.... you got along with Indulgence but not Bambi?

[selfimmolates]

Setting that bridge on fire when I defected aside, Indulgence is easy.

[usogi]

You're the cause of his self-esteem problems. It's all you.

[selfimmolates]

I didn't know he was going to make a friggin' rule just to spite me!

... What'd he say to you?

[usogi]

Mostly that he's feeling really unwanted.

[senri pouts]

... he's really upset. You should apologize.

[selfimmolates]

Are you kidding? He might curse me or something.

[usogi]

Well it won't mean anything if I say sorry for you.

[selfimmolates]

I didn't even do anything wrong...

[usogi]

Knowing you, you probably buttered him up to see how many items he could conjure for you for free, and lied about how you'd stay with him or otherwise said misleading things to imply you would, and then suddenly ditched at the end of the week once you got what you needed.

[selfimmolates]

Indulgence is a moron. And for the record, it wasn't free. I did have to work for that trial item, thanks.

[usogi]

You just don't want to admit I'm right about the rest....

[selfimmolates]

I never lied.

[usogi]

[senri looks at his nails from where he's still resting against the doorframe]

Half-truths, omitting vital details, and sarcasm, then.

Are we here for anything else?

[selfimmolates]

Only an idiot wouldn't realize I was going to switch as soon as the week was up.

I'm good.

[It's fine because Ray says that, but there's the sound of footsteps echoing from the stage wing as a young girl enters her room and. Sort of just stares and raises an eyebrow. Ray's used to her, but she looks startled by Senri's appearance.]

Oh. You got in. [HELLO??]

[usogi]

[SENRI ALSO LOOKS STARTLED BY HER APPEARANCE - ]

Oh!

[HE FEELS SO BAD REALLY,]

Sorry for the intrusion - Ray-kun said we got permission but we were just about to get going...

[selfimmolates]

Your room is exactly as I expected it to be, for the record.

[divus]

[She just. Rolls her eyes at Ray and ruffles his hair because she's sure he'll hate that.] I already told you I'd be honest about stuff.

[i.e she had nothing to hide so she's sure Ray figured it out. To Senri though she smiles. ] I did tell him, but I'm more surprised you got the door open. It's nice to see you, Senri-kun.

[usogi]

[she's not mad.... okay he relaxes a little and smiles back]

Mm, it's nice to see you too, Lovely!

Ray-kun didn't make getting the door open easy on me - but the songs were fun!

[selfimmolates]

[at the reminder of the fucking door

do you feel ray's sheer contempt radiating from him, rise.]

[divus]

It's kind of clever though right? People who go in there to practice usually already have music in mind, so they won't pick a new CD. And the people who are just looking and don't dance probably won't even check the stack at all.

[usogi]

It's super clever! Is there an actual routine that goes with it? You'll have to teach me sometime.

[selfimmolates]

Well, I won't deny that it's smart.

[divus]

Thanks. [There's a grin.] I would love to teach you...but that's not why you guys were looking for the room in the first place, right?

[usogi]

[senri blinks]

... was there a reason? I thought Ray-kun just wanted to get closer to you.

[thAT'S WHY SENRI LOOKED FOR BEAUTY'S ROOM?]
