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~

[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.

[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!

Do you know anything about cacti?
no subject
Why?

no subject
No, no, wait a sec. What are you doing with a cactus?

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

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?

She doesn't chase him down this time, holding her hands close to herself instead.]
Nico-kun...
Okay. Can you try to tell me someday? Not right now, just...
Someday, if you know I won't tell anybody else?
no subject
Nope! 'cause all that's gonna do is hurt you, so you've missed your chance!
no subject
See, she's learning.]
You know I'll listen anyway, right?
no subject
For whatever good it does, sure. I know you'll listen.
no subject
Okay. As long as you know that.
I'll keep reminding you, if I have to. Even if you decide you never wanna tell me anything, even your name... I'll be here anyway.
If you change your mind about the cactus, let me know, okay? I'll let you do it yourself if you really want to.
