You will catch the basic meaning if you substitute it for "laid".
-- oof.
[ Elbows him back. ]
Good.
[ He has no idea how Gintoki hasn't gotten out of shape over the years, to be honest. Or maybe he has, and this is how he can still fight when out of shape. Food for thought what a machine he must've been in the old years. Anyway... ]
[ Maybe they should take up jogging while here. ]
[ The thought is accompanied by that detached, somewhat dreamy look on Katsura's face that he has when he's coming up with complete bullshit of a plan. ]
Unlike you, I have more important matters to attend.
[ No, no he doesn't either. ]
[ It's still good enough, yes. Katsura feels old at times, too. But they have less enemies to worry about now. Maybe, somehow, it will still work out... ]
Ah, sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I actually mean, no, you can't be here at seven, or six, or eight. Or any other time that's before noon. Or any time at all.
[ Sadly, Zura is dumb and trusting in situations like these, so he thinks it's as good as agreed on. He will, of course, have a wide array of plans for when it turns out otherwise, still. ]
Excellent. I'll start preparing as soon as I get home.

Speak for yourself.
[ There's a pause, and he scratches the back of his head. ]
I won't forget.
[ He's reminded every day when his so called family here comes down for breakfast in the morning. Wrong faces. ]

[ but he nods, solemn. ]
It's as if this place wants to lul us into a fake sense of security. There may be more to it than meets the eye. Keep your guard up, Gintoki.

[ Driving an elbow into Katsura's side is a pretty safe bet though because it's definitely an insult nonetheless so. That's what he does. ]
I know, I know. I haven't forgotten.
[ How to do that. As far removed as his life is from the one Katsura is still in a way leading.
He's been on guard since he came and he'll be damned if he drops it. ]

Like you do.
[ He probably has. He certainly feels older and like he can't do it like he used to. But it's fine for him, really. He makes do.
And he's not alone, usually. So it's fine.
He glances at Katsura, and

[ TOO LATE HE'S LOOKING AT YOU GINTOKI ]

Oh. ]
Yeah, sure, you do that.

Flawless plan. ]
