[You talk too much, man. It takes him a moment to even parse the phrase "amendable to the task".]

Ah, I see. She's punching people too hard?

[Yeah, you're not even the fifth person to think that about him.]

Essentially, yes.

[Thoughtful pause, then a very important question:]

Is she annoying?

I do not find her so.

[Real question is "does Zenyatta find anyone annoying?"]

[Saitama will trust him on that because he has no clue what sort of company Zenyatta keeps aside from himself, and he doesn't think himself is annoying.]

Is she gonna expect to live with me?

I am very certain she will not be living with you, no.

You sure?

[He will hold you to this, bro.]

I have not asked her, but considering her lifestyle, I would be extremely surprised if she intended to stay with you.

[A long pause, and a sound of fingers rubbing a chin thoughtfully, if such a sound can be audible that is.

Then:]

...you think she'd pay me?

[He asks that carefully, knowing Zenyatta would probably judge this question.]

Absolutely not.

[ Considering how hard it was to convince her to even talk to Saitama... payment is definitely out of the question. ]

Pfft. People are so cheap nowadays.

[Please, don't point out the hypocrisy.]

I guess if you really think she needs help I can give a pointer or two.

Though, I got no clue what those pointers would even be.

[But he'll trust Zenyatta not to send a weirdo his way that will be a Genos 2.0 and who actually needed help and just wasn't looking to get stronger.]

I believe if you gave her a demonstration of what you can do, she would be able to ask specific questions as to what she would require help with. "How do I hold back," and "how do I know what amount of force to use?"

...

Do you require money, Saitama?

Okay, sure. I can do what I can, I guess.

[Pause at his question, then he realizes:]

I guess I don't. Not like we really buy stuff around here, do we?

Alright. But if you are ever in need of money, I will try to assist you.

[ He's taking this as a genuine need for money, so yeah, feel guilty bro. ]

[Now you got him feeling anxious.]

Wait, do I actually need money? Am missing something that you need to pay for??

I meant when we leave Oska.

Oh. Phew. You freaked me out for a second. Thought I might've been skipping out on rent or something.

Ah, yes. Rent.

I forgot about that.

So there IS rent here??

[ Cue: warm laughter. The sound of an angel giggling, while also being a FUCKING TROLL. ]

Wh--hey, that's not a funny joke! Rent is very serious business!

I apologize! I have not paid rent anywhere in years.

[Annoyed huffing.]

I guess that's a good enough excuse. I forget about how important rent is every few months or so back home, too.

Perhaps you should have your student remind you.

No! He's a busy body enough!
