[ knock knock junpei he's looking for you. because what you've always wanted in life is a guy with cat ears on his head skulking through the corridors trying to find you. ]
[He's ended up going back to his room and he's calmed down a little, sobered up and everything. He managed to slip out of his room solely for the purpose of getting a snack, but he spots Shiraishi looking around instead. He pauses, and he looks at him for a short moment.]
Got bored with the lobby? [He sounds tired, but he'll engage anyway. ]
Oh yeah? And who told you that? [He's not really in the Mood for games, but he'll play along. Admittedly, he's interested in what Shiraishi's thinking.]
That you found a recording room and investigated the tapes. [ ... ] You might want to come up with a compelling explanation for your little fox bride, she was incredibly angry you were cheating on her like that.
The walls certainly aren't soundproof. Whether they were meant to be or not, or whether we were meant to hear that. Something to note and maybe reconfirm going forward.
[ Ah, there we go. ] So it was you. Thank you for confirming.
And yes, she was very unhappy with the prospect you were less devoted to her than she is to you. I hear women like flowers, or more personalised tokens that relate to things they enjoy or like, if you need to apologise with a little more clout before she claws your eyes out.
[ He shrugs. ] Maybe they did one and forgot the other. Either way, we had an audio show from whatever you found.
Yes. [ But hey, he didn't spirit marry a fox with a mean girls streak. it's fine. ] I work with a few of them enough for them to be annoyed at my existence. It's not like I have to apologise.
If I ever want a impromptu audio porn session again I'll be sure to pocket some cash ahead of time.
[ hm. he has no idea what you're talking about, junpei. ]
I'm just an honest person. I don't concern myself if people don't like that. [ Hm. ] Make it sooner rather than later, I don't want her clawing my eyes out because she doesn't like hearing the truth. [ See previous statement. See consequences of previous statement in action. ]
What exactly is your idea of honesty? [There's a slightly imploring look. There are a few definition here, and he can't quite decide which applies.] And why would she claw your eyes out?
I tell people the truth. [ Even if they don't want to hear it. ] You tell me. She's got quite the temper on her for someone so determined to pretend to be an archetypal demure ladylike wife-type.
You’re quite specific about this. Trouble with liars in the past?
[ But he waves a hand. ]
As in if someone is being unreasonable, slow off the mark, or not doing enough I don’t have a problem telling them. That sort of truth. Surprising how many people get worked up about it.
A bluntness then. People don't like having their flaws pointed out to them. That's hardly a surprise. [Junpei's included in that but it's fine.] But that's a kind of truth we'll need here, I guess.
Of course they don't. But they like it even less when they find people talking about them behind their backs. So I'll just tell them to their face, it's more direct and they can improve themselves if they have the desire to.
