[the sympathy, the appreciation -- they're both nice in their own way, since it isn't born from pity... not that subaru remembers much pity in the looks he and his mom got, even once things settled and they got to live where they had before it wasn't like anyone knew. anyone cared. and at school,

well. that's a different story for another time. subaru grins, propping his chin on arms.]

Yeah.

[for the compliment, for the understanding.]

Guess you kinda figured out just how much I took care of Mom, huh?

[his mom, his dog, himself. it's a little sheepish, like he hadn't meant to slip that much, but... not wary, not unease. it's fine, because it's amami -- amami, who doesn't poke and prod and pry like a couple others he could think of. it's like talking to trickstar, or nagisa.]

( whew, he passed the charisma check.

with that out of the way, it's a lot easier for him to relax into a natural pattern, continuing on with an absent, open-palmed gesture as he speaks. )

Something like that. I just thought it sounded like you were a good son — really loved her, y'know.

( which is... nice. amami didn't really have that, himself, a feeling of someone relying on him. at least, he doesn't feel like he did. realistically he knows—

...

that's beside the point, and he dismisses the thoughts as quickly as they come. )

I guess it makes sense now why you stepped up the way you did.

[keep running from your thoughts and they'll be brought up again]

Ahaha~. I guess. I just don't like seeing people cry, honestly... So I just try to do what I can to make them smile instead.

[especially if they have sparkling smiles.

...

now he's feeling a little embarrassed about being so open. he's gonna stretch out and sit up so he can kick his feet!!!]

Ama-chan's really good at putting smiles on people's faces too~. And you're super reliable yourself, you're one of the best when it comes to having someone's back. ♪ That handsome gaze of yours seals the deal! Anyone'd feel better looking at you~.

C'mon, I'm not that great. ( god, he wishes he was — it seems like all he really does is upset people when push comes to shove. )

When it comes to making people happy, I think you've got me beat, but thanks. I'd like to think you can at least count on me to have your back.

( it's not the same, he knows — taking care of someone, looking after them, that's different from the kind of thing he's able to offer. he's more of a stupid idea manager, relaly. he can help keep you alive, mostly by risking himself, but it's fine. don't worry about it. )

Always! And don't sell yourself short, Ama-chan. I promise, you make more people happy than you think.

[even if it's just for little reasons, like talking to them or walking them to class, hanging out during lunch or take the time to help out with this and that -- small reasons that make people smile, all important.]
