[...shit he messed that up, didn't he? Yeah. Yeah he totally...wow. Good going there, Kuzuryuu. It actually only took Tsumiki's loss of nerve for him to realize his mistake, but Nanami's speech really drove it home and he can't help but feel a little ashamed of himself as a result.]

Tch...I won't do it again, alright? I learned my lesson last time.

[Maybe it's just because he was yelling so loudly before, but his voice now almost seems TOO quiet. It was audible, sure, but only just. He turns his attention to Tsumiki, bowing in a way that is clearly apologetic. See, look. He can apologize like a normal person after all. And he can also get his volume back to a normal human level. Amazing.]

Sorry...I shouldn't have yelled. [Lord, Tsumiki, you know he is trying not to yell around you as much but sometimes you make that very difficult. By...you know, worrying about him. Because that's like the end of the fucking world when you're Kuzuryuu, apparently. Heaven forbid people worry about your well being.]

[Once he straightens back up, he shoves his hands in his pockets, pointedly avoiding making eye contact with Peko. He saw that look. He knows exactly what that look means and BOY IS HE NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT CONVERSATION. Maybe she'll forget while they're out getting cak-- who is he kidding. She is absolutely not going to forget.]

That's...a good idea though, yeah.

[Cake. Yes good. Not that he'll admit it but, yes good.]
