[ He laughs, low and amused. ]

No. I'm not like Ho-oh but I'm still not big on bein' all touchy feely.

[idologue]

Of course. I certainly have no plans of breaking your boundaries in that regard.

[ If he'd decided to pose this as another test, Lacus would have offered her hand despite the nervous pounding in her heart. But not having to take this test of courage right now is just as well. ]

[ Mr. Pink, flapping his little ears: ] I'll do my best!

[handsheld]

[ Even holding hands with Shigaraki is cursed. ]

If you decide to break something and don't tell me first, it'll hurt my feelings.

[idologue]

My, that would be quite the unfortunate outcome.

[ Slightly tongue in cheek, complete with the shocked hand on her cheek. ]

[handsheld]

[ He lets out a breath that's not as amused as his laughter before, but it's still clear enough. ]

Sure would be. Anyway, I can't stay and chat too long. Got anythin' else you wanna ask?

[idologue]

Ah. Too bad, but I understand.

[ Though that means she can go to bed and maybe not be conspicuously tired tomorrow... ]

Then one question: which game in the Arcade should I try getting decent at?

[handsheld]

[ A grin. ]

That depends. Is this to play against me or to beat everyone else?

[idologue]

To play with you. Which I suppose means against you. I'd certainly not want to give you a lackluster performance, so practice is required.

[ He doesn't seem like the type who thinks it's fun watching someone else learn to play a game he's good at. ]

Everyone else can gladly see my weak side.

All the really competitive stuff isn't on these islands. Working with what we have... Mario Kart. It's easy 'nough to pick up but there's more skill to it than you'd think.

[idologue]

Then I shall set out to become a worthy Mario Kart opponent.

[ No time like the present to learn a random new useless skill! They do have a lot of time, after all. ]

And thank you for coming. It really was a pleasure to get to know you better.

[handsheld]

Yeah, Yeah. You'll be seeing me again soon 'nough.

Later Lacus. [ He grabs one of the cookies on the way out and then jumps back on top of the t-rex into the shadows. ]
