[And Baren rolls over, looks to the ceiling as he tries to parse through the new pieces of information rattling in his head.]
Covering their faces, holding kunai, more fast than they were powerful. Ninjas were primarily for intel and assassination, right? I don't know how much they worked in groups, though I guess there were different clans...
[ . . . . and he sighs. The kanji on the mask said "Iga" from what he could tell.]
Anyway, I dunno if that was you or if I would've remembered it if I just held a fancy kitchen knife.
[ . . . actually. A moment of silence after as he realizes that's not a terrible idea.]
[WELL, that's not untrue... He'd actually be more convinced Baren was lying if he was talking about having a 9-5 desk job than him talking about dinosaurs and space and ninjas.]
Mm, probably not a model.
[What a tragedy, what a waste of a good face.
Why does Kashuu play along every time Baren wildly veers the conversation off of a serious track, why.]
[No, just kidding. Baren's laughing but otherwise letting himself relax now in Kashuu's room. Kashuu can go back to work knowing that Baren is just going to steal his phone and browse Twitter to kill time...

[Please don't look for a fancy kitchen knife, though... He might actually find one, considering Yato uses their kitchen so often.
EITHER WAY even if this is the first time he's heard of ninjas, it's still carrying on an alarming trend.]
...It really does seem like almost everyone has something like that to remember.
[He doesn't say that he's sorry Baren's getting dragged into it, but the sentiment is probably noticeable, anyway.]
no subject
You have to admit - we all would've been more surprised if I remembered boring shit. Like libraries or being a bank teller.
[So.
Don't worry about it, because he's just laughing.]
Between the dinosaurs and being in space, I wonder what kind of person I was!
[ . . . and in order to dodge an uncomfortable situation, he's now proceeding to use lies.]

You never know. It seemed kinda old timey, maybe I was one of those performers instead. I could've done kabuki next to velociraptors.
no subject
Maybe you just did kabuki next to the oiran. They were all kinda in the same place, weren't they?
[Just implies Baren was some kind of ye olde prostitute, it's fine.]

You ever been to a red light district?

What? No way is that kinda thing my style.

Don't treat me like I'm a kid, either! I'm not that much younger than you, you jerk.

that's probably better.]
