[ Oria wouldn't care about the little "fuck you" quip, but it sure feels nice since the day just barely started.

Anyway, this guy has already gone through four burgers by the time Kurapika comes over to sit next to him. He has about four more on his tray with some other miscellaneous food that will also be swallowed into the darkest abyss of Oria's stomach. ]

Hey! Doing good? This is so much stuff... if you can't eat any, let me know.

[revengier]

[ All Kurapika can do for a long moment is stare at the amount of food on Oria's plate. ]

Where do you put all of that?

[ He's lean. Where does it all go??? How much does he work out? ]

[dissimulative]

Oh, don't worry. I'm gonna bring one back into the room so I can eat it later.

[ That's not what he's asking. ]

[revengier]

You realize that doesn't answer my question, don't you?

[ He shakes his head, picking up a knife and fork to cut into his slice of pizza. ]

[dissimulative]

I mean, isn't it obvious? It goes inside my stomach!

[ He watches Kurapika eat his pizza with a fork and knife and... ignores it. It's not his business as to how Kurapika wants to eat things. ]

[revengier]

[ he doesn't want his fingies to get greasy :( ]

How often do you work out?

[ That's probably the better question to ask here— ]

[dissimulative]

I do inline parkour everyday for a hobby, so I don't really hit the gym or anything.

[ He eats another burger. ]

[revengier]

...What do you get out of that?

[ He doesn't get it, clearly. Though the very fact that Kurapika is eating his pizza with a knife and fork probably makes that easy to guess. ]

[dissimulative]

Fun ways to explore the campus! It's the perfect place for it, really. There are so many structures and stuff along with different building sizes. I got to the top of the enrollment building before too!

[ He should not have done that. There is security and so much staff working there. ]

[revengier]

[ He tries so hard to hold back a sigh. ]

Which is the perfect way to get yourself expelled. You do realize that, don't you?

[dissimulative]

Oh noooo. I never knew that.

[ /s ]

Maybe not as bad as whatever you're doing at night?

[ The cig smoke and booze smell was Rough. ]

[revengier]

[ Ugh!!! UGH. Oria's got him with that one. ]

There was a reason why I did not want you to drive me.

[dissimulative]

Kurapika...

[ Oria looks and sounds smug. Sorry for your pride. ]

You have no rights regarding that.

[ Pot. Kettle. Etc. ]

I'm guessing you don't wanna talk about it?

[revengier]

[ Wow, Oria doesn't have to sound so smug?? It makes Kurapika's frown deepen. ]

Are you going to continue pressing it?

[dissimulative]

Nope. Well, not yet.

[ He eats another burger. ]

But did you end up doing what you set out to do?

[revengier]

Work? Yes, I did.

[ He grabs a cookie off of his tray, taking a bite. It's good. Not as good as something homemade, obviously, but it's serviceable. ]

I didn't set out to get drunk, if you were wondering.

[dissimulative]

Is it like, a service job at a gambling place or something?

[ He imagines men sitting around multiple tables setting up cards or whatever else they do to gamble their savings away while drinking liquor and smoking.

But of course, that's just media representation and obviously fake.

Right? ]

[revengier]

You aren't as far off as I expected you to be.

[ In other words, the most condescending way to say that Oria is kind of close. ]

[dissimulative]

[ binch

But Oria keeps that inside. It is fine. ]

Get ready to adjust your expectations! Well, if that happens again, you can use my box of baking soda. You only need a little of it each time anyway.

[revengier]

It likely will.

[ A pause. ]

Though that particular location wasn't well ventilated. I won't usually come home smelling like that.

[dissimulative]

Good to know. The snell of smoke is really hard to get out of the dorm walls, you know. That's how smokers get caught by the RA with their impromptu checks.

[ He doesn't want to get busted for smoking indoors? He's not even smoking!! ]

[revengier]

[ He wants to bite back with a little "obviously" and it's plain on his face that he wants to, but he doesn't. Oria's just trying to be helpful. ]

I'll start to bring a change of clothes with me, just in case.

[ ... ]

You don't have to worry about me ever smoking inside the room.

[dissimulative]

Yeah? I figured.

[ Kurapika doesn't seem to be the type, but Oria has had his expectations flipped on him once and he wouldn't be surprised if it happened again. ]

I don't either. No drinking too.

[ He's a good boy........ when it comes to those things. Just that? Yeah. ]

Though I don't think a change of clothes will help your hair.

[revengier]

[ For a moment, he wonders if he should clarify that he does smoke, but... ]

I'll never drink in the room.

[ Outside of it? Yes, absolutely, even though it's illegal. ]

I could purchase stronger shampoo.

[dissimulative]

I heard medicinal shampoo obliterates the smell.

[ But that's a prescription thing. Also, Kurapika can do whatever he wants as long as he's reasonable about it. ]

Though you'll probably start smelling like antiseptic instead.
