[Nobody can complain about Tsukasa when they let him get away with this.]

It always works out anyway, doesn't it? [No, Tsukasa, that's literally just how it is for you.]

Do you feel bad it didn't work out the way you wanted it to? Well, that's normal. Sometimes you can try really hard and it doesn't work out! But you'll keep trying because that's who you are, right?

[i_peace]

[Tsukasa rolls with the punches enough that even when it doesn't work out, it still works out]

... You know... Sometimes Tsukasa-kun sounds much more mature than he is. [he gives the younger boy a lopsided smile] It would be nice if you could stop trying to startle customers.

[Not Keiwa though, and you would think that by now he would know better than to leave that door open. Yet here they are... Luckily, Keiwa doesn't actually complain about Tsukasa much beyond "it would be nice if he stopped jumping out at me from around corners"]

[deadwishes]

Hm? It doesn't bother them too badly, though. They come back, don't they? [Versus how many customers have not wanted to come back because the gremlin thinks jumpscares are funny?]

But you feel a little better now, don't you? I can tell.

[And he does really like Keiwa. He'd really wanted to come over and see him.]

[i_peace]

I guess so... Still, it would probably improve their experience to not be startled while enjoying their coffee.

[he's making An Attempt]

Hmm... A little bit.

[he slowly finishes his remaining red bean soup as he talks]

I'll let your mother know if I can't come in to work in a couple of days. I wouldn't want anyone to catch anything if this isn't just Dream Sphere related headaches.

[deadwishes]

So when they're not drinking their coffee? Got it! [heard loud and clear, Keiwa!]

If you can't come, I'll go and visit you! [Terrifying.]

[i_peace]

Tsukasa-kun... [said the sort of exasperated but fond tone that a very patient teacher might have for an unruly student... That, or the tone of your typical cat owner complaining about their cat]

Hmm... It's not that I mind if you come visit, but it probably wouldn't be very interesting. More than that though... I don't want you or Amane-kun to get sick because of me.

[deadwishes]

I don't think you're sick. You just got a little scrambled! [That is a surprisingly nice way of him putting it?]

And I like seeing you. If I don't get to see you when you work then who knows when I will next. [Tsukasa did like Keiwa, for better or for worse. That could never be denied. He was actually a pretty affectionate kid...in his own ways.]

[i_peace]

[there's a quiet laugh at the 'scrambled' comment] Like an omelette?

[it's a good thing that Keiwa's so patient. He doesn't even think to point out that the way Tsukasa said it? Makes it sound like they might just suddenly never see each other again. It ought to be more concerning, but Keiwa's been working at Camellia long enough that the oddity doesn't bother him too terribly much]

That sounds a little ominous when you put it like that... Hopefully, it doesn't get that bad.

1/2

[deadwishes]

Yeah, your head is like an omelette right now! [and Tsukasa likes those so worse things for your head to be!]

Who knows? Anything can happen. But if you did just die then know I'd miss you a lot! [TSUKASA......]

2/2

[deadwishes]

[he laughs and pats at Keiwa again, as if he just told the funniest joke.]

But that won't happen! So you'll be okay and I'll see you no matter what.

[i_peace]

[how ominous...]

[Keiwa blinks a couple of times. Taken aback, maybe? It's been a year but Tsukasa is nothing if not unpredictable]

Heh. Hopefully not! [this is why Tsukasa gets away with things that he does, Keiwa needs to stop enabling the children...!!] But I still don't wouldn't want you to accidentally get sick. Your parents and Amane-kun would be worried for us both, after all.

[deadwishes]

I'm usually okay, though.

[that isn't to say Tsukasa never gets sick. he absolutely does. but it's much more of a rare sight for Tsukasa.]

But you're always so thoughtful. Mom will probably make you something yummy if you are sick and then I can give it to you!

[i_peace]

Hmm... If you say so...

[He hasn't known Tsukasa long enough to know whether that's an exaggeration or not. Keiwa will continue to be cautiously worried about the younger Yugi twin, thank you very much. But then he hears Tsukasa's suggestion and, true to the other boy's observation, has to (respectfully) wave that suggestion down]

Oh, she shouldn't trouble herself like that! Or ask you to do that. I can cook something myself, it's fine...
