Hm~

[ Lots of things, but they're questions and requests that he wants to be taken seriously, and now's not the time to bring them up. There'll probably never be a good time, and as much as he's put them off already, they can stand to wait longer still. ]

Nothing for now! I'll take an "IOU" okay? One request at a time, I won't ask for anything else until you've completed the previous request, something like that~

[ Something like little missions he can ask her to partake in, without being part of the gang, small tasks like that. He also collects IOUs and they're great things to have when the other person feels personal responsibility. ]

[Nana blinks once at that, and then she scratches idly behind the back of her head. Not off the bat? She doesn't mind that. She laughs a bit, eyes on the ground.]

...Sure, I can do that. Just text me whenever you want, okay?

[Really, with Nana, she doesn't need a reason to say yes. She wants to be helpful. But the fun of this little arrangement is a nice excuse.

Nana still doesn't know, really, about the gang.]

Hey, Kano-kun... I know I said you should do a nice shirt, slacks, jacket, and a polka dot tie. Do you want to pick the place?

It seems fair. I did call you a bee you-know-what.

[ The IOU is either going to be him texting her for banana bread the next morning or him screaming his head off to be saved seconds before being murdered by a murderous bloodthirsty giraffe daemon, there's no in-between on what he can ask for. ]

Aw, texting's fine but you won't say it out loud? Haha~

[ He teases about that to stall about the place— it's already been a week since Nana first brought it up, and he hasn't done much thinking about what places would be good to go together. He was sort of hoping she'd let the whole thing drop, or choose something else, but he does owe her for being a jerk... ]

Hm... I know you said something about cooking, but how 'bout we just go to a restaurant? Let other people make you happy for a change?

I-I can’t say that out loud! I shouldn’t have typed it at all!

[She looks genuinely flustered at the very thought. Indeed, she’s blushing a little.

It’s merciful that he throws an idea out. She looks up, blinking in surprise and then she smiles. That smile says it all. This idea is a winner for Nana. Get dressed up, go to a restaurant... she looks happy just thinking about it.]

That sounds great! We could go to Venice! There’s nice places there. And boats!

[ Seven whole times, and he's already started spreading it throughout the dorm. Soon, everybody will know of Nana's potty mouth. ]

A meal on the waterfront, huh? Haha, how fancy~ I've never been to Venice, so let's do it~!

[ It sounds expensive... It's a really good thing he has money saved up (thanks Yuya, thanks Toki) because he can really only trick vendors when he's paying in """cash""" and something like this sounds like a credit card level expenses. ]

[She will either laugh or demand further fanciness. Or both. Maybe both.]

Mm-hm! We can get a boat ride, too! Through the canals. I’ve only been there once, but it was really pretty.

When do you want to go? My weekend is pretty open...

Hm~ My weekends are always open, so we can go whenever~

[ He rarely has solid plans for his days, going to class whenever he feels like it, taking naps in between this and that to fill in the hours, so it really is whenever. ]

You decide and let me know! You're supposed to be the boss, making the demands!

I guess I'm bad at being in charge... Is tomorrow too soon? [She doesn't need that much preparation. She has to get a couple things, but she has an outfit.

She just needs something specific for it. And maybe to get some cash -- she doesn't want to ask him to pay for everything.

...and she needs some better anti-nausea medication for the trip over.]

[ She really is bad at being in charge, because the first thing she does is ask him his availability instead of demanding his time. ]

Like I said, I'm free, so we can go whenever~

[ No preparations needed at all from him, because in a blink of an eye, his outfit changes to a black suit and pants, white button-up shirt and polka dot tie. It'll be like this... Of course he's still wearing his usual comfort blanket of a jacket, it just won't look like he's wearing it, and Nana should have no complaints. ]

[There's a reason she said he's in charge of the drama club. Because she just doesn't like to tell people what to do. Even when she does the work.

She beams, though -- and applauds with delight. She's fine with an illusion. There's a flicker of a thought -- how often is he using illusions on himself? -- but it's dismissed.]

That looks--you look really good, Kano-kun!

[She's blushing, in fact. And breaks eye contact. She's a little more flustered than she cares to admit. Nana actually rambles a little to try to distract herself.] So... tomorrow afternoon, about two. I'll get them to get us a ride to Venice.

[ They're going to have to find a new leader for the drama club bc idk if anybody else will let Kano make decisions after the Bee Movie Play.

He'd done it to show off, but being clapped for and praised makes him self-conscious, and then she blushes and turns away and it's even worse, and he lets the illusion fall back to his old clothing again so that neither of them have to stand there and be embarrassed any longer than necessary. ]

Tomorrow afternoon at two. So you can make decisions after all~ Alright! Then, I'll see you tomorrow!

Aw. [Nana's a little disappointed.

Except he'll be wearing that all day tomorrow and that's... gonna be... great, but embarrassing, all at once. She laughs, and her eyes are back on him after a moment.]

I can make decisions! I'll see you then.

[A beat:] Can I have my doorknob back?

Nope!

[ GOODBYE, he just laughs and turns around and walks down the hall back to his room. ]

[Nana frowns.

Then she walks over, gets some paper, and writes a note. She tapes it over the doorknob hole:

Minako:
This is Kano's fault.
