I don’t even remember the last time I wore a suit.
[Eddie does not do formal. This much is obvious, again, just by looking at him — metalhead vibes notwithstanding, his personality just isn’t suited for clean-cut and proper.]
I don’t even remember the last time I had to tie a tie. No, Haru, it’s going to be bad.
Oh, I would have told you that regardless. [ She's doing soup today, something a soft yellow with herbs littering the top of it. And she scoops up a spoonful, also looking amused. ]
The promotion really only just means this apartment has a bit more space than my last.
That's true. I'm mostly meant to help all the new arrivals and to lend a hand keeping the local businesses safe and thriving after what you encountered. So far, nothing I wouldn't have done normally.
Oh, yeah— [Wiggles the fingers of his free hand.] Real abusive, helping out a new guy like me and inviting them to be your roommate. How terrible of you, Haru.

How about this: I do my best to never give you a reason to point that thing at me.

[ welcome to her apartment?? How does one say this. ]

Eddie reaches out with his free hand for a shake, the metal of his rings glinting in the light. You know, to make it official.]
Happy to be a part of it.
no subject
Yes! I look forward to it! We'll have to see if there's anything additional to buy to make sure you have everything you'll need to be comfortable...
no subject
Oh yeah. I saw this clan had a… [wrinkles nose] …dress code? I’m going to need to go shopping again anyway.

Then, eloquently as always—]
Ugh.

[ she's far too used to dressing formally. ]

no subject
[ Probably. She has no idea tying a tie for someone else is an entirely different kind of complicated. ]
no subject
[Unforunately for them both, Eddie does not realize this, either. He's only ever had to tie one for himself, and clumsily, at that.]
Careful. If you offer that, I'm going to come running to you every time I have to wear a tie so I don't have to fiddle with it myself.
no subject
[ You too can master the great and mysterious tie, Eddie. She believes in you. ]
no subject
I see how it is. You're just resigning me to a fate of having to walk around with my tie all crooked.
no subject
[ sips her coffee. ]
no subject
Mm-hm. Such a taskmaster, Haru.
[He hardly seems bothered, only amused. He takes a bite out of his sandwich next -- not bad.]
Guess it makes sense, since you're one of Shuten's officers, aren't you?

The promotion really only just means this apartment has a bit more space than my last.
no subject
Yeah, but you still have more responsibilities than someone like me, who just got here, right?

[She worries a lot, doesn’t she?]
no subject
You know what I mean! Presumably!
[ Well, now she's just lightly pouting. She doesn't want to throw her weight around! ]
no subject
The fact that you're even worrying about it means you probably aren't abusing any power you have. I wouldn't fret too much, all right?
no subject
... I'm sorry. It's something I can't help but worry about. I don't ever want to be someone who lets power get to their head.
[ Unlike her father. ]
no subject
You got, like, bad experiences with people who've done that before?
