[ Somewhere around town-- at the bookstore, the Tomoe-Kaname Bakery, attached to posts and notice boards --you find a small white notecard. On it is printed a little message and some numbers in ornate lettering. If you look closely, it reads the following: ]

[ SITTING ON THE FLOOR IS DIFFICULT because he's always sitting.

Is Rohan standing????? Is he sitting????? What is he doing??

For now he follows suit by the table and coils up with his elbows resting upon one of his coil rings. ]

I don't look that different. The scales on my face and the whole bit where I lost my eyebrows is about it. I miss some of the clothes I used to wear, but I have made replicas since. I am just one of those people who learned to adapt quickly. I have always had to.

It's why I paint, draw, run a store, do commission work, and run a household all at once. I don't believe in coasting through situations. It is actively adapting and keeping myself ahead of the game.

[ The tea smells nice. So he reaches for it. ]

I try to set a good example, you know?

[...for some reason, he feels like Rohan's telling him something by saying all of this. He's actually listening though, surprisingly looking as though he's paying attention. He gives a couple of nods at the end of Rohan's small explanation, and reaches to grab a beer and pop it open.]

So you're like Choromatsu.

[Osomatsu'll just take a nice chug from the can with a satisfied "pahhhh" afterwards, before he wipes off his mouth on his sleeve and gets back to the conversation at hand.]

He's always nagged us about getting jobs and moving out and whatever else... kinda felt like he needed to be responsible even though we literally had no reason to at home.

I have had this conversation with Karamatsu before. [ He points out while setting himself up with a cup of tea.

Which he has given up on with his hands. All of this is done with his tail, daintily picking up and pouring and bringing it to his own hands without spilling it. It's like a third hand. ]

I feel that somebody in every household needs to be the spur in the sides of the others. Regardless, this isn't about jobs or standards of living again. We were getting to know each other outside of that professional business, right?

Yeah, yeah okay. You're right.

[They don't need to start up an argument when they know they're preeeeeeeeetty opposite about that kind of thing anyway...

...maybe he'll just take another drink.]

So.... you said something about drawing, right?

That's right. [ A little sip from his cip. ] I am a mangaka back at home but since that isn't really a thing here, I paint and draw for pocket change. My shop doubles as a gallery.

How do you feel about art? I know that Karamatsu loves it. Any hobbies of yours you would like to share? I don't think he has mentioned a thing about anything the rest of you do.

I like art!

[That actually gets a small grin spread on the Matsuno's face, and he points with one of his claws towards a photograph of a smiling man hanging up on their wall.]

That guy up there? He's a famous mangaka who uh.... [literally created osomatsu] ...gave a lot to me and my brothers.

[He lowers his hand, so he can take yet another sip from his drink.]

I kinda suck at anything creative myself though.. guess my hobbies would be I dunno.. drinking? Playing pachinko?

[He's as useless as you have him pegged for, Rohan.]

I know a lot about racetracks and horses if that counts for anything?

Drinking and pachinko...

[ Yeah that's... As sad as it sounds. ]

Those aren't hobbies. They cause temporary escape and pleasure. That isn't the definition of a hobby...

Well then what do you think a hobby is, huh?

[LISTEN..... HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY SPECIAL SKILLS OR ANYTHING OKAY...]

I mean aren't they just stuff you do to waste time?
