did you know that communication is the biggest problem in valkyrie
they're famed for their fucking amazing performances but communication is a lost cause
it is not just shu's fault]
Well-- I mean, sure! I'd like somethin' from Nisa-kun! I'm makin' somethin' for you too, aftwait no don't listen to that, forget I ever thought that! But... Are ya sure?
[ HE IS NOT GOING TO ADDRESS THAT PART bc he knows mika well enough now to know that trying to dissuade him from being nice is a lost cause, also it's embarrassing?!
plowing right along— ]
You're going through the trouble to teach me something. It's... Isn't it a way to show appreciation? If you think something you made because of someone's help is good enough to give to that person...?
He's done that for Shu a few times too, but he'd always been rebuffed by his perfectionist leader; if he had time to make non-essential things then he had time to practice his sloppy, slow steps, if he wanted to get better than he had to actually try than toddle along in everything he did, harsh words like that. Honestly, they hurt a lot at the time, because Mika always tries his best, but the pain's mostly dulled now. He knows that Shu only means them in the best way, improvement through critique, so it's fine.
Still, Mika doesn't think he'll critique this gift.]
I wonder if Oshi-san'd scold me about that, too, [is the only part that slips out, the rest more a passing note of abrupt melancholy, before Mika's... voice??? brightens again.] When ya put it like that, even a brainless guy like me can get it~. Sorry for misunderstandin', Nisa-kun, I'll take yer scarf happily~.
[Especially since Nisaka thinks it's good enough to be given away. That's a lovely confidence in a beginner, Mika wants to make sure it shines brightly.]
