[he catches the lip twitch, but it's admittedly why he doesn't linger a long time on the topic. takeru doesn't use one - and that's not something mineo's missed, given the fact that everyone was given a gun after lockdown.]
... at least think about it. It's not bad to take any chance to increase your chances of staying safe - at least until I can come and protect you.
[because he'd do his best, any time takeru ran into trouble]
[to give takeru even the bare basics against dealing with people in violent situations. if he can even buy himself just a little bit of time then maybe -
. . . . no, he'll have to do better than maybe.]
... I'm not looking down on you or anything - I know that I can't. [not when takeru is smarter than him, more capable than him in so many ways] But we work together, so I'll at least try to cover you in the areas that I can.
[ it physically pains him to agree to any of this.
but, they're both in an unknown place with none of their usual resources, surrounded by a lot of strangers who may be more willing to dirty their hands without hesitation than they are. he needs to approach things differently here. ]
Fine. [ he shifts the subject elsewhere, so he doesn't have to respond to the uh. mushier stuff. ] Does anyone here stand out to you?

it's so obvious that he still hates it, but being told that..... sobers him up a little.]
.... I'll work on it.
[even if it's so begrudging]
no subject
[ if fucking is meant to be a thing here at least be less of a bottom ]
no subject
... really probably should've thought it through before I just accepted the chance, huh? [a beat] But even if I did, then...
[he leans against the counter, crossing his arms]
... anything in the fridge? We can't really rely on Yanagi-senpai anymore....
no subject
It's fine. I'll just use the vending machine.
[ he will make zero effort to cook ]
no subject
looks at the vending machine
and then back to takeru
and smiles, slow and sure]
... do you not know how?
no subject
[ that's not a yes or no ]
no subject
To have a mastery of an art that Takeru doesn't.... Is this what it means to have a rush of power?
[you make gourmet instant ramen]
no subject
If something like this is enough to give you a rush, you must have a really unfulfilling life.
no subject
Let me enjoy it for even a second!! But you know all that junk food is probably why you're so short, you know?!
no subject
Are you indulging in stupidity? Is turning your brain off winning you points?
no subject
Why is it always the height that gets you the most?! Chill out! You're fine the way you are! Mercy, mercy!
no subject
[ mineo death w0
but he wanders over to examine some of the other real fancy appliances. ]
no subject
[petulantly - and also he'll give sasazuka some dinner later after omi teaches him how to cook some, that's canon now.
he's just crossing his arms]
... it's all pretty modern, isn't it? But people still felt like taking all the knives...
no subject
I understand why, but it doesn't paint a good picture to start out with.
no subject
[and he just sighs a bit]
... there's a couple that are accounted for, at least. Between uh... Vira-san? And Omi-san borrowing Molly-san's. White-san's too.
Did you grab one?
no subject
[ unlike everyone fucking else in this game, takeru is a good boy. :/ ]
You?
no subject
[he'll shift his coat where he's definitely just got his gun in his holster. then he'll let it fall back to cover it]
So I didn't really need one.
... But if that's all people have got, I can teach you how to disarm someone in case anybody tries anything funny?
no subject
... hm.
[ that's not a yes or no ]
no subject
... at least think about it. It's not bad to take any chance to increase your chances of staying safe - at least until I can come and protect you.
[because he'd do his best, any time takeru ran into trouble]
no subject
[ ... ]
But it wouldn't hurt to know some things.
