To tell the truth, he tried. At least he tried. Everyone else had dispensed with the trying after one or two times, yet Sena had tried for at least ten, an achievement all on it's own.
First, it was the phone.
"Shin, did you forget your cell phone? Here, use mine," Sena said all in one breath.
"I do not own a cell phone," Shin replied steadily as they pounded pavement towards the intersection where they would have to split.
"Yes, but if you call your parents then we can go jogging a little longer than usual. Extra training, y'know?"
At the sound of extra training, Shin's ears perked up. He snatched the cell phone from Sena's hand and proceeded to flip it open. Upon being met with the keypad and the brightly lit screen, he only paused in his running to stare at what, to him, looked like a stuffed elephant sitting on top of a carrot peeler. Carefully, he separated the two items, which by theory, should never really go together, and handed the stuffed elephant and carrot peeler back to Sena.
"You really should not be carrying a carrot peeler around in your pocket while running," he advised. "It may be abrasive towards your skin."
On one hand, Sena was happy that he was worried for him. On the other, he wasn't sure if he should be dreading asking his parents for a new cell phone.
(or he could just take one from Hiruma or Ishimaru - the former had plenty and the latter was too nice to resist; on second thought, he shouldn't bother either of them, it was both frightening and immoral)
Or maybe Sena should just take Shin to the Funny Farm.
All were viable options.
