That's a way, surely, but also, it isn't lying. I gave you an answer, didn't I? It just didn't really answer it, just enough. That's the end of today's class!
(why is it that he keeps teaching teenagers shady shit...)
I should start heading home. Chuuya's been... Ah, honestly, unimaginably much more unbearable, so I'm gonna have to go distract him. Do you have a dog ball or something? Maybe I can teach him fetch.
[She snorts a laugh. Honestly after all that, she still doesn't know how to think of Dazai. He'd been so upfront about murdering people, leading a crime organization, but... he doesn't seem like a bad person. At least, not to her. Maybe it's just her "bad person" meter is irrevocably broken.]
Take him for a nice long walk and let him run around to tire him out, I guess.
He's exactly like a dog. A tiny, angry, shaky, mafioso chihuahua. I think I can hide some bottles of wine and let him sniff it around in eternal hate and fury, that might do it.
(he's not great, he really isn't, but there's intent. being better, being a savior, protecting rather than hurting. he tries, so, so, so very hard.)
[She holds up one finger in a, "wait a moment," gesture and scoots up from the table. She'd assumed Dazai would pay for her coffee, but she heads back up to the counter to point at one of the small pastry cases to purchase two of them to go in separate bags. One's for her, and when she comes back, she hands the other one to Dazai along with another handful of coins for him to get his own if he wants. Otherwise, it just covers the cost of her coffee.]
Well, maybe he'll like a snack. It's what we'd always do for Koro-chan before taking him on a walk. [She's just leaning into comparing Chuuya to a dog because it's funny...] I'll see you around, Dazai-san!

[It's not that she's ungrateful, but it isn't exactly the most conventional thing to learn, either.]
