[ He shrugs, as if all that he's said has no importance whatsoever. He'd like to think that it doesn't, despite all evidence pointing to the contrary. ]

It's more of a headache than anything else.

[ He looks towards the storefront. ]

Would you like to try anything on in here?

[A headache...Jae-ha is strong, so she figured that if he did have burdens, he probably hid them all. He looks like the type who tries to smile all the time.]

I can see why, was it just forced upon you?

[For him to be chosen. Heck, she was chosen to be a country, in a way.]

Oh! [She looks at the storefront. A lot of the clothes are rather nice, but she's not sure if she suits any of them.] Perhaps, but only if there is anything affordable. [Can't spend too much!] Do you see anything you like? For yourself.

I didn't have a choice, if that's what you mean.

[ He has a lot of conviction when it comes to the perception of his "destiny", but this is far too nice of a day for poor Vietnam to entertain his complaints. ]

Don't go feeling any pity for me, though. I've lived a pretty good life, all things considered. [ This much as true, after he'd reached a certain age, and was able to escape from his village. Life in the seas under Captain Gi-Gan was exciting, and for the first time ever, he knew what it was like to be cared for.

He tilts his head at her response. It's quite different from how most girls might react, but not only is Vietnam humble; she's practical too. Those were admirable qualities, to be sure, but he can't help but feel that she, more than most others, deserved nice things every now and then. ]

Don't worry about money. I made out quite well at the casinos, you know! [ He pats his pocket reassuringly. ] If you don't help me spend it, I'll just drink myself stupid. [ Jae-ha leans down, as if he's going to share something very private. ] You don't wish that fate on me, do you?

[hoasen]

I understand that perfectly.

[She didn't have a choice either, how she was born to be a country in the world. She still doesn't know how she came about, perhaps she was a human once. If she was though? She'd be dead by now. She wouldn't have met anyone here.

It's not so bad, whatever life has in store for you. As long as you are able to make your own decisions along the way.]

I am glad that you have considered your life to be nice though. Even if we cannot have a life full of happiness, even fifty-percent is nice enough, no? [Small blessings and all.

But no she's really worried about money! Until he makes those IDLE THREATS TO HER. She'll play along though, and stands up to him.]

Fine, but that is only if it will stop you from drinking. This still sounds like your attempt to trick me. [She's playing...but no it's true.]
