[ ......... did he really just-- was that. responsibility? in a video game?? where is the cute running around with an axe and a shovel in your pocket that she was promised. ]
its not like they gave me a choice i thought these games were supposed to be everything but responsibility
[ not that she particularly minds but... no, she minds. ]
[ that's just like sousei. some racoon thing shoves a big debt on him, and all he does is work to pay it off. like ludger, only with less murder probably.
okay… fine. if he can do it, so can she. but great four, texting him this was just a blatant confession of her tastes and likes, given she went out and got a copy of something she played with him… ]
no im just asking this to waste your time
[ !!!! ]
what is properly exactly
[ just… for science. not for this copy of the game that she doesn't have. ]
[Clear...ly...... this woman. He doesn't know what to do with her even now. There's a lull in the texting while he pries open a door for Oz, and starts poking around inside, but when he's sure there's no threat, he goes back to texting.]
was that intended to be funny. i don't enjoy wastes of time.
[WAS THAT A JOKE.... because obviously she has the game and tsun doesn't come through well over text message.]
collect things to sell such as fish, fruit and insects. plant fruit trees to harvest extra fruit.
[ sweet maxwell abe no sousei. it was tsun tsun sarcasm in an attempt to be less obvious about the obvious... yet it's still all so very obvious.
this woman, he thinks. this man, she thinks. though she knows he enjoys things--milla's been completely off in her assumptions of him, that she's aware of, yet in finding that out she has no idea what she thinks of him now. besides "soft" but that's.... whatever. ]
that sounds easy enough what about vegetables just fruit seems limiting
[ milla not!maxwell, considering dietary choices in a goddamn video game and moving on from jabs like it's no big deal. ]
[ ................ how does one...... enjoy that? sure there's more to the message but no, because he's specifically mentioned something he enjoys (finally) and it's
i mean, milla can't even believe this is real. she's-- just. ]
why
[ no seriously. right now there's just so much "why". why does tom nook want her to write a stupid letter? why is there only cherries in her town and nothing else? why are there hardly any flowers in her town like there was in sousei's?
He interprets it as an honest question, though he can...sense a little bit that there is some ????? behind that statement too. Still, so long as he thinks it's an honest question, he'll answer it honestly. It's not like this is some harmful, important thing.
It's just. Stamps.]
it is a hobby. i enjoy the meticulousness of it, as well as the amount of focus it takes.
they are also easy to collect, and relatively new to Japan.
what a straightforward answer... it's like she was actually expecting one, which she wasn't, because even if he breaks down the reasons for her in that rational way of his (as always), she still doesn't get the appeal.
and yet she can't be surprised. the image of sousei all focused over a stamp book, brows furrowed, doesn't escape her mind, and despite trying to rein it in milla smiles to herself in response. amusing. ]
you always answer those questions so seriously im sure they were all unbelievably organized did you have a favorite?
[ organized... unlike her current situation, where she's fumbling with the insect net she just bought by accident. probably hitting her villagers over the head with it. ]
[Is there any other way to answer questions...? He's not sure he gets it at all. He's not really a sarcastic sort of person; if he has any sense of humor, it's dry and wry. And yet...
A favorite?
That's not the first thing he would've thought of, himself, but... to each their own, he supposes. Still, it takes him a moment to think of how to answer.]
yes. [he wouldn't even begin to know how to google it up or attach a picture, so instead you just get--] a simpler stamp, simply depicting grey-black sakura petals.
[Not for any reason of the stamp itself, though it is clean and simple, and he approves of that. But sometimes, things happen--like a squad getting him a stamp, maybe--and he's...
Not a sap at all, no he isn't.
But if he had to pick a favorite...wouldn't that be it?]
[ .... 10/10 sap. there are no greater levels of sap than the sap that is abe no sousei. not that milla has any idea about the particulars--all she can imagine is the stamp from what he's described and, as far as she knows, that fits him.
well, besides one other particular response-- ]
i almost expected you to say you didnt have one
[ back to the game and-- oh shit one of the villagers isn't taking any more net in the face. ]
[ ....... well, considering he's asking, she's going to assume making them angry isn't an easy thing to do. so, she's socially inept in a video game alongside real life.
that's great. she can't tell him the truth-- ]
tomato omelettes
[ is what she says. first. as she makes up the lie, which is going to be a very believable: ]

no subject
[little does he know that there will just be MORE DEBT......which he will then uncomplainingly work on as well.
they have no idea what they've gotten into.

you obtained a copy of the game as well, then? [obviously. but. somehow, he's also entertained. Did she really like it that much....]
