[He looks uncomfortable with sharing that- maybe he would've on his own, if anyone had asked why he is the way he is. Either way, being forced to share things this way isn't great.

But he doesn't flinch away from Luca's hand.]

... Yeah. It's what I know how to do best. Probably the thing I've been doing the longest too.

[notaccurate]

[He'll leave it there then, his offer of comfort.]

I'm sorry. I never did stop to really talk with you before, did I?

[He feels kind of shitty about that now. They've banged so many times and yet they barely talk.]

Do you want to talk about it? Or anything else, really.

[housewolf]

I was really young then, you know? My little brother said he wanted to eat Mom's cooking instead of mine the day before.

I understood why, he missed her. He loved her.

[But for a 10 year old just doing his best, it felt like nothing he was doing was worth it.]

What a little thing to set off a reaction like running away.

[notaccurate]

He missed her, but you couldn't be her. And you shouldn't have to be. It's no wonder you ran away.

[housewolf]

Nobody ever could be.

... I was really trying. My father was barely functioning. If I didn't step up, I thought our family was going to shatter.

[ There's a little bit of a shudder. He already lost his mother, he can't lose the rest of them too. ]

[That hand is moving up to cup the side of Omi's face.]

You did your best. Nobody can fault you for that. But there's only so much a child can do.

[housewolf]

[He lets him, but he also doesn't quite meet his gaze.]

I don't want to make... They did apologize for making me do all the housework after I came back.

[notaccurate]

Even so, you had to grow up so fast, didn't you? Have you at least had a chance to be your own person, besides the chores and the house-minding?

[housewolf]

[He thinks it's obvious enough that he'll simply skip over that first question.]

I did decide to be an actor. That had nothing to do with my family.

[notaccurate]

Ah.

[Okay, his look softens a bit when he hears that.]

And you're a fine actor at that.

[housewolf]

[His usual gentle laugh.]

I'm doing my best. I think I'm improving with every performance.

[notaccurate]

You did give a wonderful performance here. But I do think I like your caring side more than your villainy, acted as it may be.

[housewolf]

One of them is a lot more honest than the other, don't you think?

[notaccurate]

Extremely so, yes.

Though...it's not an act too, right?

[housewolf]

It's not an act. This is really just who I am.

[notaccurate]

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

[He pats Omi's cheek a couple times before pulling his hand away.]

How about telling me about some of your other interests too, hmm?

[housewolf]

Let's see... I like felting and knitting. Molecular gastronomy is interesting, but you really need the right equipment for that. I took up photography while I was still in high school and I've kept at it ever since.

[notaccurate]

That is quite the range of things to take interest in. But, ah, photography?

[Of course Luca is most interested in that one, photography in his time is much more of a science than an art.]

[housewolf]

It's nice getting to capture a moment in time.

We have those polaroid cameras from the boxes, but I also have the one I came here with.

[notaccurate]

But there's no dark room to develop film here?

[housewolf]

You can make the simulation room into that if you really need it.

Mine's digital, so I just have to be careful of the battery.

[notaccurate]

Digital? Like those computers?

[...]

Is it here?

[housewolf]

It's in my room but...

[The last couple of shots...]

[notaccurate]

Will you show me?

[Omi your lewd pictures.]

[housewolf]

Haha... I'd like to protect the rights of my other partners. I'm sure you understand.
