle, mayo, mustard. Wheat. Or if they have like... seedy or oaty bread. The good stuff. If you get me rye, I'll punch your esophagus. There's some Yakult chilled but if you don't want that or water/tea/coffee, grab a drink.
...Drinking your own piss would just dehydrate you more, Gaius. I thought you were a survivalist.
It's fucking rye. No one likes rye, not even women. And yeah Tiki bought some last time she went shopping. [aka it's been in the cupboard for 3 months]
[And as promised, within a half hour, there's the telltale sounds of the thief pushing the door to the dojo open, his huge sachel thrown over one shoulder, a plastic bag with sandwiches in the other.]
[...almost offers a snappy reminder about how Gaius is older than him, but instead just leans over and plugs his phone into the energy cube Tony gave him two Christmases ago]
[the smell of coffee will greet Gaius before Takasugi does, the man following its trail out of Tiki's room shortly after, paper door sliding shut behind him]
You're using your interjections wrong again. "Ojama shimasu" is more correct in this setting. [the whole hall is chilled and dimly lit, appropriate for a winter evening, and Takasugi himself is wearing a juban under his kimono as well as a haori when he emerges from the gloom]
[...offers him a scrutinizing look] I suppose you can use "tadaima". You're here often enough.
[It's a pleasant smell, coffee. Back home, coffee was something that only nobles drank, funnily enough.
He gives the samurai a bit of a wry smirk as he's scolded for his bad manners--likely not the first time it's happened, and he gives his shoulders a little shrug.]
You guys have long words for everything you do. Cut me a little slack, I'll get'm eventually. [He moves to pull his cloak a bit tighter around his shoulders, holding the bag containing their sandwiches forward for the other.]
'Tadaima', eh. Sounds a lot easier than 'Ojama shimasu'. [Meaning, he'll probably use that one over the other one, despite the fact that he doesn't know the difference between the two sets of words.]
'Slack'? Why would I do that. [he's a critical man, after all, not only with others but himself]
[and quiet, too, finding little ways of saying things without ever really admitting to them, using the blind spots in Gaius's conversational knowledge of Japanese to make confessions he doesn't fully comprehend. it's not a boat on the water, isolated but rocky shelter, and it's not a weekly cleaning spree of free board or shared pets]
[but when you're here, you're welcome, and please come again]
Aa. She's been up a lot lately; I think it's the winter. [is it a manakete thing? does she just know how much he hates the season and it's not only because of the cold? he can't tell and isn't bold enough to ask]
Here, come on. [grabs the pot from the kitchen and guides him back to the room he's seen many times, chaotic with books and knives and every other weapon in between]
