[ ......... that's probably true, he's eaten ground jerky before. ]

Okay, but if something wasn't on the ground for the past two days, it resets itself and is fine to eat again.

[mmmmmmm]

Level with me, do you ever get sick? Just how fucking unfair is life?

Haha, of course I get sick~ What's the usual rate? A cold every other year? Or something like that~ Isn't that what they say, though? Idiots don't catch colds~

[ Not very often and never very badly, which is a plus in his favor considering he probably had an anti-vaxxer mother, who wouldn't bring him to a hospital or clinic if it meant other people could see the cuts and bruises all over his body when he was little. Eating weird things aside, he made sure not to get sick for that express reason of never needing to go to a hospital, and even after daemon contracts happened, the habit of taking care of himself stuck in that manner. ]

Ugh, is that fucking a thing? No wonder...

[Come to think of it, his healthiest years were the ones he was riding with his last friend group, hitting things (property things, not junkyard things) with bats.]

Well, as long as some of the fucking laws of the universe apply to you, I guess I'm good with that.

Gravity still has a hold on me, last I checked, but I'm working on something to counter that~ Death will probably be pretty soon, but— ah, there's taxes, right? I won't ever pay taxes!

[ Even if he manages to get a job, he'll resort to tax evasion. Toki's promised to bail him for everything outside of murder, after all, so he isn't afraid. ]

[WORRYING...little antigravity space crickets. gross.]

Yeah, yeah. Not fucking surprised. [He taps his bat against his toes before looking around.] Got some good shots. Anything else you wanna do?

[ What's worrying is what Kano has in his possession: a rune that hurtles the user two kilometers into the air for them to plummet back to earth, it was not fun times the last time he had to use it. ]

Hm, hmm~ What to do?

[ His pockets are satisfied and so is he, so Kano starts off towards the exit. ]

It'll be that, right? Let's get ice cream on the way home~

[It'll be that... like that's that? or it'll be That? things are so suspicious...!

And...ice cream... He sighs and shakes his head.]

Yeah, fine, even though it's too cold for ice cream. [And ice cream is too sweet... Maybe they can find a place with something weird like mint or coffee where it won't just be sweet.]

[ Like that... Like something in Kano's own internal monologue he keeps to himself and doesn't share with the rest of the world, along with why right now in the middle of winter is the perfect time to get ice cream. ]

Yessssssss~ Spot me, okay? I'll pay you back someday!!

Yeah, you can say that as much as you want, but it won't make me believe it more?

[He was fully expecting to pay for it, don't worry.]

Aw, what would it take for you to believe me? One day, I'll strike it rich! I'll even write you into my will- how's that? A whoooooooole... 0.4%!!

[ Almost half, but it's got to be an even number so he can keep it divisible by two. ]

Wow, a whole 0.4%? Fuck me, I should just stop working and kick back, getting ready to soak in my riches.

[He claps him on the back playfully before crossing the bat in a bar across his shoulders and heading back towards where he left the backpack so they can get it and go.]

That's right, you should just quit your job! Then you'll have more time to play with me!! I'll support you into old age, so you don't have to worry about that at all!!

[ Rather than trotting off behind Maverick, Kano makes a beeline for the exit and just slows his pace enough for Mav to catch up after making the detour. No offer to help carry the backpack that holds mostly his goods... ]

[Again...he expected this. Besides, the snacks are out now. That...helps. Barely.]

Mm, I'll get right on that, cricket... Am I really the only asshole that plays along with you, that you're so insistent about hanging with me?

[because like...why else would he]

[ I'm staring at Kano's CR chart and yeah... there really is nobody else that Kano actively seeks out to play with. Nana invites him out to things sometimes, and Yuya is fun when they happen to run into each other, Toki... is Toki. Minako is happy and making friends and Kano absolutely refuses to get in the way of that. And now, Ellie is gone, so he's got to find somebody else to cling to. Sorry, Mav, you're being clung to. ]

That's how it is! Nobody else wants to play at three in the morning, so it's gotta be you!!

[That's so depressing... Like, he could do worse, but also please love yourself???]

"Wants to" is a hot fucking take, but I get what you mean. [Probably. But yeah, there's a difference between wanting and being willing. Got a bit more fuzzy these days, when it came to Kano...not that he's going to be telling him that.] Well, I can't sleep worth shit anyway, so I might as well be keeping you out of someone else's fucking hair and happy.

[ Kano loving himself would be him lounging around Maverick's room as a cat and living the good, no-obligations life; there is no loving himself as a person. ]

Are you still having trouble sleeping? I could help you with that? I've got two tried and true methods~

[ Method one involves just not sleeping until you've gone three days awake and then you start hallucinating and then you crash.

Method two involves a sledgehammer and I feel like I made this joke two years ago with Minato and it just goes to show that I really only play one character type and that's people with a terrible sense of humor. ]

[Maverick is very open to Kano loving himself through cathood tbh.]

Yeah, something tells me I won't rest any fucking easier after hearing these methods of yours. [He says it with a laugh, at least, before shaking his head.] It's just a thing that fucking happens, I'm used to it. Still doing good enough to put up with you on outings like this, huh?

Haha... You're talking like a first time father taking his toddler to the park despite being dead asleep on his feet. No wonder you're grouchy~ A thing that fucking happens doesn't mean it's good and you should accept it, you know?

[ He takes a couple huge lunges forward so he can spin around with enough distance in between them to be impressive. ]

So, it's decided! We're going to eat a lot of ice cream, and you're going to have a sugar crash!!! That's our plans for the rest of the day~

You basically are a fucking toddler.

[Concerning and loud basically all the time, with a need for attention, but...sometimes even the grumps can admit he's cute. Yep. Toddler is fitting.]

I don't really do sugar crashes. How about you sugar crash and I get wasted? That's a thing dads do, I can keep up his charade.

[ No........ the last time he had to babysit somebody who was drunk, Kano almost drowned him, he doesn't want to be responsible for Maverick's death. But if it's an alternative to ice cream-- ]

How 'bout something like a beer float? Like a root beer float, but without the root?

[ Would that taste good at all??? he has no idea. Maybe if it were something like vanilla ice cream and one of Yuya's fruity vodkas. ]

[The difference is that Maverick actually drinks and isn't an idiot.]

I mean, if I'm fucking forced to include ice cream, yeah, whatever, drown it in a crapload of stout.

Then that's what we'll do~ You've got to choke down at least two scoops before we go home, okay!?

[ Off he goes!! He won't know the best place to get ice cream, but he knows the cheapest, the place with the crunchiest waffle cone which is unarguably the best part about ice cream anyways, which he's going to crunch on plain while he makes Maverick pour beer over his. ]

[HE'S NOT GONNA POUR BEER INTO A CONE HE'D HAVE TO BE DRUNK ALREADY TO DO THAT]

Like scoop scoops or spoon scoops?

[ Kano will pour beer into Maverick's cone. ]

Like scoop scoops. You know, with the-

[ He opens and closes his hand, which is supposed to him using an ice cream scooper, the kind where you press the thing on the side and the scoop slides out, I don't know how to describe it. ]
