[EVERYONE HE LIKES KEEPS CUCKING HIM!! But it's fine because he still grins about it before narrowing his eyes a bit.]
Taking the full weight of my personality's a pretty big thing. What a noble sacrifice. [Deadpanned.] Anyway eggs are easy and they're cheap and sometimes you can break up monotony with ramen...and put an egg in it.
[Sometimes you're just poor and this is how you exist as a human.] Can't say I don't appreciate having easy access to stuff here though.
Thank you for your service. [There's a pleased sound with the peck.]
So what I'm hearing is we're both really bad at eating real meals. [He doesn't care, but he's eating his eggs with a little more ease now.] Kinda feel weird thinking about how this place changed a lot of how I spend my days.
My schedule's normally a little too packed for meal planning. [ he looks amused, finishing up his eggs ] But here... well, we've got time and resources.
[ and so much nothing to do. god. is this how vacations are minus the death. it's wild ]
Yours and mine both. Even without the superhero thing most of my cases eat up my time between traveling and research. Here...I like having a choice who and what I spend my time on.
Maybe someday I'll actually take a cruise on a ship for my own enjoyment. [i.e. NOT A FUCKING MURDERGAME.]
I said someday! Like when I'm in my late sixties and considering a life of retirement before realizing that's not happening.
...but I could be convinced in maybe three years anyway. [It's a joke, but the idea is there. He plans on finding Dick again someday after this is over.]
Whatever. [He's rolling his eyes but in a way that suggests he knows he'd literally just be an annoying grouchy old man. Gestures lightly to VLR. But alas. Instead...he hums in thought.]
Can't really remember the last time I've had a vacation. Maybe I'm out of practice. I'm not even sure where I'd want to go...but I'm open to suggestions.
[There are things they both have to do when they get home, but planning for a potential future is something he finds himself doing with other people anyway. So why not?]
I ... don't know that I've ever taken a vacation. [ hm. ] Was planning to, but I wound up here instead, so... I'd say anything we do has to be better than this one.
I think I could agree with that. [...who is this we? Give him a second to grab his coffee and take another drink while playing this as nonchalant as possible.]
Gotta be somewhere warm though. I'm not doing snow.
Yeah, that's a vacation you can take by yourself, dude. [FUCK THAT. He knows Dick is teasing but also no. Instead, he gives him a curious look.] When I think about it, it's been a while since I've been back to Japan.
Keep counting then. Later could be a really long time from now. Never know. [He's obviously teasing but he finishes the coffee before he shakes his head.]
Don't forget though. [It sounds calm enough, but the weight of the words is different. "Don't forget what I wouldn't mind being with you somewhere other than here."]

[ this time he gives junpei a real peck!!! there. less cuck. ]
Well, I can't judge, I eat mostly cereal and take-out when I make it to my apartment. [ he'll give junpei that much? dick is just a mess of a human ]

Really? I'm planning to stay off boats for at least three years after all this.

You'd make the worst old man. [ but.. ] It doesn't have to be a boat. Pretty sure I heard people can have vacations anywhere.
[ it doesn't have to be three years either, maybe. ]
