It wouldn't be the first time he's done something like that here, either. [ with a little huff of a sigh, caught somewhere between exasperated and fond. by now, he's gotten pretty used to mei's particular brand of dramatic flair, but... sometimes, it's still enough to make him want to pinch the bridge of his nose and Sigh. ] But he's also snapped back pretty quickly, too. Even without a teammate around to give him a good kick in the butt.

[ ... itsuki doesn't exactly seem like the butt-kicking type, but. well. ]

Don't worry. Sometimes I think even I'm still a little overwhelmed, but... you learn to manage. Especially when you've got good friends around.

Which is why I'll definitely keep the offer in mind! [ and his grin turns playful again, tone lilting up into a laugh. ] Mei keeps warning me that I'm going to get sick of Kazuya any minute, so it's probably better to be prepared, huh?
