Yeah? How else would I know I don't make a good one?
[ He's got friends!! They are great friends. He is maybe not a good one in return, refuses to rely on them at all, but he's got the one-sided experience. ]
...You're really telling me to Plus Ultra! friendship.
[ He shakes his head, though, because everything he does and has done have always been very deliberate- those aren't mistakes, he's not a bad friend for no reason, there is no meaning of changing how he is at this time. ]
I don't need bonus points, it's okay! [she's learning, oh dear]
Lemme know if you wanna go look around the spaceship, okay?? I think it would be fun. Even if you wanna do it by yourself, maybe I can just tag along for a little bit!
[ He could be innocently carrying a saw around and people descend upon him en masse going "WHAT ARE YOU DOING" he knows he's the boy who cried wolf too many times already ]
That was honest enough though, right? What you just said?
[hmph. She gets off his foot, anyway, she knows that was a little mean.]
Maybe it won't make you look all that good, but maybe you won't think of yourself so badly if you don't have to make all your thoughts a big lie all the time?
[ Two people have gotten Kano thoughts already and he hated every moment of it ):
And he definitely doesn't want to voice any of that around Hikaru, not right now, when he's feeling like this, taking a step back now that his foot is free and shoving his hands into his pockets unless they were already there and I can't be assed to parent up and check. ]
Aw, it'd be too easy if I just told you now, right? We're gonna leave those questions as hypothetical; it doesn't involve you, so you don't need to know~

I don't make a good friend.
[ He also does not want a friend— doesn't need one, thinks it would be so much worse if he had one. Especially here. ]

[She takes the poke in stride, face scrunching up a bit.]
Life's so much harder if there's nobody you can rely on.

Just cause you're a bad friend sometimes doesn't mean that's how you always have to be. Sometimes you just need a different perspective!
Nothing can really happen if you don't choose what you wanna do with your mistakes, you know?

[too bad poor hikaru can't see his meta text or maybe she'd have More Concerns]
I meant what I said. I'm not gonna give up on you, regardless of what you choose. I just wanna see you smile for real one day.
no subject
[ He wants to go home!!!!! then maybe he will smile for real u_u returning to the "real smile sometime in the future" canon point is still possible ]

[you sad mean goblin boy.....
There's a beat before she pulls away from him]
...That's okay. It's not like this place is anywhere any of us want to be.
I'll wait, Nico-kun. And if I do learn that dance, I'll show it to you. Even if you just laugh at me, I still want you to smile about it.
[And she lets go of his hand. Go, angry bee man, you're free.]

Do your best, Hi~ ka~ ru~ Maybe it's nothing to smile about, but it's something to look forward to. Bonus points if you bring dance partners!

If you were gonna murder somebody, you wouldn't bother to tell me anything.

[ Sharing his inner Kano thoughts? Oh boy, no way. No one gets to hear that. ]
no subject

It's that bad? Like what?
What could be so horrible in your mind that you really don't want to tell the truth to anybody?
no subject
