            〝  your appreciation goes deeper than that knowing what field you work in.. ＂ he spoke under his breath before masking it with a small clearing of his throat〝  that still doesn't answer my question though about what prompted the sudden interest aside from just pure admiration ＂

ʺmust i go into detail,  my dearest?ʺ  ⠀hummed he undertaker,  he considers it a moment  ..  the glasses promptly adjusted.  ⠀ʺi'll be honest,  muscles aren't always going to be everything.  our bodies has it's quirks,  so uniquely formed,  how beautiful⁓  i admire it all you see.ʺ

            〝  let me guess:  you trying to impress someone? ＂ was his immediate question with a subtly amused raised brow at hearing the other's response trail off〝  either way if that's your only reason,  i wouldn't recommend doing it.  especially given what you already think about properties like incense that are similar to an extent ＂

one cannot help the outburst of merriment from his lips,  this sorcerer was truly selling himself short.  ⠀ʺyou say that,  ..and yet you look cool.  now that's just being humble.ʺ  ⠀such nonchalance ought to swoon the hearts of people,  which includes gen’ya as well,  however once the question was posed;  an idle tap of the index repeats to his chin.    ʺto smoke?  well...ʺ    the same finger began to hover above the parted lips of his,  another digit joining it's pressure.

            〝  i only know how to smoke because it's a core part of my technique.  i don't just do it to look cool ＂ although,  he will admit that he does like the overall mysterious vibe it helps him give off..  but he won't say that aloud〝  and what's got you interested in wanting to rey smoking all of a sudden?? ＂

            〝  from the looks of it,  a curse took over their body and it killed them from the inside before fully becoming one with them ＂ he briefly explained the cause of death from what he'd previously gathered〝  i recognized the guy after talking with what little was left of his spirit.  tatsuhiro,  owner of a small flower vendor just down the street from here.  i tried getting more info out of him,  but that was all i managed to get before he vanished ＂

ʺahh,  what a mess.  good thing i was able to preserve the body before it could disintegrate.⠀⁽  ...  ⁾⠀what even happened here?ʺ

alright,  i'll be right back then  [  ephraim confirmed with a nod before going to the aforementioned cabinet and began sifting through it,  eventually managing to pull out the medication midas had instructed him to get  ]  and it's a good thing i decided to stop by.  who knows what would've happened if i didn't  [  he helped the other to sit back against the chair as to not further strain his body and handed over a few of the pills inside the capsule once midas was properly sitting  ]

⠀⠀⠀⠀﹙ a deep breath is drawn,  his attempt as a smile drops. he nods his head towards a cabinet.﹚   my medications are in there. if you could be a dear..?     ﹙ using the hand clinging to the learher of his seat, he pushes uowards on an unsteady arm to be somewhat upright.﹚   it's not usually a good time for bonding .. so yes, but it's never occurred at work. I must have .. forgotten to take something.

            it was nothing of importance compared to the state you're in  [  ephraim said before approaching the hunched over male  ]  is there anything you need that i can help get?  do you normally go through this by yourself?

⠀⠀....I don't think i'd like to find out what sort of retaliation it would cause.

            cutting expenses is one way to get your point across.  but then there comes the problem with potential retaliation

⠀⠀⠀⠀ i've /tried/ to, but it hardly ever goes as planned.  perhaps I should be a bit firmer--   but that's such a bore.. 

⠀⠀ propriety, reputation --  all the boring things of publicity.  other than that, I don't believe we can't just leave, and i've never been one afraid of a little disdain.

            although it's tempting,  i don't think it'd be cost efficient for you to go and start any trouble  ( .. )  but on the other hand,  what's actually stopping us from leaving as you said?

⠀⠀⠀ i'm tempted to start something, but given how brain-dead everyone seems, i'm not so sure it will actually amount to anything.    ﹙ siiigghh ﹚   if only we could leave.
