[ immediate understanding, and a soft smile. even if it goes both ways, sort of, he doesn't look like he thinks any different of marcoh for it, now that he knows. ]
Things can be really tough in the less affluent districts. Coene has a lot of the same problems, and I grew up there, too.
I'm glad you could defend yourself, and that eventually you didn't need to worry as much about money... I'm sorry things were hard for a while.
I'm an only child myself, though my partner is like an older brother to me at times. Adolphe and Monsieur Lucas both have younger sisters too, so I guess I just like hearing about family.
[ he sips some more at his drink ]
I think older brothers like you three who'd do anything for their sisters are really quite cool.
Ah! Well, I'm also the owner of a business called Courrune, where we take care of assorted jobs around town that people need help with. Repairs, babysitting, bodyguarding, you name it. Hugo's my partner there.
[ it's truly just (jpn voice) aibou
but also, teasing: ] So being cool comes naturally to you, Marcoh? Wow...
Unless there's a very rare case, Courrune only takes work orders that will improve people's lives and assist those in need. If anyone tries to pressure you to take something else, just send them to me and I'll handle it.
If you ever feel like I'm doing wrong by others, please let me know, too.

But he just accepts this too he knows things aren't black and white. ]
It is. I've never really known anywhere else.
no subject
Are there a lot of people there...? I'm sorry to hear that it also has its troubles, but I guess most places would...
no subject
I think troubles aren't uncommon but I grew up closer to the slums. There were lots of people always trying to beat me up.
no subject
What? But you're such a nice guy, Marcoh—not that some people really need a reason but...
[ guess those guys are the real thugs! ]
no subject
I also got beaten up for uh, trying stuff myself.
[ It somewhat goes both ways, sort of. ]
It's fine. I learned to fight them off.

Didn't really matter if it was me. I had to take care of my sister though.
no subject
Oh? Younger? Older?

I'm sorry he is not talkative me just adding this bracket so it's not a one word response tag. ]
no subject
it's okay, yves is talkative ]
What's her name? What's she like?
no subject
...Venere. She's inquisitive. Gets into trouble. But she's sweet.
no subject
[ though, because yves has a tendency to read body language pretty closely - ]
I can pick a different topic, if you'd like.
no subject
[ Once a baby sister always a baby sister. ]
Either is fine. It's just not that interesting.

no subject
[ It'd be weird to say partner (romantic) and that they're like an older brother, right? ]
... It just is how it is. I don't really remember anything else.

[ BENRIYA ]
I probably should've done something like that...
[ Wait what's he being praised for. ]
I'm not trying to be.
no subject
there's a little laugh now and he'll just reach out to pat marcoh's arm ]
Ahaha, so it really is that easy!
But I'm just playing with you. You could always join Courrune now, you know. I was thinking of opening it up again, if we're gonna be here a while.
no subject
I don't know that anyone can pay you though.
[1/2]
That's okay. I don't really need to be paid since I already have a roof and food.
But I like taking on jobs to help people, and it'd be nice to not let my skills get rusty.
no subject
Oh, but then I can't pay you...
no subject
I like to keep active.
no subject
In that case, welcome to the second branch of Courrune, Marcoh! I'm excited to be working with you!
no subject
I'll do just about anything except extortion and worse.
[ Like by all means. The chances that Yves will make him do that is low. But he seems to feel the need to say it anyway. ]
no subject
[ UH ]
No worries about that...
