Zenith nods. "So if we say each is six thousand- as an estimate, of course- how many would there be?" He tries to keep the crafty look off his face, but he's not sure he's succeeding. He tries to budget, sure, but what's the point of being a billionaire- even a secret billionaire- without blowing some cash on things from time to time?
"What?" She asked confused, looking at him. "How many-?" She looked confused as she stared at him, boggled by him.
Zenith gives his best innocent smile. "How many inventions did you make?"
(… yeah he plans to try to pay off her debt because he's like 'Friend? Must help friend. Friend!')
(oh you precious idiot) "None! My friend Hyla makes them for me. I pay her for them." She nods.
Zenith nods. "Okay, how many did you have her make?"
"I'm not in debt with her if that's what you're thinking,but everything I got."
Zenith pauses. "… you said you were in debt earlier though? Just- who are you in debt to, and how much? I'm betting its within my bud- well not technically my budget, but I can afford it. I put myself on a budget so I don't spend all of my money but-" He turns a little red. "-I think you're worth it."
"The governornment. The banks. Bajillions of dollars. I bought myself a private plane with my credit card. So I told the world I was dead and left it to my dad to pay. And. I'm not worth anything." She sighed.
Zenith tries not to say it, he really does, but he's never really had feelings like this before and it just kinda slips out as a whisper-
"You're worth everything."
He immediately flushes red and shifts so he can shove his face in a blanket.
She then grabs the blanket and hides in it as well. "I-I AM NOT! I KILL PEOPLE FOR A LIVING! I am worth nothing. I'll just ruin your life! Don't go falling in love with me. Just like everyone else, you'll regret it. Use me, toss me aside, hate me, leave when times get rough." It was obvious that Evelyn just didn't have the best of luck with love at all. Or not very good luck in general.
Zenith blinks. "You kill people for a living." He doesn't sound upset. He sounds… amused.
Then he starts laughing. "You- of course. How did I not see it?" He facepalms. After a moment, he quiets, but he's still smiling. "Remember what I put for my job? I wasn't kidding."
"Neat. I don't really care. Killing the people trying to protect our country,good for you." She sighed and got up, then laid back on the couch,legs over the arm of it,head in his lap as she looked up at the ceiling. "Bout time we had some change." She sighed as she stretched a bit and got comfy.
Zenith sighs. "Okay first of all, I don't attack them unless they attack me. Second, I'm saying that I don't give a shit if you kill people. And as for that whole falling in love bit… I mean, I've never done it before so I don't know what I'm talking about, but I don't think that something either of us get a say in."
"It can be." She shrugged as she turned her head and looked at him. "You still have such pretty eyes…anyways. I know you've already fallen. Tis a mistake. Ill ruin you."
Zenith laughs. "Can't ruin what's already been ruined, now can you? Trust me when I say that no matter what happens, it's impossible for me to be off worse than I was before I met you."
"Oh you say that now." She sighed and shrugged. "We'll just see."
Zenith smiles. But before he can say anything, the door is slammed open, with Katsumi standing there. "Zenith, what the fuck."
Zenith starts reaching for his katana. "What?"
"You actually made an account on the dating site." Katsumi crosses her arms.
"So?" Zenith glares.
"I didn't think you'd actually do it, much less meet someone."
"HEY! Don't be so mean to him,he's awesome!" She said, her hand slipping into his, her other arm wrapping around his legs and hugging them close.
Katsumi arches an eyebrow at Evelyn.
“Zenith, I swear to God-“
“I’m an atheist, but continue.” Zenith interrupts.
“She doesn’t know what she’s getting into!” Katsumi tries.
“I told her.” Zenith admits.
“You- you told her. You told a random person that you just met about your past?” Katsumi demands.
“…maybe?”
“Zenith, you f*cking idiot.”
(Sorry I haven’t been on, everything’s been really hectic lately, I’ll probably be on more often now)
(tis fine) "Hey hey hey. We're lucky I'm chill with it. Surprisingly I have a more fucked up past than he does." She shrugs. "I'm just glad he's found his true human self. Promise ya,I'll take care of him. My perfect." She blushes at that,looking away.
Katsumi just stares at her. "I- you know what? Fine. Let's see how this goes. Zenith probably needs to learn this lesson, anyway."
Zenith cuddles closer to Evelyn. "What lesson?"
Katsumi shakes her head as she walks away. "You'll find out."
"The lesson of heartbreak I'm assuming. She's a bitch for thinking of I'll hurt you that bad." She growled out,glowering at her back,and nuzzling him.
"What's heartbreak? I've heard John use the term before, but I don't know what it means." Zenith admits somewhat sheepishly.
"The worst feeling in the world. It can take many forms and there are even stages of it. Everyone processes it differently. It's the emotion you feel when someone very dear,loved,and close to you whether family, but usually lover,goes away. Leaves you. I've felt it…to many times to count. It's why I don't love. Not truly. Oh I'll kiss and hug and fuck but I don't fall. Don't plan futures or think of baby names. I wait for them to leave. I have never broken up with anybody. I wait for them to commit. And then I do. It's how I save myself. Now that's unhealthy though and a bad way to look at life. Don't do that to yourself. Why do I do it to myself? Only way to save me. Oh you'll calm me perfect. But wait till you know me. All of me. My story my cuts my bruises what makes me angry,why I do the things I do. You'll leave. You'll leave because you're afraid just like every other person who has tried to love me. Afraid of what? Commitment. No one wants to commit to a relationship. No one is serious in their reen years. Everyone is partying their lives away and hoping it'll work out. So am I. It's depressing but it's all true. And you deserve the truth." She nodded once and then took a few breaths after her long speech.
