Tsumutsumu is cute all around!! But you have really nice hands, and I wanna see your collar bones more ~!

[That's more than one thing. And also, uh.]

[tsumtsuki]

H-huh? [ //////???!?! ]

I guess it's my turn now? Let's see... [ Should he say three things now? And what was with that last one?! ] Honestly, I really admire your creativity and passion. Those are both gifts, Kazu-kun.

[ He pauses, then adds. ] ... I also like your smile.

[natsupiko]

[His smile... uuu Tsumugi is so pure.]

... I like your smile, too. [Hmm, hmm, what else. That feels like a cop-out since he's repeating Tsumugi but "everything" isn't an answer either.] Your calming presence. Being around Tsumutsumu really puts me at ease.

[tsumtsuki]

[ That gets a smile out of him - the very same smile he just said he likes. ]

I'm glad to hear it. [ Two this time? ] Similarly, I like your energizing presence. You make me and others smile so easily.

[natsupiko]

[Kazunari laughs.] I love your drawings!

[tsumtsuki]

- Really? [ Wait, wait, hold on. His long animals have art student approval????? ]

[fridrich]

You make a really dumb face when you're eating eggs sometimes. Like you're really enjoying it. It's cute...

[Banri hates this. He HATES this!! There are a ton of things he loves about Tsumugi, but saying them out loud??? Harder than you'd think!]

[tsumtsuki]

[ BANRI.............. Tsumugi laughs, but not at him in any way. ]

I appreciate how kind you are. You're always looking for me, even in the smallest of ways.

[fridrich]

[Hsngh the second reason he hates this: getting compliments from Tsumugi is just as embarrassing.]

Someone needs to look out for you. You're way too considerate of other people, which I like. But you need to think of yourself sometimes, too. [Does that count? Ahhhh uuuuhgh.]

[tsumtsuki]

You're not wrong about that... [ He can admit as much, though doing anything about it is a different story. ]

I like that you can be honest with me. It makes me happy to know that you trust me in some way.

[fridrich]

[Blush.]

You... I've admired your passion since I first met you. [He's glad they met when they did. He might have actually hated Tsumugi if they'd met before Mankai.]

[tsumtsuki]

Banri-kun... [ That actually makes him pause. Of course, he knew that Banri held him in high regard. He wouldn't ask for his insight otherwise. But to hear him say it out loud...

He reaches out for his hand. ] I'm proud of how far you've come. [ He'd only heard stories about the early days of Autumn Troupe, but even in the time that Tsumugi's been involved with Mankai, Banri's improved leaps and bounds as an actor and person. ]

[fridrich]

[9hyodo]

You're really strong!

[ BUT NOT AS STRONG AS-- no wait this is about banri, none of that right now!! ]

[fridrich]

[Squint. He can hear the comparison to Hyodo in his head.]

You've gotten better at improv.

[9hyodo]

[ HEY, he didn't complete the comparison, give him some credit!!!

Kumon beams at the praise. ] Hehe! [ - but oh, right, another thing he likes. ] Y'know, your Luciano's pretty cool!

[fridrich]

Just my Luciano???

[9hyodo]

[ To be fair, Kumon even paying attention to Banri when Juza is right there is a high compliment.

But also he's giggling up a storm, tickled pink by the outburst. ] You gotta wait 'til my next thing!! [ Saying all his roles at once is cheating??? It's one thing he likes, not a gazillion????? ]

[lleonti]

[fraldaring]

You're a strong opponent.

[ felix. felix you've been with this man for how long? can you please say something else-- ]

[lleonti]

[Because they've been together for so long, Dimitri isn't even phased. He smiles, gentle.]

You, too, are a fine swordsman.

[fraldaring]

[ ... well fuck. What's something he won't hate admitting? ]

You've become a worthy king. [ (not "good", because dimitri can argue too easily if he tries to say he's good) ]

[lleonti]

[That's cheating.]

I... [He looks bashful.] Well, I have the best advisor Fodlan could ask for at my side.

[That's you, Felix.]

[fraldaring]

[ sounds INCREDIBLY fake but ok dimitri ]

Someone has to keep you in check. [ Goodness knows he'd run himself into the ground otherwise, trying to fix literally every problem in Fodlan. Felix can't entirely stop him from digging himself into holes, but he can at least yank his ass out of the dirt before he suffocates.

He averts his gaze as he continues. ] ... But your heart's usually in the right place.
