We share a room. We also share a room with Ji-chan.
[She's just.... pitying him so much. There's so much pity it pushes away her ordinary reaction of amused laughter. She's found someone even more innocent and delicate than Yoichi. That's a huge achievement.]
I don't mind the obvious burning smell in our room, but how close are you to bankruptcy right now?
[There's a long pause on his end, just like he was struggling with his thoughts. It's most likely the case, because the thing he asks of her is rather morally questionable.]
Could you...have look through Jiroutachi's things?
[He feels ashamed of asking about something like that, but on the other hand, he's not going to accuse someone without a proof. He could but...he always considered Jirou rather playful but harmless.]
I'll ask the chief, maybe he'll let me prepare meals for myself on Mondays.
[Ah...he didn't expect that she would take it so personally.]
I-It's not that! It's just...just... [What is it Gil.] Uh, I'm sorry. Truly sorry.
[Just a short while later, he presses play and finally listens to the recording. The line remains open, so Shinoa may listen to it with him no problem. Not that she has to, but...
When it reaches the end, Gilbert is so thankful that the girl can't see his face. His cheeks are flushed and burning hot and while he's not crying, he looks like he may burst into tears in any moment.
What is he even supposed to say? He feels like an idiot who he is.]
T-Thank you, Shinoa. I-I'll make it up to you, I promise.
Shinoa had been prepared to start teasing him. Truly, it would have been terrible. But now Gil-chan is so sad and wrecked, and she finds she doesn't have the heart to.
There's silence at her end of the line too. She'd been snickering through the recordings, but when she speaks again her voice is a lot softer.]
Aww. Do you want a hug? If you're near our room you can come get a hug.
no subject
Where do you think he gets so many them? Besides, even if the first few weren't his, why wouldn't he want to keep obtaining your nudes for more booze?
An artist who's drawn as much as you've burned is either obsessed with you, or is essentially printing all the money he wants to buy alcohol from you.
Gil-chan, really.
no subject
[There he is, thinking that no one saw him when he was setting the fire to said nudes. OR MAYBE...]
Have I left one behind?! Shinoa, please, you have to burn it...no one can see it!
[Please bear with him, Shi-chan.]

[Instead of making stories up he could just...sit down and think for a moment. He could, but nah.
He's going to cherish the achievement he unlocked on a later notice, though. That's for sure.]
I can't tell you.
[Meaning: 0 Colle. Thanks to the pack of cigarettes he has bought before.]
I'm fine, really.
no subject
...
You're broke, aren't you?
That's not fine at all. You're going to have to eat Monday's menu from the cafeteria now that you can't eat out, did you consider that??
no subject
Are you in our room by any chance?
[Well, a draft should be enough of a proof, so maybe if he could get one...]
Ugh, maybe a little.
[How can you be a little broke in the first place. Either you are broke or not, Gil.]
I'll just skip meals on Mondays, it's not the end of the world.
no subject
[She has so much confidence in him.]
Starving is no light matter, Gil-chan. What if we get an attack on a Monday and you're starving and faint in the middle of a fight?

You'd believe him over me????
[uh oh you made shi-chan angry]
It just so happens that I do have evidence. You owe me too, now!! I can't believe you won't trust me!!

[Who let this man out unattended.]
no subject
Truth to be told, he needs hugs. Million of them, preferably, but it's not like he's going to admit this.]
Maybe...maybe later.
[It's not an outright "no", at least.]
This...of all things that happened to me this is the worst.
no subject
Like right now.
no subject
[It was definitely something more than just being caught off guard, but he's trying to save what remains of his dignity...isn't it too late, though.]
No, I just hoped that someone I know from back home was doing it. I'm an idiot.
[He knows that much.]
