Only you think that.

[but he'll wait, and have a drink with him. nothing that he's brought is immediate - the place already looks a world better from when he started.]

What, no cup for your friend?

[aren't tanukis supposed to be ok with alcohol?]

[crudest]

He's a mess when he's drunk - can't decide what size he wants to be.

[That's not true, of course, but it sounds like it could be. Plus the mental image is funny. Baren pours them both sake and hands one out to Nika.]

You ever think I'm the only one that thinks that because I'm the only one you show?

[despirit]

Because you're the only one who deserves to see it.

[because you're the only one who won't call it weird. he takes the sake, and waits for Baren to have his own in hand before he'll take a sip. it's good, the alcohol warming him.]

Besides, it hasn't even been green again for a while, it'll stop being special if I show everyone on the street.

[crudest]

I've seen it a dozen times by now. I wouldn't say it stops being special.

[ - and maybe it is because Baren's one of the few who gets to see it, who knows he's trusted with it.

... but it wouldn't be bad, you know? If Nikkari trusted some more people like that. If he was told by more people that he's beautiful.]

[despirit]

[he's quiet for a second, sipping his sake, and then says what's on his mind.]

...what if they stare, though?

[it sounds childish, but he's serious.]

[crudest]

I stare.

[ - in the way that Baren stares, letting his gaze linger just a little too long at times. But he waves a hand.]

It's probably just because you're gorgeous.

[Like from an objective standpoint.]

People tend to become preoccupied with the things that they find striking.
