you can start by tellin us how hot we look in our new ad campaign our cute and clever manager got jobs lined up for us yeah? rinne-kun ain't here to jack off all day!
[ compliments for manager... she doesn't want them to wrack their brains for more if it's hard (why wouldn't it be hard) but it'd be nice to get a couple from takasugi and niki too... is that childish... it is. she shouldn't. she's the oldest after all. even if it's the youngest who's scolding. ]
Of course I do, who do you take me for? I wasn't slacking off when you three were on break! I only took one day off that whole time, you know? One whole day!
Not to worry I already know you always put in the effort, to the point we might need to force you to take it easy Tie you to a chair, maybe But it's because I trust you that I ask you to keep track of things, right?
( and there's no lie in that, even if it's over text. )
[ did you know the slang escaped her completely at first
until it's apparently something to apologize over following his own understandable phrasing
and honestly
she prefers him saying some bullshit like that to the usual tease of what's preoccupying her time so it's fine ]
It's okay, I know how our adorably crude Rinne can be... He's just got too much energy to burn! We'll get rid of it next practice, okay? Just hang in there a little longer, Niki!
I'll try to ease up a little bit too, since the last thing I'd like to be is tied up.
[ ... ]
By the way, would you three like to try some solo activities? Nothing big, just more individualized things that play to your roles and strengths in the group. I'm trying to plan a few months ahead so I don't have to work as hard during March.
[Niki fights him for a bit to take back his own device... But then he remembers he doesn't actually want to miss the conversation, so he uses Rinne's to check back in instead.
...but the topic makes him wish he hadn't! Rinne's message leaves him with a pang of guilt, but that isn't why he answers what he does.]
um, I think I'll pass. I'm really no good with stuff like that.
[Niki doesn't mind being an idol, but he's never been too keen on doing it alone.]

[ one yes, one pass... truthfully she doesn't think takasugi'll reject the idea, since it's different than their usual, so niki should be addressed sooner than later. without being pushy... well she's never really been too good at not being pushy but-- ]
Aww, you haven't even heard me out yet, Niki! I promise, I'd never offer up anything you couldn't handle -- but we can talk later, just keep it open for consideration. If you still feel the same after, then I'll accept your pass. How about you, Takasugi? Sound fun?
