Well, I am. [She pauses, eyes brighter than normal.]
Thank you, Yusuke, for actually being supportive. I've heard so many pessimistic comments about the risks of dating your best friend...but I thought hard about this!
Well... of course there are risks. But it is not as though you are known for acting irrationally.
[ He dips his brush into paints the shade and tone of Yukiko’s kimono, and adds them to the palette, carefully mixing them. ]
If it is something you want to try, then try you should. Technically there are risks if you meet someone new as well - what if they’re dangerous? Or are a secret billionaire? Or are part of the mafia? You don’t know these things when you meet them, but if you like the person enough you accept that surprises and hardships will come. It’s the same with people you know.

[ Even with the topic of unsupervised, easy to get s-e-x in the equation. Yusuke, pls. ]
Were they concerned about you having roommates in general as well?

I don't have to worry about troublesome landlords, bad dormmates, any of that. And Eleanor gets a free place to stay, which helps her save money.

[ Wow. He’s slightly jealous. ]
But of course, it’s the property that is something of a high commodity nowadays, I feel. Owning a home is expensive.
[ What’s with this grandpa talk, holy heck. ]
The main thing though, of course, is that you are happy with your situation and relationship though.

[Yukiko snorts, unable to keep the laugh from her voice.]
Like the phantom thieves. Yes I suppose that's true. Any one of us could be just that.

[ He sounds amused.
But the joke is on him, really, remember this when he finds out about his boyfriend's estranged family.]I wouldn't necessarily say the thieves were in the same category as mafia.

How's the painting going?
no subject
... Hm.
[ Yusuke takes a step back to examine the canvas. Well, he'd say, but... ]
