[It's easy to fluster her when she starts to get attached because he looks like he knows! That's too powerful! Look at that smirk.

She'll have to kill him.]

I mean, if it's just the two of us, I wouldn't mind trying... But only if you don't tell anyone! That's also a karaoke rule!

[coasts]

[ Don't??? Kill??? Him?????????? ]

The hell's a karaoke rule?

[hoasen]

[It's true she won't.

Although, after tucking her goods around her wrist and under her arm, she reaches and places her finger on his lips.]

Nothing leaves the karaoke room.

[coasts]

[ He cranes his neck a little so he can speak. ]

Never heard of it.

[hoasen]

[GASP.]

Now you know. It's very important. So you must keep it a secret! Think of it like I'm singing just for you.

[That sounds more cheesy than she meant.]

[coasts]

[ That's gross. Samatoki finds it too cheesy. Vietnam isn't allowed to say stuff like that anymore. ]

Alright, fine. I'll keep it to myself.

[hoasen]

[Too late. Also she's oblivious to this. HMM.]

Good. [Huffs!] And...we're close. [And the demon apartments are in sight, so she starts to lead him towards the safest building of them all.]

[coasts]

[ The safest building aldkalf

He lets out a low whistle. ]

Your place looks so much nicer than mine. Rent here is free, too?

[hoasen]

[IT'S TOTALLY THE SAFEST.]

Do you like it? [Hers looks like a beach resort, this is why she's poor right now!] In a way, yes. Eichi-kun practically owns it so we're here because...

[Well, because it's him.]

Would you like a tour or to make yourself comfortable?

[coasts]

Looks nice. Fancy.

[ Jyuto would probably want to live here. ]

What's this place got worth seeing?

[ He doesn't mind a tour! ]

[hoasen]

It's pretty comfortable, like it's not huge, but the facilities are lovely.

[She gestures above them.]

So many common areas, communal kitchens, but the best part is the rooftops. It has a pool, entertaining area.

[coasts]

Sounds fancy.

[ Communal kitchens for an apartment building? It's like inviting homeless people to come in and make food and use their facilities. Still, the place itself looks neat. Definitely a lot more secure and brighter than where Samatoki's staying. ]

You've gone swimming here before?

[hoasen]

It's rather comfortable, no? As a guest, you can come visit anytime to use the facilities.

[And don't tell Dice--oh wait. Still, she has her own kitchen too but this just helps. She nods as he asks.]

A little before I encountered you, actually.

[coasts]

Feels a little like trespassin', don't you think?

[ Then again, who is he to be afraid of doing that? :) :) :) ]

I'll let you know if I'm around.

[hoasen]

[Yeah she's sure he would trespass if he had to ;) ;) ;) He is a yakuza, first of all--]

It's not like you would be trespassing if you are visiting me, no? I have given you permission, if they argue the fact, tell them to contact me.

[coasts]

[ He's gonna fight everyone in this building. ]

What're you gonna do?

[hoasen]

[She looks so determined with this but--]

Tell them you're my guest. It's fine, the others invite guests all the time too.

[coasts]

Ah. [ He looks a little stumped. ] Thought you were gonna beat 'em up for fighting with one of your guests or somethin'.

[hoasen]

[She shakes her head. Wow, not everything is fixed with fists!]

We're going to have to be living with each other, so like I will respect them, they will respect me.

[Though there was something in the tone of her voice that implies she didn't mean this gently, despite her soft voice.]

[coasts]

[ That's pretty badass. Vietnam doesn't only deserve respect, but she demands it from people. She certainly doesn't look like the type of person to act that way, so it's a pleasant surprise. ]

If they don't?

[hoasen]

[Mostly because she hasn't a need to be authoritative, but considering her work, the usual habits are all still there. Sometimes, for good reason.]

I'm not going to force it out of them. But it doesn't mean I have to be nice to them, no?

[Basically, She Will Remember This. Generally she is a nice enough person that others are nice to her, so she hasn't had a chance to show that she's in fact, selectively so. She's forgiving, at least. She tugs him along with her to get to her building, where the elevator is.]

[coasts]

[ Samatoki lets himself be tugged. He follows immediately, anyway. It's not like he has anywhere else to be. ]

Can't imagine you not being nice to someone.

[ Vietnam is pure in his eyes.. ]

[hoasen]

[She laughs into her hand before she shakes her head, pressing the elevator button.]

Well, I try my best to be nice to everyone, since it's not like I know them! But if anyone hurts you...

[SHE'LL BEAT THEM UP.]

Also, which floor? [Her room, or the rooftop? As the doors open and she leads him in.]

[coasts]

I can take care of myself.

[ It's nothing against her! Samatoki is a prideful man, though. He's the person people come to when they're hurt. He also likes getting into messes, though, so getting hurt himself is a huge possibility. Still, something he can handle. He's a badass, after all. ]

Put your stuff at your place, first.

[hoasen]

I don't doubt it. You took care of me.

[See, she believes in him! But still, she wouldn't hold back unless he told her to (and he has to convince her). He may be a badass and a, quote, "bad boy", but seriously.]

Okay. <small.[And she presses the button, the doors close and they zoom off to the fifth floor.]
