[ That has him finally put the icing cone down, turn, and stare at her with a mixture of abject horror and disbelief. ]

Really??

[ NO???? ]

[Okay, maybe it didn't make him feel better. She clears her throat (away from the food) before nodding very slowly.]

Well, you have many admirers, and I think they just want to call you something that could be vaguely affectionate.

They're completely unnecessary.

[ Leaving things vague as to whether he was talking about the admirers or the nickname, but the frustration and annoyance in his tone is evident. ]

Why are they so interested in us outsiders anyway?

Such things you may find frustratingly trivial, but sometimes the most unnecessary action is how one shows their admiration and affection.

[She wasn't siding with them, but she at least hoped he wouldn't be mad at his admirers. It's probably different for him here now he has to interact with so many humans.]

I am unsure why they are interested in us outsiders. Possibly out of curiosity. But some more so than others, for example, you. The way you treat everyone, and how you look, I am not surprised you are so well liked.

Tch... well, if they really like us, then they should give us some peace.

[ It's not like he doesn't like attention, but unwanted attention is something else altogether.

And then he catches what Vietnam actually says... ]

How I look? Why is that relevant?

[She chuckles quietly] Spoken just just a popular celebrity. I agree though, it is times like these that one can appreciate privacy.

[At first she gives him an incredulous look, since with such confidence, surely he knows that good looks can go a long way. It certainly has for the store.

But what if he really doesn't get it? She clears her throat, this is going to be embarrassing to explain.]

W-well ah, it is relevant because as a handsome man who dresses well, many would admire you for your looks. [Well, she had to be honest.]

[ He's quiet for a few moments while he processes her words - it's possible to almost see the gears turning in his head, of how he fit what she just told him together -

- and of course it ends in him brightening up and flashing her one of his confident smiles. ]

Ah, I see now. [ Humans and their sense of aesthetic... ] Well, thank you. I didn't knew you thought that way.

[She'll give him some time to let it process...ah, there, he's happy again.

She even manages to smile since he looks cheerful.]

Yes--... [......until his last comment.]

I-I! It's common sense, isn't it?! [A bit too loudly, so she softens her voice.] I mean, I state only the truth!

[ Oho. ]

Is that so? [ He might be teasing her just a little here. ] I'll take your word for it, then.

[Now if she played it cool, he would never have expected. Well shit.]

Yes, it is so. It is not something I can lie about, and it's rather obvious, no?

[Insert increasingly tsun icon here.] N-now do you understand why you are so popular!

[ To that, he just does some sort of half-shrug. ]

If you'd put it that way, then yes. [ tsunning doesn't work on him... ] Man, if those people would be as mellow as you in putting their point across, it'd be a lot better.

[ wait ]

Good, I am glad you understand--

[Immune to tsuns...goddammit. She's not even a strong tsun, her kuu powers are too strong.]

I'm...not entire sure if I would consider my point...mellow...

[If the floor can open up and swallow her whole now, it'll be great, thanks.]

You're doing it better than everyone else.

[ Said with a simple half-shrug, and a tilt of his head. ]

I'd prefer to hang out with people who actually are able to do intelligent conversation instead of just being interested in my looks.

[ That kind of puts Vietnam above a good part of the Cerealian population... not that the natives are mellow anyway, but still. ]

[...oh...well now she's actually touched by this. More so than he thinks because she finds it difficult to make friends when she's both shy and rather stern looking.]

Really? I'm thankful for your opinion. It is an honour to be held in such high regard, that I am able to provide you with conversation. I find you easy to talk to, it makes comfortable. [More so than his looks too.]

But I should be thanking you. That you, someone confident and charming, would want to even, ah, hang out with me.

[Look, she has to be honest, even though Midare warned her about giving Mitsutada too many compliments. IT'S FUCKING HARD OKAY.]

[ If anything, Mitsutada doesn't seem to think it excessive (?!) and just takes it in stride. Keep feeding his ego, Vietnam.

(Not that he has much of it, but being appreciated once in a while is nice.)

He chuckles a little, flicking a loose strand of hair away from his face. ]

You're very interesting.

[Maybe it doesn't seem excessive because half her compliments get held back since she's a borderline tsundere. But she could keep feeding his ego if he keeps doing this!!! UGH. Not that she knows his ego isn't as big as everyone claims it is either. He's cool to her...

She flushes again when he says this so calmly, just flicking his hair away. Here she's twisting the ends of her ponytail.]

I...I believe you might be the only one who thinks that.
