[Dino's grin probably shows in his voice. Even if Hibari's irritated, the Cavallone boss can't help but enjoy hearing the sound of his voice over the Dreamberry again.
[Of course it would be nice to hear once familiar tones like teasing, seductive, and amused again, but he'll take what he can get.
[Dino is reassured simply by having the call returned. The guardian must be OK, then]
Just checking in, like I said.
It's getting kind of cold out there, huh? [Ie. "I know you're staying outdoors again." Stubborn as ever]
[Yes, he can hear that smile in his voice, it just annoys him, he has had enough of 'concern' for today from strangers. There is no comfort in it, these are all things he tells himself, denial is a thing.]
I don't need a babysitter. [Yet, he has a point and the tree is gone, his shoulder is not in the greatest of shape and with the chill, well he is bound to get a cold sooner rather than later.]
[That smile is back, though tempered compared to the original grin. This sounds promising, for Hibari to even ask]
That depends.
If you're willing to pitch in, you can work it off. [There was never a question of paying the last time, even before Hibari decided to help out in the kitchen, although he always kept his own room, no matter how often they ended up spending the night together. Even 'together', Dino wasn't surprised that the cloud guardian still held onto his solitude; always an escape clause when he wanted peace or after a disagreement. It was just part of the deal, attempting to forge a relationship with him]
[Thank the frigid nights and earthquake Dino, Hibari is stubborn but also intelligent enough to survive, this means taking quarters indoors and at present he had no other options.]
Fine, but it's only temporary.
[He'll work it off, he is not afraid of hard work but he is also determined to find something of his own, some how, some way, he would not rely on others.]

Only at night.

It's pretty comfortable in here, even with straw mats and screen doors, ahahaha!
Re: Voice-
Okay, staying healthy was not going to happen on these frigid nights but accepting meant.
He is silent for a while.]
What would the old man charge for a room?
[He can make some kind of payment, till he can find something with more privacy, where none of them can bother him...]

I'll let Kurogane know you'll be stopping by, OK?
Re: Voice-
He scoffs but it's as close to a thank you as he is going to come now as he ends the call and takes a few moments before heading for the onsen.]
