[Beauty should also maybe consider that a.) not everyone is like him and b.) that shouldn't be present-tense because he hasn't spoken to that boy since he ascended. Ah well.]
Complicated in what way? Something besides the lies?
In my old life it was my duty to spend several hours entertaining guests. But you can learn quite a bit about people from what they do and don't say. I like hearing about people.
I think that.... that's not something I'm ready to do. There are people that I like. And... I guess, at times, the dumb rabbit is one of them, even if he's suuuuuper annoying.
[ he will never be unable to insult him. ]
But I can't really make the type of connection that you want me to.
[It's hard to see, but the slight shift in posture seems to suggest the figure smiles.]
At least you can acknowledge that. I would say that there's progress. You don't have to be able to right away, or ever. In some cases you may never be ready outside of a handful of people.
Thank you. I'll see you another time? [He might not, depending, but Takaomi's actually interesting to talk to even if they spent 90% of this conversation going on about Senri.]

But a connection is still a connection.

the most impressive thing is how quickly he vomited feelings at merriment, really. ]

[ unfortunately, taka is too married to revisiting the gods so he might and it'll just be
a horribly awkward conversation. ]
