[Lili, please, who are you trying to fool... Namazuo smiles, but he doesn't push. What she'd seen in this room of mirrors was too painful--now is hardly the time.]
He likes to be bothered.
[But that's all he'll say as he gets to his feet, leading the way towards the door.]
We'll look for somewhere better to take shelter, okay? Let's check any buildings that are in decent condition. They might have food or water.
[No... don't make her confront her Kashuu feelings, nebulous and weird as fuck as they are.
Her face pinches up for just a moment at the comment - it's not like she disagrees. Kashuu is the type of person to seek attention from anyone, right? But somewhere dangerous like this, Lili would rather not be the object of his fussing. Not when she'd rather he take care of himself.
So instead she'll leave that be and follow Namazuo.]
Understood.
[ . . . ]
I'm in your debt. I'll repay you once we leave this place.
It's a good thing they have more pressing matters to deal with right now, or else Namazuo might've actually started thinking that. But it's only a matter of time before he starts following them around with a bucket of sakura petals, let's be real.
His first instinct is to brush it off, to say that it's fine and she doesn't owe him anything. But he knows what kind of reaction that would get, so he bites his tongue, considering how best to respond.]
I like dango. [He says eventually, as they step outside. He stops, looking and listening for any sign of monsters, but it seems like the coast is clear right now.] I'd like it if you came for tea one day.
[Okay but would they mind being followed with a bucket of sakura petals or would it just suit their #aesthetic.
Regardless, she blinks at the admission - it's almost the first time that someone's agreed to let her repay them for their kindness and it's not... bad. Dango, is it? Ah, food sounds so appetizing right now.... She finds herself reminiscing after crepes and parfaits and other foods shared with people-
[Under normal circumstances, he definitely would've protested too--it already feels wrong to phrase this in this manner. But tea and company are things he genuinely enjoys, and this would be a much better "repayment" than something serious and deadly.]
I'll be waiting, then. [Y'know, once he's back from being dead.] Ah, in that case, have you met our master already?
But Lili shakes her head at that, ducking her head a little bit.]
Not yet.... I try not to be too intrusive when I come by. Kashuu was the only one to extend the invitation to me, though I do still need to pay my respects to Haru.
[she just couldn't pick out what sort of gift to give him]
It's tempting to say something along the lines of "mi casa es tu casa", about how any friend of Kashuu's is a friend of everyone's, about how they're a family. But that's edging too close to things Namazuo doesn't want to think about out here. Not at a time like this. So instead, he just smiles.]
Well, now you have an invitation from me, as well. And I'm sure master will be delighted to meet you.
[ . . . . and here's where Lili starts to regain a bit of normalcy because there's no denying those are really flattering words?! (Or they're just average-level nice and that comes off as really flattering to Lili.)
A little huff.]
D-Delighted? You just met me.... You can't say that for sure!
[OH NO the tsun is coming out in full force... how adorable.]
Eh? Does it take that long to decide something like that? [He laughs, shaking his head.] Master is that kind of person, anyway! He'll be happy to know we're making good friends like you.
