Hi! You've reached Ruby Hoshino, but I wasn't able to answer. Just leave a message and I'll get back to you ASAP!

Because I'm still trying to get information out of him? He's really stubborn... kinda like you, honestly.

[aiwillneversmile]

It comes with being older brothers, so you could leave him alone, maybe?

[aididitmyway]

... Do you think I'm gonna ruin whatever image you want him to think you have?

[aiwillneversmile]

I'm not that obsessed with my image. And I don't care what he thinks of me, either.

I just don't want you getting upset when it doesn't work out.

[aididitmyway]

I'm not gonna get upset, but why do you just automatically assume it won't?

[aiwillneversmile]

Because not everyone is as forgiving of me as you, Ruby.

[aididitmyway]

... I think it'll be fine, though... you just always assume the worst.

[aiwillneversmile]

Can you blame me?

[aididitmyway]

I guess not, but it wouldn't hurt to have a little positivity.

[aiwillneversmile]

... Then, I'll be positive and hope he lasts longer than I expect him to.

[aididitmyway]

... Good. Because you never know what could happen.

[aiwillneversmile]

[He sighs but he doesn't argue with that.]

I don't. But I'd still like some space. If you're involved, everything's different.

[aididitmyway]

Different... how? I mean, I can totally give you some space, but...

[aiwillneversmile]

Because when they know you, then I'm Ruby's Aqua. That's different from me as just Aqua.

[aididitmyway]

[She's quiet for a long moment.]

... Okay. I'll try to stay out of it... unless it's for business stuff since he was gonna invest in idol things.

[aiwillneversmile]

[He will reach for and hold her hand with a small sigh.]

Thanks ... But bleed him dry. He has too much money if he has room to think about investing.

[aididitmyway]

Everything's usually pretty expensive anyway, isn't it? It'll be easy to do that.

[aiwillneversmile]

What were you thinking of getting?

[aididitmyway]

Clothes. Obviously we'll need to fund some merchandise too, even if it's not right away... and it'd help if I could upload some PVs too! We have to fund those.

[aiwillneversmile]

So, you do want to turn a profit out of being an idol here?

[aididitmyway]

Why not?

[aiwillneversmile]

[Well, this was the girl who wanted people to sell their kidneys...]

People should pay for things that are valuable, so I guess it works out.

[aididitmyway]

It'd be nice to be able to sustain myself doing it... I know it's not like, supposed to get tons of money, but I want something for it too.

[aiwillneversmile]

That's going to be hard when you're stuck in just one city. There's only so many people that will come to see the same person week after week. What do you want money for?

[aididitmyway]

Living? Finding a better place, maybe... Lilia works a lot to try to support me and Kalim, which is why I try to work too. And it'd be nice for buying things for people and maybe paying for dates! It'd be great to have a little more freedom!
