[ what the hell is a -san ]

Everyone wants things. I'm just better at getting what I want than most. [ winks??? but then she points to his own ] What about you? How lazy are you?

Pretty lazy.

[don't just say this]

Gonna be honest, I sort of came here because I thought I'd just get to sleep in and eat my favorite foods all day....

[like

why is there so much sex stuff]

I didn't think I'd go anywhere. Just... get what I wanted.

[ it's pensive, and then she shakes her head, and then, dry: ]

But I especially didn't think everything would be sexual.

[ why. ]

[ . . . . ]

Guess we're kind of in the same boat - but you should only do what you're comfortable with. If anyone gives you a hard time, I'll kick their ass for you.

[ okay, that makes her laugh? ]

That's sweet. But offering to beat people up for me is a very bad start to indulging your laziness, you know.

[oh shit]

Crap!

[he's going to have a bad time here]

[ again: laughing, but: ]

Maybe using you as a bodyguard counts as being greedy?

Oh...

I guess... if I'm a bodyguard, I don't need to do my own thinking about who to punch...?

[a little bit more of a stretch but]

I'm sure it counts as some sort of sloth if all you do is what other people tell you and don't bother thinking for yourself.

[ is this a good plan. no ]

Yeah!

[don't sound so eager]

Alright, Grace-san, you can do some of my thinking for me.

[at least he didn't say all????]

Sounds fun. [ why is she agreeing, but also, she'll ask: ] What's the san thing?

Oh -

Yeah, I guess a lot of you are from other countries... It's like - respect! Though I started calling you by your first name because of Takeru....

Sorry about that - I should've asked.

It's fine, everyone calls me Grace anyway. [ though of more interest: ] You know Takeru?

Eh...? Then I guess if it's okay for me to call you Grace too...

[though he looks a little flustered, like a little baby - ]

But ah, yeah. You're rooming with him, right?

[a beat]

He's never going to say sorry, so I'm gonna say sorry for him. Just don't tell him I am or else he'll say more rude shit to me.

It is, Mineo.

[ since apparently first name basis flusters him she's going to make an effort to do that, although she looks both amused and confused ]

Why are you saying sorry for him? He hasn't done anything to apologize for.

[sorry hold on - ]

He hasn't?!

[ pensive: ]

Well, not to me anyway. [ shrugs ] Does he usually have something to apologize for?

[softly:] Whoa......

Uh - normally he's really mean! Really lays into people, no hesitation. No matter how cute they are, or well-meaning.

You're pretty nice, Grace-sa—Grace. But you're smart too. So maybe that's why he can't find anything to criticize...?

I am, aren't I? [ she just. agrees? immediately? ] He's brutally honest, then? I've got a friend like that too. I'm sure I can help you keep Takeru out of trouble.

[good for her! he just laughs a little bit at that]

He'd hate hearing us talk like this, but....

[ . . . ]

Thanks. I'll leave some of that to you, if that's okay. He's a good guy, really. Even if I wanna toss him out a window some days.

[a beat]

Most days. [another beat] .... Everyday.

Maybe I can do the thinking for both of you? That way you don't try to throw him out the windows here. I doubt he'd like that, either.

I'd much rather you do the thinking for him when it comes to people skills but otherwise might be his best quality.

[takeru smart

even mineo can't deny that]

I did mean for his people skills. [ she looks so amused? ] I've got a friend who's not always too good at it too, even though he's great at strategy, so I get it.

[he sighs like it really is just the world's worst burden]

We're so put upon as friends....

[shut up]

I know, right? What would they do without us?

[ she needs to stop agreeing. ]
