[The video feed cuts on with Gokudera sitting in a tattered living space. It looks like a giant cat has been using every piece of furniture as a scratching post.]

Is there a daycare somewhere in this place? Parents that miss looking after children? One of the kids from my world showed up. He’s five, and a pain in the ass. The Tenth and I have to go to school, so we need someone to look after Lambo while we’re unavailable.

[He clearly has his hands full. There’s a real leopard living in his little apartment, and he has his job and school. Lambo can’t be cooped up all day while he furthers his education. He’s considered no longer going to classes, but he’s not Lambo’s guardian!

Even if he’s been acting like it for a bit now, and trying to be sneaky about it.]

Someone who thinks the kid is going to get work there???

[Your world is crazy, Gokudera.]

I have my own brother to look after anyway.

[bakudan_bambino]

He’s five. We just tell him he’s working for us so that way he doesn’t feel excluded! Regardless, he is not my responsibility! He’s a tiny pain in the ass!

[Very crazy]

How old is he?

[corruptedsave]

That seems like a stupid thing to do, you shouldn't humor children like that.

[Says a child.]

Older than five but younger than me.

[bakudan_bambino]

Not my kid, not my problem.

[Gokudera shrugs, shakes his head.]

I lived alone, back home. I never had any part of his involvement in our work.

[He lifts an eyebrow.]

You look after him?

[corruptedsave]

And yet here you are asking for help to deal with him.

[Chara doesn't get the logic here.]

We watch after each other, but yeah I do. I gotta make sure no one hurts him.

[bakudan_bambino]

I’m helping my boss look after him. I’ve never looked after a stupid kid before and won’t presume to know what I’m doing.

It’s good he’s got someone looking out for him.

[corruptedsave]

Why can't your boss ask? Or do you do everything for your boss?

[bakudan_bambino]

Because I did before he could get a chance to.

I don’t do everything for my boss, but I do a lot.

[The most, in fact.]

[corruptedsave]

Your boss sounds like he's worthless then.

[bakudan_bambino]

Everyone is entitled to their own stupid opinions.

[corruptedsave]

I hope you're not trying to set an example for your kid! Going right to name-calling over me stating a fact.

[bakudan_bambino]

No you don’t. Also he’s little fucking idiot, not my kid, and you clearly don’t know my boss so your opinion is just that, not a fact.

It is a fact that you have an opinion. Everyone has them, but yours is stupid and wrong.

[corruptedsave]

Man, I pity anyone you have to work with if words get you this upset. And I pity that kid too, I hope they ruin your life.

[bakudan_bambino]

You’d like to think that, and I’ll let you.
