[It takes a great deal of willpower to tear his gaze from the phone, looking back to Jamil...

And then a little trapped noise escaping his throat because that image is still *very* vivid in his mind's eye.]

You said there's— one of each of us?

[He nods at the first question, and then he shakes his head at the next.]

No, it's different for each. It mostly depends on the sort of outfits that are requested by the viewers.

[That doesn't make it much better. There's a shiver that runs through his body, wondering exactly what kinds of people are watching them...

He moves to return the phone to Jamil.]

This city really is vile.

[He takes it back, and then offers Riddle a small, reassuring smile.]

It might be better to focus entirely on details such as the fact that you're getting a profit... Or you could try embracing it, in a way. I found doing that to be... challenging, at first, but very beneficial to my mental health.

[Jamil reaches out to lightly rest a hand on Riddle's head.]

[Ugh. Much as he knows Jamil's right, right now it grates against him. Such blatant disrespect for personal privacy...

There's a huff as he crosses his arms.]

I understand each culture has their own set of laws and values, but there's so much even I will tolerate.

[hrmpf]

I suppose while I'm here, I might as well see what I can do to have them put some more regulations in place... If they'll listen to me.
