[ Adachi flashed him a gentle smile at that. ]

What are friends for, right?

[ He paused a moment, tilting his head. ]

Oh... speaking of, can I ask a favor?

[fourlevels]

Mmm? What is it?

[sleight_of_hand]

I had given Yurio my tie... back then. I dunno if he really wants to even look at me after all that though.

D'ya mind grabbing it for me?

[fourlevels]

Back the—Oh. Ah. I'll ask him about it.

[sleight_of_hand]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[ Adachi paused a moment, switching legs. ]

I'm worried about approaching him more than ever.

[fourlevels]

Because of what happened ... ?

[sleight_of_hand]

Yeah... I dunno how he'd take me dying to save him. I'm not in the mood for yelling after that, you know?

[fourlevels]

... You think he'd yell at you for it?

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Adachi waved a hand vaguely. ]

I dunno how he'll take it, really. I dunno if he'd find it offensive or he'd be upset for a different reason or not.

[fourlevels]

He'd be upset that you died if he's upset by anything.

[sleight_of_hand]

[ He seriously doubted that, but he wasn't going to argue with Viktor on that point. ]

Yeah, and when he's upset, he yells. I don't think either of us have the energy for that right now.

[fourlevels]

[ Viktor gives a hum of acknowledgement, leaning down into one last stretch. ]

I don't think he'll yell, not for a while yet.

[sleight_of_hand]

Maybe not, but...

[ Adachi sighed, moving to do the same. ]

...I'm still a source of irritation for him. I don't want to add to it.

[fourlevels]

[ Viktor sighs too. ]

Alright, I'll ask and not push him.

[sleight_of_hand]

Thanks... sorry to bug you about it.

[ One day they'll get along... maybe. ]

[fourlevels]

You're not bothering me with it, Tohru.

[ He pulls out of the stretch he's in, getting to his feet. ]

Oh, did I tell you that we have a new housemate?

[sleight_of_hand]

Hunh, really?

[ It is about that time for new people to start showing up... ]

Who is it?

[fourlevels]

His name is Hajime, young like Yura. He's a—singer? What do they call them in Japan ... An idol, I think he said?

[sleight_of_hand]

Ahhh... idol boy, hunh?

[ He paused. ]

Hey, you have someone right with you to help with music!

[ ...he may have to steal them. And Viktor's music player. ]

[fourlevels]

[ Viktor blinks like he hadn't even considered it. ]

Ah?

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Adachi flashed him a bright grin. ]

Oh c'mon, Viktor; some idols are insanely talented, and aren't just at the whim of their contracts. I've caught Risette coming up with lyrics when she didn't realize I could hear her.

[ He reached over, nudging at Viktor. ]

When you decide to do shows again, you can totally ask them to make music for you.

[fourlevels]

Oh. Oh.

[ Now Viktor gets it, swaying slightly with the nudge. ]

I wouldn't have the funds to pay them though, not like I did back home for commissions. If they're even interested in doing it.

[sleight_of_hand]

Eh, just talk to them about it. If they're for it, I can foot the bill.

[fourlevels]

Ah, why you?

[sleight_of_hand]

Because I have more money than I know what to do with?

[ Seriously, he thought they established this? ]
