Yes. You've been working very hard, Junpei-san. [He just smiles at the man again?] Sometimes, it's good to take a break so you can begin again.
I've been learning that, too. I wish I was as carefree as elder brother... He's always laughing and enjoying himself. I'm trying to be more like him by relaxing.
[...] I'll think about it. We've got a lot to do still.
[But he listens to what Hiza says about Hige, tilting his head quietly.] Higekiri does seem like someone who's able to enjoy himself, but he's still learning, too. I think as long as you're around people you're comfortable with...I dunno. Maybe it's easier to be like that.
Elder brother is like that with everyone. He's really amazing that way.
[He glances down. It doesn't look like he's upset at all really; his face is... longing, or dreamy. A little self-deprecating.]
I'll get better, and I'll be that amazing, too. But you should still relax sometimes, Junpei-san. If you need someone to sit in the baths with you, I'll do it.
For what it's worth, you're already amazing in your own way. And I think your brother knows that. [Why does he keep giving pep talks, god.] You have time to grow...it'll be fine.
[...but. Hah.] I appreciate the offer, but...I have someone I have to go see and some stuff to do. [...but oh.] Listen to my voice later. I've got something in the works for everyone.
The crest of both cheeks color gently, and he lowers his eyes almost bashfully. He can't help the very faint smile that twitches the corners of his mouth.]
Thank you, Junpei-san. [He looks up again.] A surprise? Okay. I'll listen for you.
I'll come see you. [He doesn't understand there is anything wrong with this? Clearly, Junpei just wants to see him about the surprise.] I'm not sure...
I may return to my room to see if elder brother is there. I haven't seen him in a while, [read: an hour maybe] and I would like to take him to the store with the clothing.

Probably not a bad plan. Make sure he didn't wander too far or anything. Let me know if you find anything interesting okay?
no subject
I will see you later tonight.

Likewise. See you tonight. [Ganba, puppy sword.]
