Seems that way. I would like to find out if there's any rhyme or reason to who gets to leave and when, but that'll be a while before I do. If I do. [He sighs; he would prefer to find out sooner rather than later, but he knows well enough that learning anything about how this city is run is going to prove difficult, especially on his own. Without even the assistance of Koala, it will be hard.]

I haven't.

[He turns around to face Shiro as he answers, walking backwards for a few moments.] I work a lot, so I haven't had the chance to see. But there are tunnels underground. I've discovered that at least. They may lead to somewhere out of the city.

[Turning back around, he points forward. The apartment complex is in view.] Alright, my place is right ahead. I'll make sure to turn the air conditioning on as high as I can when I get inside. [With that, he starts to run so he can arrive there faster, and it takes only about two minutes for him to enter the building. He waits for Shiro, and once the two of them are together again, starts up the stairs.]

It's on the first floor.

[Sabo had heard the question about work, but hadn't answered until now. He was too focused on rushing to the apartment complex to speak, really, since he knew it was too hot for either of them to be outside for much longer. As he walks up the stairs, his breaths are labored, and he's quite sweaty. Honestly, he shouldn't have booked it to the complex, but -- too late to undo that.]

I'm a bodyguard. For the casino in Minami. That was assigned to me, I didn't have a say on the job at all. But it's alright. Surprisingly mellow most days. [He slows his steps as he makes it to the floor where his apartment is, and turns around.]

This floor is fine, really. I don't hear anyone above me, but I'm not home that often anyway. So being on the top floor wouldn't really have that many benefits over being here. [He finally faces his door, rummaging through his pocket for the key to unlock it. After doing so, he holds the door open for the other man.]

After you! [The air conditioning was set to be running already, so the cool air is escaping the room as he holds the door open.]

[He's in the middle of pouring a very large glass of water from the tap before answering that, because wow is he thirsty. Nearly about to pass out from dehydration, here! He takes a messy gulp, spilling some of the water onto his shirt, but it's just water -- it'll dry in time. Though, the wet shirt look is just a tiny bit embarrassing for him to just wear right now, and he fidgets a little before turning around completely. When he looks down at his chest, he can see that his abs are pretty much completely outlined. The cravat doesn't hide that much!]

No. I was just told that was my job, and that was it. I think I've heard I could get a promotion or a change if I behave long enough. [He shrugs.] I work six days a week. Evenings, rather. So I'm pretty busy, most of the time.

[He realizes he should close the door, so he rushes over and does that, locking it soon after. He's still incredibly wet, and probably should change.]

I'm not usually this messy. I really, really needed a drink. [He chuckles nervously.] I shouldn't have pushed myself so hard out there.

[Sabo has been in the city long enough to where he shouldn't get so easily flustered, but -- he still does on occasion. Especially around a very attractive individual who has, unfortunately, consumed some aphrodisiacs. The blond hadn't really had much of those at all, himself, but he doesn't even need them to know that the other man in the apartment with him is -- well, he's hot. So much so that the wet shirt look Sabo is currently sporting is not only embarrassing and awkward, but an inadvertent way to see if Shiro has any attraction to him at all. This thought has crossed his mind, briefly, as he tries to pat himself down with a towel in the kitchen. He shouldn't be thinking anything like that right now, honestly! He should be a decent host, giving Shiro the safe space he needs for the aphrodisiacs to wear off.]

Incite a rebellion. [A snort.] Yeah, can't do that. I wouldn't anyway, on my own. Not in a place like this. I still don't even know the entire map, where everything is -- I need to learn those things before I even considered inciting a rebellion.
[He sets the damp towel to hang across the sink, and then heads out of the kitchen, plopping down on the closest chair. He sighs; not because he's upset, but because he's a little exhausted from the heat and dehydration.]

Are you doing alright? If you need anything to eat or drink, please let me know. Everything here is safe. But -- I can't really cook, not right now. [He smiles a goofy smile toward Shiro, his cheeks still a little flushed from the day's stress and hormones.]

[He's still winded, trying to catch his breath and relax some, as his question is answered. He turns his attention back to Shiro and comments, his voice still a little quieter than normal.]

That's good. I just need to rest a minute, and then I should be okay. Guess I'm just not used to this direct heat. [It's not as if he'd spent a lot of time in Alabasta, anyhow. Deserts aren't really a climate he's used to.]

I haven't felt any effects from any food in this apartment. The food sold in the stores seems to be safe; it's usually the restaurants and cafes that pose a problem. [Some food has to be safe, otherwise work would never get done. Everyone would be too distracted.

He watches Shiro sit down and smiles again, hoping that he's more comfortable than he was prior to being invited to the apartment. Though -- the blond soon senses something off. Is Shiro's expression changing, slightly?]


Are you sure you're okay? You look -- a little off. I can get you some water.

[He jolts upright, sucking in a breath to steady himself, and then he starts to head to the kitchen.]

[He quickly pours a tall glass of water from the tap, bringing it over to the other man in little time at all. He figures that, due to his own past experiences with aphrodisiacs, Shiro must be feeling very hot. Uncomfortably so, even in comparison to the heat outside.]

Here. I hope this helps some.

[He was worried about this, honestly. The aphrodisiacs are strong, so much so that they're very difficult to ignore; he's tried to do so the first day he'd arrived, and pretty much failed miserably. He doesn't fault Shiro for not being able to completely ignore them, either.

He sits back down where he was previously, watching Shiro to make sure he's alright. As alright as he can be.]


It was April, so it was pretty rainy out. Not very hot. [That breathing must be deliberate, right? Otherwise -- Shiro isn't doing well at all, and that would raise more concern.] Do you need anything else? Ice? [He knows exactly what the aphrodisiacs are telling Shiro, that he wants company, but -- he doesn't want to suggest that. He can't, as it'd be essentially the same as taking advantage of someone.

So, if Shiro says he's fine, Sabo will just sit and try to think of other things to talk about.]

[Considering the aphrodisiacs in Shiro's system, Sabo isn't surprised at all by how quickly he downs that glass. He'd do the same if he were in his situation, after all.

He does smile when he's told that the water helped, but the smile fades as he witnesses Shiro rest his forehead on his hand. The water only helped so much, which is what the blond was worried about. There's nothing else he can do to help, though, save for --

Well, what the aphrodisiac wants him to do.]


Not at all. I can show you where it is.

[That could cool the man down, hopefully for longer than drinking a glass of water.

He starts to head toward the bathroom, but intentionally stops after a few steps, looking back to make sure Shiro is actually able to follow.]


You alright? Want me to hold a hand? [Not for any reason but to help lead him to the bathroom, really. Before Shiro can answer, though, Sabo reaches for his human hand and holds it, gently tugging forward.]
