[It's true, that wasn't exactly what he was thanking Trip for, but saying what he was thanking him for would be way too embarrassing, so he'll smile and leave it at that!]
Nah, that'd be too much work! When I'm older, I wanna marry rich and never work. [He declares proudly.]
[He keeps smiling at the question of how they met, but... Hm. That's not really something he can tell Trip the details of, given how he freaked out back then when Gold was just talking to Attila at the cafe. "Well, Attila stalked me and told Ken where to find me and he showed up at my front door, looking for me!" ...Yeah, nope.]
He was visiting Ohritori Island on vacation and then came to talk to me since I look like his brother, I guess. [Gold shrugs casually.] It was kinda weird so I told him not to treat me like his brother and said he should call me Brett instead.
[Gold doesn't exactly hate Ken or anything, he just keeps an intentional wall between them because he doesn't want to have a family-like relationship with anyone that isn't his family. Ken's nice, after all. Gold can't let himself think of him as a brother or he'll... He doesn't really know what would happen or anything, but it gives him the heebie-jeebies. He feels like if he loses track of who his family really is he'll lose something. He can't explain it, even to himself.]
