[He squints when he hears that Nero is from Tamamo.]
But you don't look beautiful.
[What he means is that when he sees people from Tamamo they're usually dressed to the 9s and look amazing. Like their leader, they're always looking their best in public. And Nero is just a normal guy.
[You know when you get insulted but you're just not prepared to be insulted that there's just a weird awkward pause. What is he supposed to do with that? He has no idea.]
Thanks.
[That's... a response. Sure.]
You know somebody has to cook all the pretty food they're serving.
[He cooks with no magic because it's more fun that way. He's so funny, he could be doing so much cooking with magic, but no. For some reason he's a purist.]
The kitchen's got more than ten people in it, but it's an all hands on deck kinda day. [Though considering this kidnapping and stuff... maybe some of those hand should've been on the lookout.]
[It makes sense. If someone is living in this city permanently and just wants a job, then slacking off is natural. If you don't have something to keep you driven, then you'll be driven to not do anything eventually.
Lalli's contract payment is important to him too, though the longer he goes without reaching it the more he wonders if he'll be too late by the time he actually gets it.]
Lost souls or not, they need to do their job properly.
[Says a known slacker who takes naps on his shift.]
[ Nero side eyes him for a moment. He's part of enma, right? And he didn't go up there and prevent whatever this was from taking place? Is he really the right person to be lecturing about it?
Instead, Nero gives a slight shrug of his shoulders. ]
[Oh that's a weird feeling of simultaneous relief and also some part of him that feels just that tiny bit insulted. He's a perfectly good thief, thank you.
no subject
[Oh, wait.]
I'm in Enma. I think my faction is supposed to be watching out for this stuff. Maybe Shuten too.
no subject
[ There's a slight exhale as he realizes that wasn't part of his duties for the night. Cool, he wasn't neglectful. ]
I'm in Tamamo, we didn't hear about having to be muscle.
no subject

[What he means is that when he sees people from Tamamo they're usually dressed to the 9s and look amazing. Like their leader, they're always looking their best in public. And Nero is just a normal guy.
Is he explaining all of that though? Hell no.]
no subject
Thanks.
[That's... a response. Sure.]

no subject
[Okay, yeah, that's a valid point. And at this point he knows Nero can cook well, so.]
Okay. So you're the cook.
...that's a lot of people to cook for.
no subject
I'm one of them. There's a whole bunch of people who work back there. Tryin' to cook for this many people with just one guy would be impossible.
[Even if he was using magic, which he isn't.]
no subject
With one or with many, it's still a lot of cooking. It took a team of ten to keep the base fed, and they worked countless hours.
[Half of a story probably doesn't help explain things, but he seems to respect Nero for being so hard-working?]
no subject

How big's the base?
no subject
[It's a big number to Lalli, but it probably isn't that much here in Jigoku-cho. The individual factions probably have more members than that.]
no subject
[ 900 is still way less than the number of Lost Souls down here. ]
no subject
no subject
no subject
[Something something zombie apocalypse.]
People in the factions here slack off too much.
no subject
[ Nero wants his contract payment very badly. ]
no subject
Lalli's contract payment is important to him too, though the longer he goes without reaching it the more he wonders if he'll be too late by the time he actually gets it.]
Lost souls or not, they need to do their job properly.
[Says a known slacker who takes naps on his shift.]
no subject
Instead, Nero gives a slight shrug of his shoulders. ]
Yeah, probably.
no subject
But he's taking that shrug to mean that Nero agrees, so Lalli will nod approvingly as he sits back and lets everyone else do the work for now.]
no subject
You're not questioning me or anything?
[Not that Nero knows any information related to whatever that kidnapping was.]
no subject
[Just. Putting that out there.]
no subject
Not the kidnapping sort, but still.]
There's that.
