[As they step out, she looks at him over her shoulder. It's true, she did notice this, because she practically tasted it, if not smelled it permeating from him.
But here's the kicker:]
Ah yes, I absolutely do not recommend it. Bad human, it will kill you. [Wait, that's not the kicker, this is:] I know how to smoke.
[Wait, why isn't she explaining more? The truth is, she learnt how to to calm her nerves when she needed to keep steady when sniping.]
[ "Bad human", she says. Samatoki's expression turns wry, but he continues to follow her. It sounds like he's being scolded, but he doesn't take it seriously. He laughs at it, confident that he isn't going to change this habit of his. ]
[Good thing he's laughing at it, because she's mildly jesting. While she would hope he wouldn't, it's so knee deep in culture that she's used to it. She turns a corner, and starts to open the door, revealing her apartment styled like a beach pad.]
I don't mind it. If you ever need someone to casually smoke with you, I suppose I can allow it.
[Making it sound like she hates it! She doesn't mind for real, as she can see the appeal. Besides, she won't admit it, but he looks hot when he smokes. Still, bad human!]
Not somethin' I'm gonna promote. [ Basically, he's not gonna turn you into a smoker, Vietnam. If she doesn't mind it though, then that means it's fine if his house smells like smoke or if he smells like it. He's not that stinky, at least. ]
Then I'll remain smoke-free. [HE'S CUTE. He's a bad boy but he's so good to others? Stop this she can't stand it. But also it was why she didn't mind his house at all. Honestly, a lot of people back home smoked that one does end up getting used to it, for better or worse.]
I do, it's warm back home and my home is on the coast of the mainland.
Oh, just a man who seems to be the ultimate survivalist on television. He has a whole series about him surviving in the wilds! Like the ultimate real survivor! Survival cooking and survival climbing [Look it was the closest thing to rhyming--] and so forth. I think he used to be in the army.
[This is the worst tag I've written all day.]
I'm not sure if he ever fought a bear. But you're all from Japan, no? I thought they did eat bears there.
[ Samatoki stays silent and his expression grows serious, as if something important is happening. His attention is full on Vietnam, and when he speaks next, it's like he's delivering bad news. ]
[This was potentially the most serious thing she has ever heard coming from him. It's almost like the whole world was going to explode and he had to face it.]
...W-will...he actually make a television show.
[She freezes on the spot, just after putting all the items into the refrigerator and closing it.
It looks like Samatoki is due in for a stress reliever, before Riou takes matters into his own hands.]
[ ... He looks away when she takes his hand. Who does she think she is? Being all... nice to him and comfortable like this. It's strange and annoying how he doesn't really think ill of her or anything. He doesn't find it awkward around her either even though they went crazy that one night... ]
Riou's not someone I'm gonna disappoint. That's all.
[When he gets embarrassed, so does she, so she looks at the wall for a minute. Her cheeks redden. But it doesn't feel uncomfortable, and that his hand just feels warm. Crazy moment aside. But she liked that too not that she would say that out loud.]
Riou is a nice person, so I agree with you. But I'm glad you think that. [Because it says a lot about his character.] Do you want to go to the lounge?
Yes, I mean, you're welcome to stay here as long as you like. I don't mind.
[But he might be busy, so she wouldn't want to hold him back either. At the same time, yes. You know. Come more often...]
So, over here, you see this was the kitchen...[Which still looks beachy! And then she leads him to the lounge room, decked out with long wooden lounges and white padding and cushions, which also has a large set of sliding windows leading to the balcony, one that is well decorated.] And this here is the lounge room. [Also large tv.]
[Welcome to LUXURY. She's humble, but she also likes quality things. She moves over to sit next to him, and takes the remote.]
Let's see, I was looking into a few series that they have here. Some action, a few romantic dramas, their variety television shows certainly is something.
[There's probably the furry equivalent of everything they need here.]

Nice place. You like the beach?
no subject
I do, it's warm back home and my home is on the coast of the mainland.
[Eyes his username.]
So we have a lot of beaches as well as mountains.
no subject
[ He grumbles, a little uncomfortable at the fact. ]
Did he say anythin' about that?
no subject
[She was about to take his bags to put them temporarily in the refrigerator for them to keep until he leaves, and she gives him most dead look.]
...I knew he lived in the mountains but not in a tent? I had assumed it was cabin the whole time!
no subject
Yeah, he likes to stay in the wild.
[ He's pretty wild himself, that Riou. ]
Managed to convince him to actually stay in the city here.
no subject
I gathered, but I didn't think him to be...I don't know, Bear Grylls. [Amy: SLAPS KNEE.]
So that's why he's living next to you?
no subject
[ Who the fuck is Bear Grylls ]
He'd eat a bear if he could catch one.
no subject
[This is the worst tag I've written all day.]
I'm not sure if he ever fought a bear. But you're all from Japan, no? I thought they did eat bears there.
[WORST TAG I'VE WRITTEN ALL DAY.]
no subject
............... don't ever give Riou more ideas.
no subject

no subject
He can have a show all he likes. It's the new shit he's gonna try and do that's a problem.
[ Do you know who Riou's gonna test his new toenail soup out on????? SAMATOKI. ]
no subject
She thinks about this for a minute.]
...You're the one he tests out all his ideas on, because you're his closest friend...?
[SAMATOKI, WHY DO YOU SAY YES.]
no subject
No, s'not it. He offers. Can't refuse when he's so happy about it, you know?
no subject
Oh...
[He's adorable. v100
She walks over and pokes his cheek lightly.]
You're rather kind. For a bad boy.
no subject
I stick by my comrades. I wouldn't be where I am now if it weren't for them.
[ He's a loyal bad boy!!! ]
It's not about being kind.
no subject
Then you are loyal. That's also just as wonderful.
[She thinks of loyalty as one of the most important traits. So she takes his hand and pats it warmly.]
no subject
Riou's not someone I'm gonna disappoint. That's all.
no subject
Riou is a nice person, so I agree with you. But I'm glad you think that. [Because it says a lot about his character.] Do you want to go to the lounge?
no subject
[ May as well have the tour!!! If... he ends up frequenting her place then... you know. He needs to know stuff. ]
I'll go after you show me around. Don't wanna take up all your time.
no subject
[But he might be busy, so she wouldn't want to hold him back either. At the same time, yes. You know. Come more often...]

no subject
[ That's a large tv!! Her place looks so fancy, it makes it entertaining to look around.
He then takes a seat on a nearby chair. It's comfy! ]
