You should quit. It's unhealthy. Especially the volume of cigarettes you consume.
[ Normally he wouldn't say anything - it would be hypocritical of him, all things considered - but she did open herself up to it. He says it lightly, though, knowing that she won't be quitting anytime soon. Of her vices, smoking is the one he's least concerned about. He's not going to pass up an opportunity to give her shit, though. It's not his instinct with most people, but it's how they seem to have fallen into step, speaking to one another with the sort of familiarity of those who have known each other for years instead of a scant few months.
Maybe it's just that few people are as inclined as Andromache is to joke around with him, liable to take his unmoving exterior as a lack of humour, a lack of warmth, instead of seeing what he's actually saying. It's not something that bothers him. If it did, he would try to change it as he did when he was younger. Nowadays, he's comfortable with it. It doesn't mean that it's not nice to have a relationship run counter to that, however, and he falls into step beside her neatly, comfortably, looking idly at the stall she's stopped in front of. ]
Oh! [ His eyes light with recognition. ] I ate here the day I arrived. It's where I met Kamui, in fact -- you've met him, I'm sure. He works at the 7/11 with me. [ It's been long enough that he almost feels nostalgic. ]
Nice kid. [ He knows Kamui is older than he looks. He thinks he's a nice kid anyhow. He nods at the stall. ] I'm up for it if you are.
