[ 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.

[revengier]

...I'd prefer smoke.

[ And he's totally not pouting over it, by the way. Definitely not. ]

I can have a conversation with my boss about the sort of environments he sends me into. Requesting spaces that are better ventilated shouldn't be much of an issue.

[dissimulative]

Sounds like a plan. Honestly, with how much you stank, I thought they would have blown the smoke right at your head instead.

[ Yeah... ]

[revengier]

[ ...

He shoves Oria. ]

I don't recall asking about the magnitude of the smoke smell.

[dissimulative]

You don't recall shit. Work on that.

[ Gaslighting.......

Anyway. ]

But that only shows how good the trick worked, right?

[revengier]

[ Jerk!!

Instead of shoving Oria for a second time, he simply doesn't answer that question and continues eating. ]

[dissimulative]

Hehe~ Can't admit that I'm riiiight? And that you need my help sometimes? Hmmmm?

[ He's fully goading him on now... ]

[revengier]

[ Kurapika takes a bite out of his cookie, doing his best to seem unperturbed. Is it working? Who can say. ]

I am perfectly capable on my own, Oreo.

[ ...His pettiness gives him away, however. ]

[dissimulative]

Oi.

[ He can usually let things slide, but calling him an oreo? How dare he... ]

Fine! Next time you need help, I'm just gonna watch from the sidelines and laugh at you.

[ Hmph!!!!!! ]

[revengier]

I think I would prefer that over your gloating after the fact.

[ Probably? Probably. Who knows. He might actually end up regretting this later. ]

[dissimulative]

I hope you eat those words one day.

[ binch!!!

Oria "Oreo" Severine finishes up his last burger, but doesn't leave quite yet. ]

Did you hear about the therapy dog session next week? You should probably go.

[ And freakin relax. }

[revengier]

...

[ He sets the fork he had just picked up right back down on his tray. ]

Did you just suggest therapy to me?

[dissimulative]

I mean, for what good petting and playing with dogs can do, I guess you can consider it therapy? People are always stressed at school, so the school offers it from time to time.

[ Imagine being on the wide and open lush greenery, playing with dogs. ]

[revengier]

[ He pretends to consider it... ]

I don't need it. I'm not stressed.

[dissimulative]

I think you should go play with dogs in your free time just because.

[ Not for the invisible stress that Kurapika doesn't have. ]

It'll be fun!

[revengier]

Then you should go.

[ With him? Maybe. Right now he’s just telling Oria to go to it on his own. ]

[dissimulative]

With you? Okay! No takebacks!

[ Yeah.

Suffer. ]

[revengier]

That is not what I said and you know it.

[ Hmph!!! He’s totally not pouting here, and he tries to hide it by having a bite of pizza. ]

[dissimulative]

I don't see you refusing.

[ He has such a smug look on his face. ]

3 PM next Wednesday! Don't forget!

[ Here he is, bouncing off with his empty tray. Bye, boy. ]
