He's too lazy to. [ And after a thoughtful look she goes around to stand in front of the couch. Then, she kicks the backrest hard enough that it tips backward, Katsura and Gintoki with it. ]
[ --suddenly the whole world is flipping over. Excuse me, but what the fuck?
Well, unless Katsura flipped over too, Gintoki is definitely lying on his stomach more than his lap now, though other than that falling back with a couch isn't so bad. He just stares up blinking in alarm, though still blearily, as he registers the couch ... the wrong way around. Oh. ]
At least you got some sleep. [ he reassures, then peers back at Ayame, holding his arms out over Gintoki protectively like some kind of a bird sitting on its nest when a predator draws close. ]
That's not what we agreed would happen Now that's just mean. Why wouldn't you touch such a thoughtful gift? Although, I suppose, touching is not necessary. Intense dislike is also one of the effects. How long have you been like this?..
[ He sighs quietly, and scoots out from under Katsura's arms to sit up. One arm draped over his knee, he gives Katsura a blank look. ]
She's always disliked you. Doesn't need the effects of any flowers.
[ And with that, he turns back to her.
See, he gets it. He doesn't like talking about himself either, and he wouldn't be happy if he was essentially forced to. He can understand it. So he supposes that's why he figures he might as well admit ... ]
All right, I shouldn't have taken advantage of it. You're right.
[ It's like magic. Maybe he's sick.
It's really just a quiet understanding, though. Attempting a parley. I get it. I won't do it again, is what it really means. ]
[ She doesn't feel like repeating what Gintoki has said, because it's already been said. She has disliked him since the first time they met, actually. It's just Katsura who is an idiot for not noticing. ]
If you do it again I won't be as forgiving.
[ Yes, this is her forgiving him. For now. If it does happen again she'll actually hurt him for real. ]
[ huffs, but allows Gintoki to escape and... huh. Now that's interesting. Looks like Gintoki has connected to his wife at some level after all. That's... a lot of wordless information simmering between them, so he's actually going to be not annoying and not comment on that. ]
[ Although he will give Gintoki a double-take when he says "you're right", because whoa. ]
[ looks offended?? what the fuck people, stop calling him disgusting, that's Kondo's thing! they're nothing alike!! at least as far as poop and stalking jokes go ]
What part of me could possibly be considered disgusting?!
[ Hey. Hey lady. They're free grownups and he's going to come over whenever he feels like it?! So much quiet rage under that wig right now ]
You seem to think I've got any choice in when he comes over. I don't invite him.
[ Doesn't need to, since he shows up when he wants to. Gintoki just lets him. Pretends he doesn't want him around, closes the door in his face quite often, but in the end he doesn't throw him out. ]
Are you saying I need your permission?
[ Because excuse. They are free grown ups, and he's signed no contract on needing to give a heads up. ]
[ just stares at her in outrage, expecting some kind of explanation ]
[ he's pretty and decent and he smells nice?? how is that disgusting. annoying, maybe, frustrating, sure, but disgusting?! why is everyone mistaking him for the goddamned gorilla?!.. ]
[ Yes. Yes, he is. He's still kind of slow with the typing too.
But, oh, are we sitting? Then why is he standing? Let him just fix that, and join Katsura, bending a leg enough for it to reach Katsura's thigh when it flops down. His hands lie limple between his legs. ]

What is your problem?

Well, unless Katsura flipped over too, Gintoki is definitely lying on his stomach more than his lap now, though other than that falling back with a couch isn't so bad. He just stares up blinking in alarm, though still blearily, as he registers the couch ... the wrong way around. Oh. ]
Ah. She's home.

The hell have you done to me, asshole.

Ah? What?
no subject
[ She's hung up on that. Of course she's hung up on that, it just ended. ]
no subject
I can assure you that we were not aware of the... magic part of this.
no subject
Gintoki makes a weird face. He didn't really know, but he also didn't not know. ]
Ahh, but I got to find out so much about you! It was like you suddenly became human. It was actually pretty nice!
[ Then he blinks, putting a finger to his lips, tapping them curiously. ]
Ah, I suppose that's the problem.
no subject
You better be fucking glad I didn't touch that one, you piece of shit.
[ Doesn't mean she's happy about the visit, however. ]
You 'suppose'? What the hell do you think, if I tell people things about myself I prefer if I get to choose it myself.

What a terrifying woman.
He gets onto his feet with mighty effort, and scrubs a hand over his face. Ugh. Best get an early night today. He really wants to sleep, still. ]
I started a load of laundry. Dunno how long ago that was now.
no subject
[ Look, she can't be any more blunt than this. Unless she shoves her blade through him.
She gives him a look to acknowledge that she's heard him, and a subtle nod. Wow, he's not completely useless? Shocker. ]
Next time you're going to bring your friend over, let me know.

[ She's not going to go into it more than that. Time to ignore the wig again. ]
I'm saying tell me. I obviously can't keep him out now that you live here, but at least send me a text so I know he's here.
[ But if he's being too annoying she'll kick him out. ]
no subject
[ he's pretty and decent and he smells nice?? how is that disgusting. annoying, maybe, frustrating, sure, but disgusting?! why is everyone mistaking him for the goddamned gorilla?!.. ]
I do not follow.
no subject
A huff. Well, he supposes that's not entirely unreasonable. He still crosses his arms with a displeased look, though. ]
Fine.
no subject
She huffs as well, gives Katsura an annoyed look before leaving. She'll leave these idiots alone now. ]
no subject
Unbelievable.
no subject
But, oh, are we sitting? Then why is he standing? Let him just fix that, and join Katsura, bending a leg enough for it to reach Katsura's thigh when it flops down. His hands lie limple between his legs. ]
And I'm supposed to live with this.
no subject
You've always been strong, Gintoki. I know you can make it.
