Jogging in the yard

Satoshi looks out the window looking into the backyard to see Dio stretching but it looked like he was stressing over something.

He thinks to himself. "He looks like he has something on his mind for once in his life...he should."

He emerges outside in a plain tank top, running shorts and a pair of sneakers. He picks a spot in the yard to start his stretches as well, not saying a single word to Dio.

Dio looks up only to see Satoshi stretching as- wait... Satoshi? He actually got here first?
He gulps and finishes his stretch session. He 'discretely' approaches the fellow houseguest and coughs to get his attention.

"Good to see uhhh.... you outside here, man. Ready for a workout?" He gives Satoshi an awkward smile, and changes his posture every 3 seconds trying to find a comfortable position to stand in without looking tense.

He was still a bit angry at him for throwing that magazine right at his face on day 1, but holding grudges seems pretty useless. That's why he decided to let it slip for now. At this moment, he just hoped to have a good talk, maybe grow closer to him instead of growing apart. They did share a room after all.

Satoshi takes quick glances at Dio while he is still stretching. He has a strange feeling that he didn't like, maybe...irritation. No, he knew what it was...disgust. At first, he tries to ignore Dio's question for a few seconds. But Satoshi eventually gives in to Dio's just to make him stop giving that creepy smile.



"Ready as I will ever be. But i must ask you something. Is there something on your mind, Diorno?" He says as he is still stretching, refusing to look at him.

Satoshi stops in the middle of his stretches just to give Dio a stern look in the eyes. He gets up off the ground and gets to eye level with him

"I just have to say, have you ever wondered why I know your full name? You introduced yourself as Dio to the entire household and no one else has called you by your full name. If you think I am one of your loyal fans, know this much. I hate sports without a shadow of a doubt. So tell me Diorno, how else do you think I would know that bit of information about you?"

Satoshi tries so hard to hold back a laugh from how ridiculous that response sounded. But a little bit ends up slipping out anyway.

"How could I even access the internet? We have no cell phones and there is no computer in the house. So, no. You got it wrong."

He then walks over Dio and places a hand on his shoulder.

"I'll just leave you at that. I would hate to have to spell it out for you."

He then takes off on his jog, leaving behind a very confused Dio.

Satoshi stops where he stands to see Manda standing next to Dio. He is a bit skeptical about how much she heard of their conversation. He can only pray that she didn't hear any of it. He has to go against his morals. But he doesn't want to arouse any suspicion

"We were just having a conversation about the game and where it might go from here. We just realized how stressful it can be in the future. But we talked it out and everything will sort itself out."

Satoshi takes a step back from Manda since she is too close for comfort. But his face says otherwise, he can't let his guard down around her. Not even for a moment.

"Really? I thought I was rather upfront with how I felt about people, rather it be positive or negative. I guess I was wrong so thank you for letting me know."
