[ Sorry if he chokes for a moment. He used all of the starter money on food?! And he just got here?! Maybe he didn't actually mean all of it .... maybe all of these trays aren't actually his, despite the evidence clearly supporting the fact that Rengoku blew all his money on food.
Sanemi takes a breath, evening his temper out. Rengoku is stupid, but he can't be that stupid. Just. Confirm that he isn't. ]
You used it all up here? You're kiddin', right? You've got some saved still.
[ if sanemi knows how to check his account, then all he'll see are 000's across the board. whatever money the government had given him has been spent making sure the sweet potato shopkeep knew how good his wares are. rengoku is, if nothing else, a generous patron — stupid, but insanely generous. ]
But don't worry about it, Shinazugawa. The sweet potatoes were worth it!
[ because that's clearly what this is all about. ]
[ The headache that cuts across his forehead is sharp; taking a second, Sanemi rubs his temples to ease the pain. He really does like Rengoku .... and he's actually happy to see him alive (not that he'll admit it, the secret of how many soft feelings he has one he doesn't realize will be pried out with the effects of Synchrony unknown to him still), but god is he stupid. ]
Listen. The corps aren't paying our tab here and you need money to get by. They pay you based on how much of that Manna you make. Don't be stupid with your money if you don't plan on doing that Synchrony shit.
[ He'll also need Manna to keep his energy up too, so he won't be totally broke .... but still. All of it?! ]
[ rengoku might be the most beloved pillar but he certainly takes the dumbest crown. he doesn't appear to see a problem with having no money at all, because they were spent on things that were worth it (to him). money can always be made back one way or another—it's not a concern to him. ]
Synchrony? —Ah!
[ it comes to him after thinking about it for a while. and without hesitating, he reaches for sanemi's hand, a small prickle of something pleasant happening almost immediately. ]
You mean this, right? Isn't it interesting? To get paid over such a simple gesture!
[ guess who thinks all he has to do is hold hands. that's right, this fool. ]
