( he wasn’t really expecting that suggestion? it startles a laugh from him, though that’s less because of what kazuya’s proposing they do and more because… it’s ironically apt. he nods, though he seems to be a little more hesitant when kazuya mentions going back to his room. it’s not as though he would typically protest against such a thing, and it’s certainly not that he has anything to hide there (he actually keeps it rather spartan). but… considering what kazuya had expressed interest in trying, combined with knowing himself as he knows himself… well, he’s purposefully avoided taking people back to his room to sleep with them. cleaning staff don’t go down there. he works very hard to keep his room clean, because he likes things being clean, and if the sheets (or god forbid the mattress) got blood soaked into them, there’s no way in hell he would be able to afford cleaning or replacements on a four’s limited stipend…!
but—he can figure that out. they can figure that out. )
I’m only a Four… I don’t think our rooms are that much bigger. ( if they’re bigger at all? threes are kept on the same halls as fours; he’s never looked inside to verify. he tends to keep the bed expanded to its “full” size, giving less room in the room but more room to sleep in. he prefers that, considering he mostly only sleeps in there anyway. )
You… You keep losing it? ( makoto is dubious to the point of disbelieving before something “clicks” in his head. okay, maybe he’s remembering their earlier conversation and how shit just keeps happening to kazuya. makoto doesn’t know how he’s managed to avoid a lot of the stranger effects of this place, in the food and otherwise, but it seems like kazuya has the opposite problem. he sighs. ) Okay. Yeah, I get it. ( he gives a small shake of his head, standing up from the table. ) We can swing by the Nest, sure. I, ah… I actually have also been meaning to pick up a few replacement shirts as well.
( shit. why did he say “replacement”?? he seems to bristle a little bit as he realizes this odd choice in diction; he doesn’t really want to say he’d had to throw a few out because he’d gotten irreparably soaked in blood. it hadn’t always been someone else’s. once, it had been his.
he glances down at the proffered hand and then looks back up to kazuya to shoot him a narrowed, “I see what you’re doing” sort of glare. but he takes it all the same, ) Alright, then. Let’s go, ( beginning to lead them out of Red Cardinal and through the resort toward where the Nest sprawls.
as he does so, he does venture: ) Do you think… going to your room instead might be possible?
