[Kind-of-Video]/[Action for his housemates]

[There's a loud BANG as he slams the device down on a table, accidentally activating the video feature. There's the lovely view of a ceiling, for the time being.

Oh, and...

That yelling you here, Genessians? That's the sound of a very angry teenager as he's glaring through a freshly broken window. Enjoy that.]

Seriously, what the hell?!

[Okay, yeah... That's the extent of his yelling. He'll resume simply huffing and being annoyed, now.]

You've gotta be kidding me... I don't even remember anyone sayin' anything about signin' up for this shit. [The sound of angry footsteps with a brief visual of the brunette storming past.]

Damn it, we don't have the money for this shit!

......

[Gaara recognizes his voice as the young man that had helped him and Ishtar, when they first arrived. Despite his curiosity and concern, his voice sounds calm as he addresses Shinjiro.]

You seem to be in need. What is it?

Some jerk thought it'd be a great idea to not pay attention to where he was throwin' the damn newspaper. [He lets out a sigh.]

Now we've gotta figure out how much it'll cost to replace the window. [Holds a blink as he turns his head to the side, scratching the back of his head. He then mutters, somewhat--] ...Damn it, and we just started workin'. [Blinking as though he hadn't meant to say that where Gaara could here, he gives the redhead a faint wave of his hand.]

No need to worry about us, though. [Faint smirk.] We'll be fine.

[The redhead quirks a brow, unamused.] That type of careless behavior could prove detrimental to the business of his employer. Particularly if there are any similar cases.

[Clearly, Gaara approves of incompetence. If his shinobi had acted so recklessly, they would receive proper punishment. But he knows that civilians are more lenient when it comes to these matters.

He listens and waits until Shinjiro has finished before replying.] If you have insufficient funds, I will provide assistance.

[Because being a thief and a monster hunter really pay off!]

There is little need to be prideful, in this instance. You have other important uses for your monetary means. [Such as food, and similar supplies for basic survival.]

Seriously. If it were up to me, I'd go hunt the guy down and properly thank him for such an act of kindness to our window.

[Hi, Gaara, enjoy his sarcasm.] Anyway, I do plan to head up there and talk to them about their shitty employee.

[He blinks at the offer.] Wh-...Seriously? [...] Yeah, but we just met. And, well, it's kind of our responsibility, right? I mean, but... [He then deflates, somewhat.] ...Are you sure?

[Look, growing up poor kind of made him uncomfortable with accepting acts of kindness.]

......

[Gaara isn't completely if that's an expression of sarcasm... He is used to Temari and Kankuro's unique brands of humor, but... he doesn't know Shinjiro that well.]

...By forcing him to compensate you for your loss. Correct?

[He tilts his head a little, not at all surprised by his reaction. He is like that too, with regards to random acts of kindness. But he understands how it feels to need help, and to receive abandonment instead. Even if Shinjiro does have other friends to help him, that isn't a reason for Gaara to refuse.]

Yes. [He reinforces, and then admits in a dry tone.] The expression of humor is not one of my strongest attributes.

Once you have determined the cost, name a time and location. I will transport the funds to you.

[Brief pause.]

I am not asking for anything in return. [What was that one expression again...] There are... no strings attached.

[He blinks, then smirks ever-so-slightly and nods.] Yeah.

[...]

...Look, I'll- I'll see how much it is, but... [Sighs.] ...Just tell me why you're willing to do this for a complete stranger. People don't just do stuff like this for other people without expecting something back.

[Gaara just stares at the other for a minute in silence. There is a simple reason for his desire to help, and another one much more intricate. He doesn't need to go too deep into detail.]

You need it, whereas I have excess funds. The concept is rather simple to comprehend.

... [Returns the stare after that answer, then finally gives an annoyed shrug.] Alright, fine!

[Moving to prop his chin on his hand with a frown.] After I talk to Aki and Kirijo, and figure out...how much it'll be, I'll contact you.

[He nods, his expression still impassive.]

Very well. I will await your instructions. [Slight head tilt.] In the meantime, exercise proper caution.

[With that, he cuts the feed.]
