but i hope you know you're not in for anything particularly interesting here. mizuki is usually the only person i text. and it's usually at a ridiculous hour.
it's still better if you can and you don't than if you can't and you want to or something 🤷 and it's not like I sleep www you can always poke me if *you're* bored, I make a point of keeping busy with interesting things 👍
[ ...nailed it! that didn't sound needy or lonely at all— ha ha ha, who is she kidding. it's kind of embarrassing, really; going around being constantly overlooked is old hat, so she has no idea why she's having problems with it now—
well. all right. that might have something to do with the part where when she isn't overlooked it's usually by people who see her as a fancy electronic instead of even an incompletely sapient AI. ugh, no wonder she latched onto Aoba. ]
[ Aoba is still fighting a sleepy headache, drowsy in that dulled-senses kind of way, but despite all of that and even though he has to read her messages a few times, the feeling that suddenly grows in his chest is poignant. ]
you've got a habit of showing up whenever i'm bored, but you're right. this is definitely a more convenient way of getting a hold of you. less dangerous for my fingers, too.
[ He'd hate to embarrass her, so he'll keep it like this for now. But it goes without saying that he sees her, that he can understand where she's coming from. Feeling lonely is a feeling he wouldn't wish on anyone. ]
go on then, what are you keeping yourself entertained with now? other than laughing at my suffering, i guess.
[ Okay, so he'll definitely be one of the first people to tell her not to do something that could get her in trouble, but in this situation where his brain feels like how nails on a chalkboard sounds, and he considers himself in desperate need of a distraction.. he supposes that asking her for more details can't hurt. It might even keep her out of trouble.
What it definitely will do, is soothe the curious part of Aoba that's perked his ears up. ]
are you listening in on a meeting or something?
[ There's a long list of things that Kaiko could potentially find boring, so.. he's just guestimating something easy. ]
[ Logistics.. Even boring logistics can be dangerous in the wrong (or right) hands, or when pcked up by the wrong (...or right) pair of ears, and though Aoba trusts Kaiko to be able to hold her own, he still more often than not discourages her more daring feats of boredom killing. The word logistics seems to tell a little too much about the potential type of people she's eavesdropping on, which sets Aoba's alarm bells ringing. ]
if it's so boring, maybe you should give it up?
[ Spoken like a true couch potato, Aoba, thanks. ]
it's not exactly an effective use of your reconnaissance abilities if you're wasting time talking to me instead of listening, right?
wow aoba!!! I know I'm not top of the line but my specs aren't so low I can't multitask
[ ...they technically should be—her brain is still human enough—but she's been using the Allmate body long enough to know exactly how to use its processing power as if it were her own. carrying on a conversation while listening to another isn't a problem.
(which is a little worrying, frankly, but she tries not to think about that. she can still separate from this body and she can still feel the tug of her shrines back home, so it's probably fine. hopefully.) ]
anyway just because it's boring doesn't mean it isn't important unfortunately
oi!! that wasn't what i was saying at all!! don't put words in my mouth!
[ He's mostly putting himself in Kaiko's shoes, and knows full well that there's no way he'd be able to listen to a conversation and type to someone at the same time without getting one or both muddled up. So really, he's calling himself low-spec. Which, compared to Kaiko and her AllMate body, isn't exactly untrue. ]
hm, hey. remind me why you're eavesdropping again?
[ not a friend, or even an acquaintance. really, with how much he doesn't trust her she should have given up on using that man— but the day she can ignore a vendetta like that is the day she no longer recognizes herself, really.
...also, the thought of taking Toue out at the knees with the consequences of his own cruelty is really satisfying. there's nothing like helping bring bad karma home to roost.]
they could use the info even if they think they're above asking for my help www

just some shady business negotiations. you'd think that would be kind of exciting but most of it is logistics
