Yeah? I hope one of the jealous lackeys won't go for me because of their personal feelings.

[ He tries to put it lighthearted when it should be treated seriously. Not that he's blowing Kurapika off. ]

But thanks, that you went out your way to do that for me.

[revengier]

[ The lightheartedness is nice, honestly. It means Kurapika's not holding onto the fob so tightly when he takes it out of his bag to let them into their dorm building. ]

I don't need extra trouble. It's better if they know your face and therefore to stay away from you in particular.

[ But really, he would prefer it if Oria were not hurt. ]

[dissimulative]

That prooobably doesn't help the favorable status you seem to have, but I'm grateful! Really.

[ He follows Kurapika inside. ]

Thanks for today, I sure learned a lot. Though, I want to ask one thing... they're not affiliated with terrorists or anything, are they?

[revengier]

[ He sets his duffle bag down on the ground. Finally, he can stop lugging it around.

Sitting down at his desk chair, he bends down to start untying his shoes. ]

No. Is that worse than being affiliated with the mafia?

[dissimulative]

I personally don't care.

[ Unless it actually gets personal. ]

But my family is strongly opposed to any form of terrorist group. It's actually... annoying at how obsessed they feel about it sometimes.

[ But it's mostly his mom. It's fine. Oria sits on his own chair and spins in it. ]

[revengier]

[ He watches as Oria spins around in his chair before kicking off his shoes and peeling off his socks. ]

Is there a reason? Obsessions usually have reasons behind them.

[dissimulative]

It's my mom again.

[ Something crazy going on in the family? Kaleria did it. It's basically the Kinzo equivalent here. ]

She's always been vehemently against that sort of thing. It's probably something about her upbringing.

[revengier]

[ likely person for it to be, kurapika's face seems to say—

He takes off his hoodie now, pulling it over his head and causing his bangs to stand up in a puff of blond hair. ]

Do you know what it is about her upbringing, or has she never told you?

[dissimulative]

She never told me.

[ This Oria can stay in the shadows about it. He doesn't need to know. It's fine. ]

So I can't tell you even if I wanted to.

[ But he's not really the type to blab about secrets anyway. Privacy is such a huge thing of importance. ]

[revengier]

As if you would tell me even if you did know.

[ He laughs, a little huff of amusement, before he throws his hoodie over at his bed.

Kurapika moves to undo his pants next, figuring it's fine since he has boxers on underneath anyway. It's like he's still wearing shorts, after all. ]

Some things it's better not to know anyway. Perhaps you're better off.

[dissimulative]

[ Stripping with such confidence... couldn't be him. Damn. Oria spins in his chair again before getting up to go to his bed to charge his phone. The charger is closer there than the desk. ]

Yeah? Probably! It's not really important anyway.

[revengier]

[ That's all the stripping he does, at least for today. Kurapika balls up his pants and launches them towards his bed. ]

Even if it is, sometimes it isn't worth knowing the important things either.

[ In his opinion, at least! ]

Your family seems to have a lot of complications. I hope you at least get along well with some of them.

[dissimulative]

Sounds like you take that from experience.

[ Mysterious Kurapika. ]

But yeah, I do get along with my siblings at least.

[ But his dad? Debatable, but he'd rather go to him than his mother. ]

[revengier]

[ Kurapika gives him a little half-shrug. It's not a big deal, really, and his closest family members were good to him and that's all that matters. ]

Tell me about your siblings.

[ While he gets ready to go shower. He pulls the hair tie off of his hair and reaches for a brush. ]

[dissimulative]

But aren't you gonna go shower? I wouldn't want to keep you waiting.

[ He won't be going anywhere! But he's also avoiding chances to have to look at Kurapika. ]

[revengier]

[ He can see you avoiding any kind of eye contact in the mirror, Oria!! ]

You can simply say that you don't want to talk about them.

[ While he really is going to go shower, it does feel like Oria's using it as an excuse too. ]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria sighs. God. He'll really have to spell it out?? Please!! ]

I don't mind talking about my siblings. You're gonna catch a cold like that, so hurry up and go shower.

[revengier]

[ Oh. If that's not why he's avoiding looking at Kurapika, then— ]

...Is my level of undress making you uncomfortable?

[dissimulative]

[ He's having a tumbleweed twister of frustration above his head. Save him. ]

I'll get used to it eventually.

[ He was from an all-boys school!! It's fine?? Except Cethin always changed in the bathroom, so Oria never had to think about it. But also, this certain combination is deadly, he thinks.

He grew up with sisters... ]

[revengier]

[ Wow, it's just his legs, Oria... just his athletic, dancer-like legs. It's fine!! ]

Most of my male friends are usually in some state of undress around one another, so I assumed this much would be fine.

[ But he'll adjust for the future. It's good to know. ]

You can rest assured I won't ever go further than this.

[ Taking off his shirt is a no-no, and even the one he has one has a collar that sits around his neck. ]

[dissimulative]

[ Also, look. The difference between Cethin and Kurapika is that the latter is actually attractive (sorry bro), but still, it's something Oria will have to get used to. ]

No, don't worry about it. Seriously! It's fine. It's gonna be awkward if you keep it going. Just do what you want.

[ He's not even a leg guy!! That's Hien!!!!! ]

[revengier]

[ He narrows his eyes. Is it fine? Is it? With someone like Oria, who prefers not to give away how he really feels, it’s hard to know. ]

In the future, I would prefer if you outright tell me whether or not you like something, or if it makes you uncomfortable.

[ Kurapika has no problem expressing his opinion, so he doesn’t mind if Oria does the same. ]

[dissimulative]

Yeah, I'm starting to understand that. But I will! No worries. So, go already. Geez.

[ He goes to lie down on his bed on his stomach with his phone that's still charging. ]

[revengier]

[ He gives Oria a doubtful look, but moves to go get his things ready for a shower. After all, he's kind of sweaty and it's starting to feel gross.

...

It doesn't take him too terribly long before he comes back out of the bathroom in his usual oversized t-shirt and pajama pants. ]

It's all your when you're ready.

[ Kurapika, meanwhile, will climb up into his bed and plop down on it, hair still wet and all. ]

[dissimulative]

Okaaaay.

[ Oria takes a moment to stretch on the bed before collecting his change of clothes and goes to the bathroom. The amount of time it takes for Oria to shower is very short, but he stays in the bathroom even after ten minutes.

Then the sound of a hair dryer is heard. He has to take care of his hair, okay... leave him alone. He comes out after that, with his hair looking relatively nice. Not styled to go outside for, but still soft-looking. His sleepwear is something like a long sleeved top with sweatpants. Maximum comfy.

He also peeks if Kurapika is doing anything. If he is, Oria wouldn't want to bother him as he tells speaks about his sisters like he said earlier. ]
