They do. I don't think she's gone a day in her life without one. [A scratch to his dog's head even as she wiggles in Senri's arms to get comfy, tail thumping against the floor.]
She was a gift when I moved to Japan. We've been friends ever since, haven't we An-chan? [A boop to the snoot as well.]
[she's sooooo cuuuuute. senri is absolutely enamored with her as he cuddles close with this pup, even though he's also not leaving tamaki's side?? this is fine. cuddle pile.]
Hehe, I'm glad she's been able to keep you company.
Near Paris. [There's an odd pause, and perhaps it's a little ironic that he's telling Senri this.] My mother and I lived in a mansion there until I was fourteen.
Sometimes, but Japan has been a great adventure. Experiencing a whole new culture has been exciting! My father used to write about it in his letters, but being able to see everything and do everything myself has been fun.
I want to learn everything. [There's a nod because yeah, big-ass bookcase.] I've traveled around the world but it still isn't enough. I want to be among the people and learn more about them. I want to learn more about the commoner's way of living...and I want to learn what makes other people happy.
There are some things you can't find in books, I think.
I try not to make it suuuper obvious. It's not that my school has something against commoners, exactly but... Ah, well, I'm just glad that the money I make from shows is good, or else it'd be a lot more obvious.
Yes...people like that have a way of making things come into focus and changing everything around them. Ahhh she was so cute the first day we met! She's been posing as a boy since she transferred into our school, but she makes for a perfect host.
Oh. Is that bad? [Beauty doesn't seem to think that's a problem but hm.] I've been learning more about the commoner life but I'm afraid I can't really pass for one that often.
[senri's gut reaction is to hate rich people. who live lavish lifestyles he'll never understand, and don't get the plights of common people like using public transportation. they'll never really understand him.
but.
it's tamaki.]
.... that's okay. I'd rather that you be yourself, which isn't bad at all.
I'm happy to hear that. [There's a soft smile.] I don't think I'm rich here anyway. Wealth doesn't account for much as a god when we can create anything we want.

[he'll finally let go of tamaki?? but only so that he can wrap his arms around antoinette instead, hugging her close]

Hehe, I'm glad she's been able to keep you company.
Where did you live before?

Near Paris. [There's an odd pause, and perhaps it's a little ironic that he's telling Senri this.] My mother and I lived in a mansion there until I was fourteen.

Ohh? And then you moved to Japan -
Do you miss it? France.

[Issei-san also travels around a lot and seems to be surprised by Japanese culture at times....]
Well, if you ever get tired of being a god and feel like coming back, you'll have to find me.
no subject
[Ah well.] There's still so much I didn't learn either.
no subject
Oh...?
What do you still want to learn? You had a big bookcase too, didn't you?
no subject
There are some things you can't find in books, I think.
no subject
I think... I'm still learning more of the second one myself - because there are plenty of ways to make people happy, that I'm trying to figure out.
But if you ever want to know more about commoners, you can ask me anything. I pride myself on it, you know?
