[probably in the courtyard we'll go with that
anyway!! he blinks at the nickname, but he doesn't seem put off by it, turning to senri with a smile.]
Ah, Nito-kun. I'm free for the moment- did you need something?

Do you, now? I suppose I can't turn you down, when you sound so eager to show it off.
[so he nods, apparently willing enough to indulge senri in whatever sort of surprise this happens to be.]

[that gets a slight laugh as he nods, bending so that senri can reach... he knows he's too damn tall, you're welcome.]
Of course, of course. Is this better?
[senri does sound like he knows what he's doing, he'll go along with it-- and okay, ishi can't deny being curious, watching him with some interest.]

Oh-! You're right, it's lovely.
[that's endearing? that's really cute, actually, and ishi absolutely sounds delighted, his smile brightening further.]
So you truly do know magic. I'm impressed, Nito-kun.
[if nothing else, isn't making someone smile a magic of its own? he's heard as much more than once.
now let me ruin this cute thread by saying how hard it is to type anything about accepting a rose without wanting to make a bachelor joke the one time i definitely cannot]

[he better be here for six weeks, save these kids?
but he accepts it with a little nod, head slightly tilted at that last bit.]
Is that so? Then I suppose I cannot let you fail such a mission. [it seems harmless enough, aka i am now waiting for you to tell me It's Not.] For what purpose were you told to do so, if I might ask?

[why would we trust /:
ishi hums thoughtfully there, glancing down to the flower for a few moments.]
In that case, I will see what I can do. I've meant to speak with more of them as it is.

I've found the same, I think-- at the least, I have not objected to any I've spoken with.
[after a brief pause, he adds:]
Though one of those believed roughly half of them have come into this with good intentions. Perhaps we've simply met the right ones.

That was their opinion, yes.
[and he doesn't like the idea of it much either, honestly.]
Though I cannot say I've spoken with enough of them yet to tell you whether I agree.

I am not often accused of being reckless.
[he gives senri a reassuring little smile, there.]
I have not tried speaking with any of those just yet, but I will keep that in mind when I do.

Of course. If nothing else, I will let you know if I am unsuccessful, so that you know what not to try.
[he considers a moment, though, and-]
I have left offerings for them that at least did not seem to offend any of them enough to respond with a curse, but then I also was not trying to contact them. Perhaps they mind it less if one isn't attempting to truly get their attention.
[he was just. leaving them for every god, tbh.]

[yeah dad is absolutely going to come find him after he runs the fuck off, wherever he happens to have ended up before ishi catches up; considering how fast he left, this just didn't seem like the time to try to catch him right there in the courtyard.]
... Nito-kun. I hope you don't mind the company.
[because he seems like he needs it & he is therefore getting it.]

You don't have to be.
[ishi takes a seat on that last stair, though after senri didn't turn to look at him-- he doesn't try to push it. he's looking ahead, just sort of keeping senri in his peripheral vision instead.]
It is not something you should force, but neither does it mean that you should be alone.

As I have been informed several times, I am not the most exciting individual myself. [a very faint touch of amusement slips into his tone, there, but it fades again quickly enough.] I promise you, I do not find this boring.
[he'd be perfectly content to sit here and say nothing, honestly, if that was what senri wanted. just as long as he doesn't have to do it alone.]
