[sorry hold on - ]

He hasn't?!

[alteracion]

[ pensive: ]

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

[sengokus]

[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...?

[alteracion]

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.

[sengokus]

[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.

[alteracion]

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.

[sengokus]

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]

[alteracion]

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.

[sengokus]

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

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

[shut up]

[alteracion]

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

[ she needs to stop agreeing. ]

[sengokus]

Get punched really hard.

[alteracion]

Considering how many people are with Wrath, that might still happen.

[sengokus]

[ . . . ]

I need to get a first aid kit ready....

[DON'T JUST ASSUME SASAZUKA'S GONNA GET DECKED HELLO]

[alteracion]

He's not much for dodging?

[ she doesn't even defend her roommate at all ]

[sengokus]

I guess, but like - you've seen him, right?

He's like this tall [gestures to an actually good approximation of takeru's height] and about... this much is made of donuts. Just donuts.

[he

only drops his hand like. a centimeter.

this is mineo's opinion that takeru is like 98% donut.]

That rest is spite, I guess. So he can dodge a little.

[THIS IS WHY SASAZUKA HATES HIM]

[alteracion]

Wow. [ she's clearly covering her mouth to hide a laugh, but: ] I had no idea he was mostly donuts.

[sengokus]

Yeah, almost completely donuts.

[HE'S SO SERIOUS ABOUT THIS - but he does crack a grin after a few seconds]

You'll see for yourself soon enough.

[alteracion]

Is it the only thing he eats or something?

[ should she be putting donuts out in the kitchen to their room ]

[sengokus]

It's his favorite. So admittedly if he's in a bad mood, you can hand him a donut and he'll chill out a little. Most sweets work though.

I'm gonna try to shove a vegetable down his throat every now and then though.

[alteracion]

What if eating a vegetable is against his gluttony indulgence?

[ it's a very important question ]

[sengokus]

He won't get to enjoy his reward if he explodes from icing before he even gets it! I'm doing him a favor!

[alteracion]

Have you ever tried making him a vegetable donut?

[sengokus]

[he pauses

and the look on his face suggests that he thinks this is fucking genius]

Grace...

I think you're the smartest person I've ever met.

[oh my god]

[alteracion]

You're welcome. [ shouldn't she be the one saying thank you, here, ] I'm just good at caring about people.

[sengokus]

[he doesn't seem to be bothered by the confidence - it just makes him grin]

Oh yeah? I think this place especially needs someone like you then.

We're lucky you're here.
