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.
Mm. No problem. [ a reassuring nod - or at least, he hopes it's reassuring ]
You seem like a good guy to me, Marcoh. I know life can be complicated, and I do want to know your whole story but... I'd never want to ask you to do something you're not up for.
I hope you can be honest with me, and trust me when I say that at least.
[ Yves seems like a little bean to him with a fondness for some Phantom of the Opera shit. The way he's besties with at least two people he punched. But yeah he nods. Also finishes his mixed drink since I don't think I ever wrote he drinks out. ]

[ Once a baby sister always a baby sister. ]
Either is fine. It's just not that interesting.

[ 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.

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...

[ He looks a tad uncomfortable, but a bit more at ease. ]
Thanks. I will.

Thanks. I trust you too. [ whole-heartedly ]
How was your drink, though? Want another one?
no subject
[ Waits for you to tell me it was poisoned. ]
I'm okay, thanks. Maybe another time.
