Yosuke couldn't help it. For all he kicked and moaned and whined about Junes being his future, he felt comfortable in business environments. They felt like a second home, almost. The layouts were all different, sure, but the mechanics of running them never changed that much. Yosuke crouched down, inspecting the side art of one of the Street Flayer IV machines.

"So, what's your overhead like?" He asked, poking at the worn paint on Ben's exposed pectorals.

Unlike Yosuke Junpei had next to no knowledge about running businesses at all - he had really been just learning from experience right from the get go since he knew that books would do jack squat for him.

So obviously, the term flew right over his head as the other teenager just blinked and gaze the brunette a confused look. "Huh?"

"Overhead," Yosuke repeated, as if he was asking Junpei a question as simple as 'what color are the walls'. And there they sat, in silence, with Yosuke's expression growing more and more pointed as he realized that maybe he should clarify.

"Like, I mean, how much does it cost to keep the place running? Lights on, heat going, machine maintenance, blah blah blah?"

Oh, so that's what he meant. Junpei gave another blink, the expression on his face shifting into one of contemplation as he tried to figure out a rough estimate.

"Well there's the rent, bills, some stuff for the exchange counter and the wages... I guess around six hundred?" The teenager shrugged after that. "I ain't really too sure." Keeping track? Yeah, that was really not one of Junpei's better traits.
