[Elliot's reaction confuses him so much that the question marks are almost visible to anyone looking at him. Jusis is quiet for a moment before shrugging lightly and resuming the recorder cleaning.]
Then I suppose I should pick up the pace somewhat. I'd hate to keep you here all day.
[Not that he'll sacrifice efficiency for speed or else Elliot will probably kill him and never let him touch another instrument again.]
[Yeah, Jusis doesn't quite catch what Elliot mutters. He's even about to ask, but then his friend beats him to it. The blond kind of stares at him for a moment before going back to cleaning the recorder.]
I can imagine that it isn't, considering all of the varieties I see here. But that maintenance is important. I can see that much, and I can see that you truly care for the upkeep of instruments, whether they're yours or not. It's admirable.
[That's another recorder polished to perfection. He takes another one from the pile.]
I hope you've been going home at a decent hour, though.
Well of course I care about their maintenance. [Duh] Even if they aren't the instruments I use, they're the ones my students use. And I wanna make sure my students have the best proper experience with music, which means they gotta have instruments that work perfectly.
[No slacking off on this job!! If he wants to spread the power of music, then he has to make sure to eliminate any obstacles in the way]
Haha, well that depends. How late were you planning to patrol tonight? Because I'm going with you.
Heh, I like my sleep a bit too much. It's a pity that I'm an early riser.
[Mercifully for poor Elliot, he finishes cleaning the last recorder. The blond stands up, hesitates for a moment, then puts a gentle hand on the redhead's shoulder.]
I'll come by your place when it's time for my patrol shift to start. If Rean doesn't have any obligations tomorrow morning, he's welcome to join.

[HELP.
He'll start focusing really hard on cleaning the xylophone]
I-I mean, I really appreciate the help! I wanted to get all these instruments a proper cleaning while everyone's on break, though it's not easy job.

[Elliot's so intense... Not that Jusis minds that, all things considered.
... He really should've expected that, honestly. The blond glances at his friend.]
And that depends on how late you're willing to stay up. I won't subject you to burning the midnight oil if you would rather not.

Hehe, don't worry about me. I'm more of an night owl anyway. Really the only reason I ever go to bed before 1am is because Rean forces me.
