You kind of give off that vibe, you know? Like I can trust you.

[bakaomi]

[ he has no idea what to do with this information ]

Huh...

[divus]

Don't worry, it's a good thing. It's kind of cute? [Still.] Has no one ever said that to you before?

[bakaomi]

Merriment kept saying that he thinks I'd be good for that kind of thing. That people would rely on me.

... I think he misjudged.

[divus]

Oh yeah? What makes you think that it's a misjudgment?

[bakaomi]

People only care about my relationship with Senri. It has nothing to do with me at all.

... not that I can blame them.

[divus]

...I don't know about everybody else, but I don't really think about you in association with Nito-san and I don't know if your patron does either. You've gone to more lengths to actually get to know me than Nito-san has.

[bakaomi]

[ oh

he glances away ]

That's different.

[ no it's not you dumb bitch ]

[divus]

[...Taka??]

How is that different? [EXPLAIN.]

[bakaomi]

[ DONT MAKE HIM EXPLAIN HE'S JUST A TSUN ]

You're just... easy to talk to?

[divus]

That's really sweet of you. [But you're still an idiot.] ...you've done a lot for some of us. It's just funny that you don't see that yet. Give yourself a little more credit?

[bakaomi]

... I guess we'll see.

[divus]

Consider it. [She shakes her head.] What are your plans for this coming week? You have new hosts starting tomorrow.

[bakaomi]

I'm going to try to talk to all of you again, for one.

... and I should probably see about talking to everyone else, too.

[ he's bad at socializing..... back home he had friendship just forced on him........ ]

[divus]

Not a bad plan. Just don't psych yourself out of it. It's better to start talking to everybody now than before it's too late in the game anyway.

[bakaomi]

I know. I've heard people might be want to kill me less if I'm friendly.

[ lmao ]

[divus]

Funny how that works. [Taka...] Are you worried about getting close to people?

[bakaomi]

[ why do gods feel like therapists....... ]

I'm never going to see any of these people again after this, right?

[divus]

[THERE'S A VERY LOUD SIGH.]

Why are you both the same person?

[bakaomi]

Huh? Who?

[ WHO IS HE BEING COMPARED TO NOW ]

[divus]

You and Ray! Both of you with this "oh I'm not here to make friends because I'm not going to see anybody afterwards" thing. [Huff.] Though I guess you're a liiiittle less stubborn about it than he is.

[bakaomi]

[ TAKA JUST LOOKS

SO OFFENDED AT BEING COMPARED TO RAY ]

[divus]

[That's fine Love just starts laughing because that look is priceless.]

[bakaomi]

Oi! Stop that!

[ he didn't sign up for this ]

[divus]

Lighten up a little! I never said it was a totally bad thing...you're both just kind of stubborn like that. [A beat.] He's an interesting kid. It's probably more of a compliment than you think.

[It's unfortunate that Love likes Ray and Takaomi.]
