No.

[And he closes the door.

Or tries to.

Please don't let him get away.]

_{[ OH GOD HE IS ONE OF THOSE STUCK UP TYPES ISN'T HE.
Katsura asserts a foot into the door before it can completely shut and owowow-- but he doesn't flinch. ]}

I prepared them all by hand. I beg of you. It goes for a good cause.

[Shit. The guy managed to keep the door open NOW WHAT......

Balefully, Sousei slowly opens the door again, eyes slightly narrowed.]

...What cause is there even here to raise money for?

_{[ We don't know. Nobody knows. It's a difference story at each apartment he makes his stop at. His mind is playing roulette to try and decide which excuse to use this time:
L*ssie, Come Home!
Handcuffed to the Toilet Incident
He*di of the Alps
Grandmother is Dying
My House Burned to the Ground While Cooking Curry
I'm Sick, Please Herpes Me

But he finally settles on this: ]}

—I need money so I can buy the last remaining Ooey-Gooey Ball so I may summon its dragon to resurrect my friend by wishing. It's at a pawn shop.

_{[ CONSIDER IT SOLD. ]}

[Slowly, Sousei blinks. But as little as there was in that entire sentence that he understood, he does understand when someone is being a pest.

really, really well.

He's used to this.]

You are wasting my time. Who are you, and why are you here? [YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY COOKIES, BRO]

Ah. I'm Katsura. My favorite food is soba, and I have good habits such as refilling the tee-pee when I use the last of it without being asked.

Here, let me show you some identification to ease your worry.

_{[ he sets the box down, WHICH IS FILLED WITH COOKIES TYVM, and Sousei can see that as the lid isn't closed. He pulls out from his haori sleeve a rolled up poster and opens it up:
*** WANTED ***
KATSURA KOTAROU
IF YOU SEE THIS MAN, HE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
PLEASE REPORT ANY SIGHTINGS TO THE POLICE.

— SHINSENGUMI, SPECIAL POLICE FORCE
followed by a rather impressive reward and a mugshot of him.

Katsura tips his head to his shoulder before rolling the poster back up and putting it in his sleeve. ]}

—Would you want cookies? You can look at them if you want.

[....... Kat...sura... right, Tenka's...friend. Sousei thinks he recalls Tenka bringing Katsura up once. But--

Then there's a wanted poster right in front of his face.

Sousei slowly stares at it. And blinks. And slowly arches an eyebrow.]

... I am a captain of a force committed to defending my country from threats. Were you aware of this fact?

[HE DOESN'T WANT YOUR COOKIES...... he's starting to wonder if he should try to arrest you, honestly, not buy your cookies.......]

_{[ OH MY GOD. OH MY GODDD???? ]}

_{[ The next previous icons convey Katsura's inner thoughts.
Which went a little something like:

W-What. It's my identification. Why does he feel this need to arrest me— ]}

_{[ I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING ILLEGAL HERE.
YET.
I DON'T THINK???? ]}

_{[ Well, there was that incident that involved stealing people's CYBuddies.. Their adorable paws. I couldn't resist. ]}

_{[ NO, CRAP. CRAAAAAP. WAS THAT IT? WAS IT THE PAWS? STEALING SOMEBODY ELSE'S PAWS. HOW DID HE FOUND OUT ABOUT THAT???
I RETURNED THEM. ALL OF THEM. ]}

_{[ EVEN THE LITTLE ONE WITH THE TINY FEET. IT WAS DIFFICULT, BUT I DID. ]}

_{[ PLAY IT SMOOTH, KOTAROU. YOU CAN GET THROUGH THIS. OFFICERS DON'T GOT ANYTHING ON YOU.
YOU'VE GOT THIS— JUST LIKE A REAL MAIN CHARACTER AND NOT A SUPPORTING CHARACTER THAT DOESN'T GET HALF AS MUCH MERCHANDISE AS HE DESERVES. ]}

_{[ His voice jumps an octave: ]}

Good afternoon, kind sir. I'm selling cookies for the girl scouts.
Do you mind helping me graduate to my next badge?

_{[ PERFECTION. ]}

[Patiently, he waits.

And waits.

And waits.

And then less patiently, he waits, fingers clutching the doorframe more tightly.

The pay-off is not worth it. Not. At. All.]

You are a terrible criminal. [A vague huff.] It is not my job to take you in, so respect for your friendship with Tenka, I will leave you be so long as you do not commit any crimes.

[...]

No, I do not want your cookies.

[...]

Still.

[amazing]

_{[ SAVED BY THE BROTHERHOOD. ]}

—They are really cute cookies, Officer-dono. You won't be disappointed.
_{[ sweating,,,,,,
still not sure how he found out about that CYBuddies incident. ]}

[Yeah, you should sweat.

Sousei's expression has not budged.

Slowly, he looks at the cookies.]

... [no, he thinks he knows what he can do with said cookies, actually, now that you mention it. But he can also tell that Katsura is speaking nonsense, so--]

What did you say your cause was?

It's so help my graduate to my next badge, sir~
_{[ curtsies ...
god that was gross. ]}

Though part of it goes to diabetes awareness.
_{[ he just makes this up as he goes along--
wait, selling sweets for diabetes awareness? ]}

[........... god that was gross

he moves to shut the door again. This is too much for him.]

No.

[TOO MUCH]

_{[ he allows the door to shut, and tips his head to his shoulder again. ]}

Haaaa— aah— I see. I will have to think of other salesman tactics.
_{[ seriously. Where is his merchant friend here to show him the ropes?
Then he yells: ]}

Make sure Tenka-kun gets a hold of these! And tell him to let me know if he likes them.

_{[ he's going to rummage through his box and try to find his favorite ones.... can't just leave without dropping off a present for Tenka-kun.... ]}

[There's a pause.

(Is this guy really still here.

Why isn't he leaving yet--)

And then, quite audibly through the door--]

Scram.

_{[ That tone and bold text merits no words, but Sousei can hear the pitter-patter of feet running off and— dang, he's really fast.

Here are the cookies left for Tenka ( not you. )
Just right there.. on the welcome mat on a little napkin. ]}
