Sou-ske-kun! [ there's a laughing quality to her tone but it's easy-going, familiar. ] I think it's funny: I know I see you around but I feel like I still don't know what you're up to.
Annnd I thought I should change that.
So!
[ a beat ]
How are you? Anything new? Oh -- how's Nike?
[ how's your house, your 'family', etc. she had been waiting to just ask when they hung out in-person but their schedules seem to criss-cross a lot, so no time like the present. what are phones for otherwise, right? right. ]
I'm a secretive kind of guy like that. Hard to keep track of.
[He knows that's not true; it's more that there's not really anything to be kept track of lately, in his mind. Sousuke's smiling into the phone when he answers, though, and it carries in his voice.]
Nike's good. He had the time of his life at the Halloween dance, I think, and one of my housemates treats him like a king. Spoiled rotten.
Ah well. It's good that you live with someone who's a dog-lover though, don't you think? Pets are family. A little spoiling isn't a bad thing. Any other animals in your house?
Wait ---job?! Mmm I don't think me mentioned it....but...anyways, where? Doing what?
Kuroko-kun's a good kid. Guy. He's not that much younger than me. [Which is weird but he's adapting.] Nike's the only one so far. The other dogs vanished but that's probably for the best, he didn't like them.
There's a motorcycle shop here, Kinagase's. He needed counter help and even though I had a job here before, I wanted to do something different, so I'm working there. It's not very busy but I like it.
[He's talking about himself a lot. That's kind of rude.] What about you? Are you working here?
I'm glad you're living with someone nice. I mean, everyone I've met here seems on the nice side so maybe that's just a thing? But still.
Motorcycle? That's pretty cool. You going to learn how to ride one too?
[she shakes her head, a half smile.]
Ah no. I had an offer from my previous employer....er I think she was...is anyway. But I kept getting distracted. I'm keeping my eyes open for something that appeals to me, but right now it's school.
[and swimming lessons but she leaves that out for now...]
Yeah but if they weren't I could just move out. Or make them move. They're the kids according to the lease.
[He wouldn't, they were here first, but he has a reputation to pretend to maintain because Gou knows better.]
Maybe eventually. I'd need to save up to buy one to learn on so it'll probably be a while. ... Don't tell Rin.
[Somehow he can't see Rin taking that idea well. They're not exactly the safest thing in the world.]
That's for the best. School's more important and it's not like you need the money here. You've got to be done pretty soon though, considering we're all done.

Oh, and I got a job. Dunno if Rin told you.
