[Yona tries to hide her laughter, but a little pfft! escapes anyway.]

...what do you want to buy, anyway?

[soulus]

[Don't laugh.]

Is that important right now?

[dawnblushed]

Well... maybe not, but I can't help but be curious.

[soulus]

I would buy ammunition, of course.

[dawnblushed]

...is it really that expensive?

[soulus]

Guns are useless without ammunition. It's important to keep them loaded.

[dawnblushed]

So you work all the time so you can... afford to keep your guns loaded?

[soulus]

Without a working gun, it would be that much more cumbersome to fulfill my contracts.

[dawnblushed]

...so you work... so you can have your guns loaded... so you can keep working?

[soulus]

Yes.

[dawnblushed]

...that's kind of circular, you know?

[soulus]

That's the nature of the job. Ammunition may cost money, but the rewards from taking on contracts add up over time.

[dawnblushed]

...but you just spend all those rewards on more ammunition.

[soulus]

No. Some of the reward is spent on ammunition. I don't spend the rest.

[dawnblushed]

...so you just hoard it?

[What is he, a dragon?]

[soulus]

[Stop calling him a dragon.]

Was that not enough to sate your curiosity? What I do with it isn't important.

[dawnblushed]

It's important to you, though, isn't it? Or else you wouldn't be using it. I want to understand you better.

[soulus]

There is nothing to understand, nor does it have any bearing on the Realm's affairs. Please let it go.

[dawnblushed]

[Yona pouts.]

...you said please, so I guess I have to.

[soulus]

[Silence hangs in the air as he sits on his reply. Eventually he decides against saying anything, leaving the conversation to end there, and stands up.]

I will return before the night ends.

[It's the same as always—he wants to move around before he rests.]

[dawnblushed]

All right... take care.

[And then she falls asleep waiting for him to come back and they both wake up in different rooms on Monday!]
