I'm not really worried about it. That kind of defeats the purpose of it being fun, you know.
[it's a statement that's make to be contrarian, and souji knows it. his words come out alongside a yawn, an ever-present reminder of the exhaustion he isn't quite giving into yet. nice as it would be to do just that, taking the time to converse, even casually (or maybe especially casually) with saitou isn't something he really wants to pass up.
things remain strange, after all. not because they're laying there like that — it's just about everything else, including their topic of conversation. it's not as if souji doesn't know that fun shouldn't be their top priority... but the truth of the matter is that he needs it a little more than he cares to legitimately admit. downtime in haven was so minimal that it was nearly nonexistent; even when there wasn't a crisis of sorts, every day was a concern about the next meal, the next arrivals, and even the next means of simple things like bathing sometimes. souji doesn't want to live like that, with no leisure, not again.
...even if he's fully aware this oddly calm and peaceful state of affairs will likely crumble soon enough. after a moment, he'll get a little more serious and ask the question that sits at the edge of his tongue.]
I know Hajime-kun has more important things to do, but was there time for that kind of thing in Zelien at all? Nights to sit back with a drink and just do something normal? [it's curious, and almost melancholic simply because he didn't, though if he hears a yes... chances are souji will be both bitter and jealous to some extent.]
