Trash Squad Day 8: Ouma Date

[truthstranger]

[Shuichi isn't entirely sure how much he should be treating a date with Ouma like a date, especially one where they're going to a burnt library full of dirty books, which they may or may not be reading together, depending on whether Ouma was being honest with that suggestion or not. Hard to say.

So far he's playing it safe and has brought some tea and onigiri. Can't hurt.]

I guess it's still a little musty in here, but there are some arm chairs, at least...

[ he dusts a bit of ash off one of the aforementioned armchairs ]

Didn't the people who came here before us do any cleaning up? I would've liked to see them put a little more elbow grease in it!

[ he doesn't look genuinely put out despite the complaint, though ]

[truthstranger]

Actually, Shinguji-kun said he did clean up a bit... there's only so much you can do when it's this burnt, though.

[smalltales]

Oh, really? Hard to tell. Well, no big deal either way! When you work in the underworld, you get used to having secret meetings in rundown places.

[truthstranger]

...Right. This isn't a secret meeting, though...

[smalltales]

Rendezvous? Close enough.

[truthstranger]

It's not really secret either. Ah, but that doesn't really matter.

[smalltales]

Not really! What matters is what happens during it.

[ giving the tea and onigiri a glance ]

So you came prepared, huh? Not bad.

[truthstranger]

Y-Yeah, I figured I could do something a little bit nice, even if the setting wasn't great.
