All right. Then would you mind getting that last one?

[Athrun moves to the bag that Sena indicated and opens it.]

[erogegames]

[ and she does. that one'll be full of her gaming systems and laptop ]

[infinitejustice]

[Athrun carries that bag over to the desk, removes the laptop, and sets it down on the desk. It's soon followed by whatever handheld systems she owns. He leaves the gaming consoles in the bag, however, since this room doesn't contain a TV.]

I guess I'll take the rest of these downstairs and set them up in the den. Anything else you need for the moment?

[erogegames]

They can be set up in here, can't they? There's no reason why a TV can't be put in here.

[infinitejustice]

It's a 55-inch TV and cost me nearly $2000. I am not moving it.

[erogegames]

And we're not hooking up the gaming systems in any other rooms.

[infinitejustice]

Then you're out of luck.

[erogegames]

... What did you say to me?

[infinitejustice]

Simply put, I said that I'm not moving the TV, and if you don't want to play your console games in the den, then you won't play them.

[erogegames]

You can't just-- You're working under my daddy! You can't just say something like that to me!

[infinitejustice]

I may be working for your father, but nowhere in the mandate did it say that I had to obey your commands. Furthermore, this is still my house.

[erogegames]

It's still his money that you're getting! I can call him right now and tell him to find someone else!

[infinitejustice]

And do you think he'll listen? Which do you suppose he cares about more, your life or your convenience?

[erogegames]

You aren't irreplaceable.

[infinitejustice]

You'll find it difficult to find anyone else with comparable credentials. Besides, I never asked for this job.

[erogegames]

What do you mean "you never asked for this job"?

[infinitejustice]

I was offered the job, and I accepted. I never actively sought your father out to take this job.

[erogegames]

But, it was still your choice to take it, wasn't it?

[infinitejustice]

It was, but only because it was me.

[erogegames]

Ah.... In other words... You wouldn't deny a job if it was offered.

[infinitejustice]

There's more to it than that. I'm not one to just blindly accept whatever is given to him.

[erogegames]

Then, c'mon--spit it out. You can't just start with that and expect me not to be curious.

[infinitejustice]

...I'm afraid not. My reasons are personal.

[erogegames]

... But, what kind of story is this if you can't continue at all?

[infinitejustice]

Who said it was a story?
