This is a post for voice testing things. Everything will be terrible, don't look, senpai.

Maybe... If they decide to go overseas, I'm not sure they could afford to keep an apartment here. I'd be going it alone if I stayed, then.

[He feels bad for worrying her, he really does. He doesn't like this kind of lie, but it's so much better than telling the truth.]

[She hesitates, because it's not appropriate, to offer what she's going to. But not because she's worried about Kida taking advantage of her or doing something; that's not a concern. She's more worried about how Mikado might see the offer, but she thinks if they both explain to Mikado he might offer the same thing, so she's not too anxious.]

[So she looks at Kida with conviction;]

You can stay at my place.

[He's kind of surprised she's that bold about it. Enough so that he looks genuinely stunned!

But of course, he lifts his hands to wave it off -- and his embarrassment is pretty real, too.]

Aah, c'mon! You can't do that. A guy like me would just die, living with someone as sexy as you!

I'd stay with Harima-san.

[She explains her plan calmly, not flustered. After all, even if she wouldn't worry about Kida doing anything, that doesn't mean she's prepared to live with him. Though living with Harima would mean owing her friend a lot, she's okay with that debt, if it means Kida doesn't have to leave.]

I think Ryuugamine-kun would also offer to let you stay with him. So, if it's leaving, you shouldn't have to worry.

I'm not going to put you out of your place...

[It slips out without a joke attached, but he figures that's alright. They're talking about serious stuff, even if it is all lies.]

But thanks. I'm glad to know you're thinking about me. And watching my face when I'm not looking, huh?

Then... We'll find some other way. I don't want you to be worried.

[She ducks her head and then lifts it again, meeting his eyes because it's more direct, more comfortable to look at him.]

It's because... You look anxious.

[Eye contact is not something he's good at. He can't hold it, especially when he knows he's full of shit.]

Aah... Well, I'm sorry in advance. It'll probably stay that way, since my family's still going to be crazy for awhile.

Please don't apologize--

[She pauses and then firms her shoulders.]

Um, or, I think Ryuugamine-kun would say, if you want to apologize than you should let your friends help you? [She looks a little flustered saying it.]

You're helping!

[He waves her off, or does his best to, leaning back in his seat to make his posture more casual.]

I promise. Seeing you guys every day is my number one source of happiness! ...For real.
