"That's really amazing, Kanji." Souji smiled sincerely at his friend, looking for him "I mean that-- I'm really impressed. I don't know how I'm going to get by with... well."

He lifted his hoof off, looking at it with mild concern "These. I've got a lot to learn," He managed a small smirk, glancing back at Kanji.

"Should I start calling you senpai, now, I wonder?"

[topgun_textiles]

"Whuh? H-hey, the hell's with the sudden senpai stuff!?" Though he was blushing, despite jabbing a hoof in his direction.

"You got that horn, y'know! Make stuff move, hold stuff, break it or fix it! I just managed to figure out how to hold a needle, that's all!"

[timeloopingfool]

Hahah, that's his Kanji; blushing at compliments and fumbling endearingly. It was nice to know that hadn't changed.

"That's still impressive, you do realise, right? I bet your stuff looks just as good as it does back home, too." Reaching up to touch his horn, however, he nodded.

"If you need any help though, with holding fabric and the like while sewing, it could be good practice for me." And make sure he could help his friend with his hobbies. He liked being involved, after all...

[topgun_textiles]

"Never really compared it side by side, so I dunno if there's improvement or the other way," he replied with a shrug. Whether it was humble or the fact that he just couldn't tell wasn't altogether evident.

But an ear lowered, and he still looked unsure. This was Souji-senpai, sure, but whether he was the guy from his time or not he still had those last niggling doubts in his heart.

"I'd ask a unicorn. I know one who runs her own boutique- could direct ya do her- but I dunno if helping me with my stuff'd be any better practice, all told."

[timeloopingfool]

"Ah..." That uncertainty in Kanji's expression, Souji wasn't sure what to make of it. It left a discomfort deep inside, though he tried to ignore it for now.

"Well, it would give me something to do with you, at least." He nodded, but... maybe it was better to let this line of conversation drop. Casting about for a topic, he remembered...

"Hey, at the start... you asked if anyone came with me, right? Was there someone you were thinking of?"

[topgun_textiles]

"Nobody," he answered immediately, not looking at him.

"Okay- anybody from home, be it some double or anybody we're missing. We had this weird thing happen where people just poured in from all over, but then disappeared after a week or somethin' like that."

He wondered if that was happening here, but things seemed quiet today.

[timeloopingfool]

"...Was it a Naoto?" He knows that 'not' look, Kanji, and you answered that too quickly.

"Did a Naoto ... 'double' show up then?"

[topgun_textiles]

"...Sh-shuddup," he grumbled finally. Couldn't pull the wool over this dude's eyes.

"Just wanted to make sure Calice ain't fuckin' with her again, is all."

[timeloopingfool]

"... Is there a chance Calice would? ...Besides turning her into a pony, I mean."

Now he was concerned, the gentle teasing let go for obvious worrying over their team mate.

"But, I haven't gotten to... 'meet' Naoto yet, unfortunately. The first time I see her is when she's talking to your mother at the textile shop, and then after talking to you. So, I can't say either way... I'm sorry."

Really, Kanji. Your crush on Naoto is adorable.

[topgun_textiles]

"She's done it to other people, sendin' 'em home before bringin' 'em right back again. Wouldn't put it past her... but if I had fingers I'd cross 'em on the off-chance that she's left alone. S'bad enough that most of us are here as it is- I don't like how Calice seems to be collecting a full damn set."

...H-he's got no qualms shoving you in the pond, Senpai.

[timeloopingfool]

He'd drag you in too, somehow. Probably with magic. Neither of them needed to get soaked, right?

"Like you said, we're only missing Yosuke from the whole team." A small frown, "And we're all from different points in time..." And some version of him had destroyed all their trust. God, was this worse than them just ... not knowing who he was, he wondered?

"I'll keep them crossed too. She's got enough going on, to be dragged into this..."

[topgun_textiles]

He nodded. "...That's why, especially after everything that happened, I took it upon myself to focus even harder on watchin' out for the others. Naoto, Yukiko-senpai, Chie-senpai, Rise and Ted. Tough on their own, sure, but that don't mean I can't back 'em up."

"'Course, right now there's the Gala, and it seems like everybody's got plans. I'm glad everybody's gonna have a good time, or at least some time they feel's needed."

[timeloopingfool]

"...Heh."

A small chuckle, and he shook his head. He really had grown up over this past year, huh? It was amazing to see again, how this guy had gone from scared and lashing out to such a caring, compassionate man.

"You've really grown a lot, Kanji. I'm glad I can depend on you to look out for everyone."

He paused, an ear twitching slightly at his words.

"Gala? Some sort of party, I'm guessing?"

[topgun_textiles]

He canted his head vaguely this way and that. He may be looking out for everyone the best he can, but he didn't feel any different...

"Some fancy do, yeah. They do it every year. Apparently last year it was a disaster but nobody'll say why. So I'm keepin' on my toes! I can't let a date go sour, yeah?"

...

"A-a Gala! A Gala ain't gonna sour on me. I mean- god damn it-"

[timeloopingfool]

...Hmmm, a date, huh? And with him so worried about a double Naoto showing up...

"You finally asked Naoto out, huh?"

Oh Kanji, he's so happy for you he feels like his heart is gonna go boom. His dear kouhai, growing up so fast!

"I've got more reasons to be proud of you, then."

[topgun_textiles]

"...S-senpai." He puffed his cheeks, ears askew in different directions now.

"I'm gonna headbutt ya into the pond. I'm gonna headbutt so hard."

[timeloopingfool]

"Ahah!"

Awww, no, Souji backed up a few steps (and... lost his balance, ending up seated on his butt), laughing lightly at the threat, even if it was probably sincere.

"No, I'm sorry, Kanji! I just... I'm really happy for you both!" Opening his eyes, his chuckles dying down, he nodded, still a sincere smile on his face.

"You're good for her, I think-- better than most guys could be." Himself included.

[topgun_textiles]

"I-it ain't a contest or nothin'. We just decided to give it a try and have been goin' at it one step at a time." Ignoring the whole... stupidity about the chocolates thing.

"But... I'm happy. I'm really glad it wasn't as hard as I'd thought it'd be, 'fessin' up like I did."

[timeloopingfool]

"Well, it's easy to work yourself up over things you care about. Do't be too hard on yourself for being nervous."

He reached over, giving Kanji's... shoooulder? A pat with his hoof.

"I'm glad you're happy, though. Taking it one step at a time is the best way to handle it."

...He wouldn't think too much on his own romantic endeavor. That... also would be needed to be taken one step at a time, once he got back home.
