Dazai, if you need to strike deals to get it I'm pretty sure that means it's illegal. [ You were just charged with possession, sir!!

That's not the meat of what's being said, though. People are gone--people plural? He already knew about Chuuya's sudden disappearance, was there another? Someone who'd effect the man this much, hm...

He folds his arms on the counter, looking less like a scolding schoolmarm for a moment. ]

There are still people here who'd like to see you taking better care of yourself.

[nullificates]

Says who? Maybe it was for payment. I happen to have no money, you know?

(of course sigma knows. what he gets from lupin is simply enough for him to live, he doesn't care beyond that. everything is shared amongst the others.

but, the drink is nice against his long fingers, and he scoffs, a little, more fondly and helplessly than anything else.)

I'm alive! Pretty enough, considering all odds, right? Ah, anyway. Why are you here so late?

[ticket218]

[ Ah, there it is. The 'this conversation is over' redirect. Pushing further now probably wouldn't be worth it, so the only protest he'll give is a resigned eyeroll. ]

I was brainstorming seasonal drinks. Shiomi-san has been keeping very good notes on what you've been teaching her.

[nullificates]

Ah, the best kiddo. The people who work here are quite special, aren't they? I'm glad this place exists.

(lets him keep an eye on all of them at the same time.)

Smokes... Where are my smokes?

[ticket218]

Mm, you've found very good people here.

[ He isn't as familiar with all of them, but they do their best to keep the place running and have never given him any trouble, so.

Besides, despite everything he trusts Dazai's judgement. ]

Are they not in your pockets?

[nullificates]

No... Booth. Sigma... Can you get me the smokes... So unmotivated...

(crying in DAZAI IN ADA COUCH AFTER MISSION)

[ticket218]

[ And right back to the stick. ]

It's not that long a walk.

[nullificates]

I'd break my legs.

[ticket218]

Your legs are fine.

[nullificates]

SO. UNMOTIVATED. SIGMA.

[ticket218]

I WILL PUSH YOU OFF THAT STOOL. DAZAI.

[nullificates]

PLEASE BE NICE, I'M SAD.

[ticket218]

[ uuuuuUUUUUUUUGH fine. He said himself it's not a long walk so he's going, he's going. ]

[nullificates]

Thank youuuu, Sig. I might have one more mission for you, if you don't mind? For later.

[ticket218]

A mission the same degree as walking a few feet?

[nullificates]

Few meters, actually. Could you be the greatest! And get my clothes out of my house, please?

[ticket218]

[ Dazai doesn't have to be facing Sigma to feel the concern from that look he shoots his way.

Not saying anything about it, though. Yet. ]

Mm, that sounds simple enough.

[nullificates]

(no worries. he felt it when sigma first saw him.)

Thanks, you're the best! ♥

[ticket218]

[ Gently setting the cigarette packet down, ]

If I get you a pillow too, will you at least consider sleeping in a booth instead of at the counter?

[nullificates]

(for all the genius he is, he's such a child. once the pack is back in his hands, he'll delicately place a stick between his lips, lighting with ease and puffing his dissatisfaction through his nose.)

Will you accept it if I consider it and decide not to?

[ticket218]

I may not be pleased, but I won't press the issue any further.

[nullificates]

(with his free hand, he reaches to touch the strands of lomg hair, a gesture of appreciation.)

You'll grow older much quicker if you worry too much. Is that your plan? It's not like I can die or anything. You can relax, Sig!

[ticket218]

Not here, you can't.

[ Said like a professional worrier doing his damndest not to worry about just one thing in particular. With...mixed success. ]

Even so, you don't exactly make it easy to not worry about you even under the best circumstances.

[nullificates]

Worrying about me is a fruitless endeavor. It only serves to stress one out!

(he is who he is, after all.)

[ticket218]

I can't make you do anything you don't want to, you can't make me stop caring about your well being.

Seems we're at an impasse.
