[ More like, an unforeseeable outcome of the two of them left to their own devices was a terrible irresistible attraction. But Yosano didn't want to think too hard about that one just yet. ]
Well. The other dog is already throwing stones at my window. Despite my former enemy status... And now I know why.
[ And it was quite frustrating, because Yosano thought him to be the more reasonable one. Yet here they were.]
So, do deal with it. Him knocking on my door every time we have sex will be a hassle. Putting on some charm will be sure to work.
Putting on some charm? What kind of man do you think I am?
[ Jouno huffs in annoyance. The whole situation is a pain in the ass. First Tetchou, and now Yosano's attitude about the whole thing -- he really shouldn't have called her of all people. ]
I'll deal with it, one way or another. Ugh. It's a pity he didn't die when your little friend blew him up. Then I wouldn't have to tolerate this headache. How inconvenient for me. The one man I get entangled with is practically unkillable...
[ Yosano clucked her tongue in disapproval. Poor Jouno. His inconvenience; Yosano's pleasure. She imagined the dog would only learn by making it worse and worse until he had to bend. To learn that to keep himself happy, he had to keep others happy. ]
Hah, what a shame. By all means, if you want to make it worse keep going the way you have. Take my advice or don't... I just hope when he snaps, you're the first to go.
[ Yosano has a point, but also... this is Jouno. The darker part of him wants to know what would happen if Tetchou reached that breaking point. It's why he can't bring himself to just fix things. ]
At this rate, he might take you out first. [ There's a laugh that follows, and it's clear that despite everything, Jouno is smiling into the phone. ] But you'd welcome that, wouldn't you, Angel of Death?
[ Not that that had really taken charm, per say. ]
How lovely to hear. So much self-loathing isn't good for a person, after all. Really, I'm thrilled for you. [ The sarcasm lacing his voice with the last remark is obvious. Truthfully, he doesn't care how Yosano sees herself, though he would like to have seen her at her worst. ]
Oh dear. Don't get it twisted. You were useful to me, and that was all.
[ Poor Jouno. As disliked as he was, that only black mail and threats could ever get someone in his bed. Yosano, on the other hand, had plenty of charm. Finding partners was easy enough; at this point she was just humouring him. ]
—Even your own partner hates you now. What will you do when you end up in Realignment? Come begging at my feet, I wonder?
[ And what a pleasant sight that would be. For a woman with so much self-loathing, only her hatred for despicable men could out-do it. ]
[ Jouno laughs, clearly not agreeing with her assessment of the situation -- even if it was the more accurate image of what happened. ]
He hardly hates me. If anything, I think he's in... [ He trails off for a moment. No, he's not saying that out loud. Admitting it to himself had been difficult enough. ] Well, whatever it is, it's a problem.
Between the two of us, the only one who has to worry about Realignment is you, for your horrible attitude. You should respect authority more, you know.
[ Hearing the words left unsaid, Yosano inwardly blanched. Her features cooling into a composed facade. Well, it was certainly worse then she first thought. ]
Oh dear... [ Tricky, complicated mess. One that she really didn't want to be a part of. ] Ah, if I'm being honest. I'd rather not risk a sword through my throat for our catch-ups.
[ Yes, good job Tetchou. Scaring away one of the only people trapped in this damn place that could handle Jouno's sadism. ]
—And, you see. It is only when I get wrongly framed twice for things I didn't do. You understand now, Dog?
Is that so? [ Not that Jouno can blame her. Tetchou could be downright frightening when he wanted to be -- it was one of the things that attracted Jouno to him in the first place. ] I didn't take you for the cowardly sort, Doctor. [ He can't help but tease and prod, though. ]
Ah, are you still upset about that? I hardly had a choice. You were there, and I had my orders. [ It's clear that Jouno doesn't feel guilt for arresting Yosano either time. A job is a job; he hardly cares if the criminals he punishes are guilty, so long as he gets to punish them. ]
You should be more cautious as a Submissive. You know, prior to working for them, they even falsely arrested me once. [ It was part of the reason Jouno had become a Sin Guard in the first place -- to avoid a repeat of that unfortunate situation. ]
This place doesn't care about guilt. [ It's the closest to friendly advice as he's going to get. ]
[ Yosano chuckled. A coward? Her? No, no. Yosano wasn't the sort. However, she was smart. And making the partner of said person she was planning to brutally torture, angrier then they already were... wasn't on her list of things to do. ]
Ah. You must have misjudged me then. I wouldn't hold it against you, if you were to suddenly lose interest in me.
[ She hummed, rather unfazed by his opinion of her. Why should she care for the thoughts of a dog? After all, his generosity was only thrown as far as it could benefit himself. Certainly not someone Yosano could respect. ]
Yes, yes. I'll be careful. Do remind me to suck up to you next time we meet.

Ah, you see, I'm starting to come around, Dog. I'd very much like to spit on your grave, after all.
