[ her head cocks to the side. ] Why would I have any complaints?
[ the room is tidy but unremarkable: other than a few clothes laid out, it has the plain look of a hotel whose occupant has yet to settle in. for whatever reason, Rudbeckia is either reluctant to leave her mark or she's refrained from gathering any belongings at all.
she finishes her hair and grabs a cape from her bed before she comes to Sooyoung with a skip in her step. ]
I like you, signora! I really wanted an occasion to get to know you a little better.
Really?! [ oops, maybe she played up the excitement a little too much there... ] Ah, I promise I won't be nosy! And you can ask me anything too!
[ not that Sooyoung isn't already well aware of that, since Ruby has done her very best to present herself as an open book. it just seems worth reiterating, with her three roommates in particular, that she understands how equal trade works in life. ]
[WOW SHE'S SO EXCITED... IS SHE MAKING FUN OF HER....
But Ruby's saved from inciting Sooyoung's suspicion by her follow-up question, nice ruby]
-- Oh, right. I've got some in my room that I haven't touched.
[She'll lead the way to her room. Thankfully(?), neither Kim Dokja or Yoo Joonghyuk pop out to stare them down, otherwise Sooyoung would have forced them to go on this shopping trip too. Her room is similarly bare, in that it has the necessities, but nothing personal that makes it clear that it's hers.
She hunkers down in a corner of the room and points to a very faint indentation in the wall.]
It's in there. You just gotta pull the brick out.
[her money stash.... which is just a heavy bag of coins,]
I... W-Wait, is that really a concern, signora? I know Signor Joonghyuk can be forceful, but... No, in the first place, isn't the worse part getting stabbed?!
[ she had just started thinking she might have chosen well for herself, after Dokja helped with that curse... she mustn't forget that these people are crazy. ]
[EMPHATICALLY!!! Sooyoung starts heading out of the room, surely this is a just the sort of casual conversation you can have while shopping and not just a display of extremely skewed priorities,

...I guess it's true that we don't know each other.
[She'd preen over being liked, if Ruby hadn't also admitted to liking Yoo Joonghyuk? That just means Ruby's standards are weird...]
So the least I can do is answer a question or two while we go shopping.

Do we need to go fetch the coins first?

Ruby obediently removes the brick and pulls out the bag of coins, and then turns to look at Sooyoung with a very earnest expression of deep concern. ]
Are you... worried about having your money taken, signora?
[ by the hesitance with which she asks, it's very likely she's thinking: WAS SOOYOUNG POOR?? IS THIS A POVERTY HABIT??? ]
no subject
Sooyoung shrugs like this is perfectly normal, acceptable behavior to display.]
It's so that Yoo Joonghyuk doesn't find anything if he stomps into my room and stabs me.
[she pauses, considers turning it into a joke...... nah, Rudbeckia should know the Dangers?]
So yeah, gotta be on constant alert, especially with weirdos like them. You should think about hiding your stuff too.

she pauses, then as an aside meant to comfort(?)]
You'll probably be fine.
