[He's utterly exhausted, after Asuka nightmares, noctaere, warehouses and turning twenty-six. The strain shows around his eyes and in his voice. As a result, he's more caustic than not, and isn't thinking in terms of people's (mainly Sena's, in this case) feelings.]

If you're still alive, call me.

I've spoken to Iris, Ken, and Alice since that--

[ohai, guess who's not handling nightmares and... that very well...]

Y-youji-kun...? H-happy birthday...

[slantedcross]

If I shut up, can I escape working in your flower shop?

[takatori_heir]

No. You need to be kept out of trouble.

And besides... girls come in to get flowers, just like back home.

[slantedcross]

I think this broken leg is rather more effective in that regard.

And they tend to be closer to your age than mine, Omi-chan. I will graciously bow out of that race. Purely for your benefit, of course.

[takatori_heir]

[rolls eyes]

Youji-kun, your leg won't stay broken forever. You need to work.

[slantedcross]

Not unless you're paying me, I don't.

[He's smiling. He's trying to distract you, even if that means you getting seriously irritated with him.]

[takatori_heir]

[well, you've certainly got him irritated...]

There's no money here, so it doesn't matter!

[slantedcross]

Exactly my point.

[takatori_heir]

You still need to be kept out of trouble, Youji-kun.

[slantedcross]

...Omi. Be logical.

When have you ever been able to keep me out of trouble?

[takatori_heir]

[And now you've moved from irritating to just plain annoying]

I'm not in the mood. I'm going for that walk now.

[did Omi just hang up on you? yes, yes he did]
