[She seems satisfied with the selfie; how bothered this situation has made him isn't lost on her, but the fact he's even trying is good enough for her. He could very well have been a sourpuss and told her not to show up.]
Maybe. But he's always awake!
[She tells Kaneda, tapping a text away on her communicator and stepping back as to no longer block Kaneda from his cooking.]
[The smile softly fades from his lips, more so an involuntary action than anything as his neck cranes, watching the text send before turning back to his rice. It should be pretty rinsed by now, at least, and he drains the water very quickly to put in fresh water, pressing the button on the rice cooker to let it work its magic.]
I wonder if he just conserves energy by not raising his voice.
You can't compare me to you, that's two different leagues.
[Although his mind's more on the Valentine's Day part of that sentence, mind drifting off a moment as he remembers last year. Remembers that he HAD a Valentine's last year.]
That works.
I could use some more yellow shirts. I think most of em are all ripped again in at least one place.
action; I remembered I had a better reply to this while I refilled my soup

action;
You might be on to something there. He is awake.
[She informs him, tapping her reply to Riku quickly.]
But I heard he was kind of a brat when he was younger.
action;
[He stops, letting the thought sink in a moment.]
Maybe he cloned himself...
action;
[Another message, and...]
You wanna go to the mall with him again soon? He said we should all go hang out soon.
action;
[The question makes him pause, hand on the fridge as he hesitates in opening it.]
If you guys are up for it.
[He's still got some feelings he really needs to let out on one Ken Amada, but he'd definitely pencil that in before the outing.]
Re: action;
[She tells him-- and watches him hesitate.
Her brow twitches a bit, but otherwise she doesn't address it, returning to tap a reply to Riku.]
We'll go sometime next week then, or something. [they can sort it out at a not 4am time.]
It's February, right? Maybe after Valentine's day.

[She raises a brow, though, unsure if she should be OFFENDED or not-- and keeps texting Riku, since hey, he's awake.]
What do ya mean, different leagues, huh?
no subject
[And to elaborate on his point, he finger points at her.]
I'm just a simple guy trying to make my way in the universe.
You're the menace.
no subject
[She tells him, miming as though to bite that finger.]
But you're right. Simple's the perfect way to put it.
