You did this all yourself? Seriously? [Wow that is.... Honestly impressive. But also ???? HOW DO YOU DO SOMETHING CLEARLY SO LABOR-INTENSIVE, her lazy ass wouldn't know.] Are you studying to be a fashion designer or something?
[Honestly that's a good question considering he's lazy in nearly all other aspects of his life that concerns manual labor.]
Mmhm! I mean, I had some help holding up the thicker parts of fabrics when I was doing draping or sewing, but the design is all me and the construction just needed a little help. [And then BEAMING AT HER QUESTION.] Bin-go! I'm actually back here on a scholarship for a company in Japan.
[Though... his smile does fade a little after that, considering "will I ever even get back to Japan" is a very real question.]
[She notes that, but she doesn't mention anything. As far as she's concerned, it's not really her business.]
This place is pretty good for scholarships, huh. [Not that she has personal experience with it herself, but she has a sister or two who got into Recolle U through scholarships.] How long have you lived in Recolle then?
Mm, yeah. I think that's why a lot of the people going here actually came in the first place, y'know?
["Because otherwise this is kind of a mediocre town", is what he'd finish that sentence with if he was feeling rude, but he'll let it slide for the moment.]
I moved here from Japan when I was a kid and then moved back in the middle of high school. It's been about a year since I came back here.
Mm... Sometimes, yeah! I miss some things, anyway. Like, their trains? So much better than ours or our buses. And the food there is always really good, too, even if the fruit here is waaay cheaper.
[Even in an AU, Zero can only have one kind of friend.]
I've never even left this place, so I'll take your word for it. Is cheap fruit really that important though? [Guess who lives off of extremely cheap and bad food like instant ramen all the time.....]
[ROSE PLEASE don't make Kiyomitsu start screaming about skin care regiments, it's awful, he won't shut up.]
Rich people? People who really want melons. Honestly, I'm not sure, but people were definitely buying 'em. Actually, they were given as gifts a lot, too.
[The type where she can't take a walk through their Sephora-equivalent without feeling the glare of every employee and customer..... It's a hard knock life.]
... They at least eat them after they get them as gifts, right? [Otherwise ??? JUST WHAT IS THE POINT OF MELON IN JAPAN.]
Like, you have to eat it, right? Or else, what, they just let it sit on their counter and rot?
[You can practically hear the ??? in her voice. She grew up poor okay, YOU CAN'T LET ANY FOOD GO TO WASTE especially something as (bizarrely) expensive as melon apparently.]
Right? That's what I'd do, anyway. Like, who's gonna come into your house to complain if you eat a gift melon you aren't supposed to eat? The melon police?
[WAVING A HAND DISMISSIVELY he laughs at your sad existence, melon police.]
Well, I'd want gifts that aren't melons in the first place, though. Like a cake or something.
Right, right? Though I guess you wouldn't have the satisfaction of fighting any police over cake. [Raising his shoulders... What a tragedy.] Hey— Speaking of! We've worked really hard to get this thing in here, so I think we deserve some cake, too. My treat as thanks, okay?
[They barely did anything but Kashuu is all about that minimal effort for maximum reward life.]
Good, good! Al-right, I'll just pack up here and we can get going, then.
[Fortunately, lowering the door again takes even less effort than opening it. She's getting free cake just for lifting a door, basically... Good work, team.]

YOU'RE TOO KIND TO ME!!!
ANYTHING FOR KAYE!!!

UWOOOOO!!!!

Sounds like a lot of back and forth. You miss it there?

NOW ITS MY TURN TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE DELAY
Yeah, totally. It's really good for you and helps your skin and stuff, y'know? But in Japan you have to pay like, twenty bucks for melons sometimes.
[SHAKING HIS HEAD... He also lives off of cheap food, but he's health conscious in the way someone who's used to working out would be.]

Who the fuck pays twenty bucks for a melon? Holy shit.

no subject
Were melons really popular or something? [It's just a fruit isn't it wtf.........]
no subject
That's the funny part! They weren't really popular outside of getting 'em as gifts. Watermelon were, but they were way cheaper than rock melon, too.

He's also just kind of quiet for a second, brow furrowing as he thinks this over.]
...Y'know, that's a good question. I never got a stupid-expensive melon for a gift, so I have no idea what people do? I mean, I'd eat it.

[COME AT HER MELON POLICE, she bets she could take them all on in a fight!!]
Now cake sounds like a real gift though. I'd take a good slice of tiramisu or opera cake over a melon any day.
