Takeshi chuckled in a good-natured manner, making sure to smile and look the girl in the eye as he helped her up. (Maetakeshi's Flirting Tips: Smiling shows various things and is generally a good idea.)(Maetakeshi's Flirting Tips: Eye-contact shows self-confidence and an interest in the other person.) "It's fine, don't worry about it. I can speak English just fine if it's the language you would prefer." 

Even after she had let go of his hand to reach for the coffee cups, Takeshi maintained a relatively close distance from the girl. (Maetakeshi Flirting Tips: Being close creates an atmosphere of intimacy and we-ness.) The young man took his mugs of coffee into his grasp when the girl across him held them out, making sure his their fingers touched when he did so. (Maetakeshi's Flirting Tips: Make physical contact when given the chance if appropriate.) "I didn't get very much sleep last night, so extra coffee is a must." He chuckled again. "And you pronounced it just fine, there's no need to worry." (Maetakeshi Flirting Tips: Compliment when appropriate.)

Whenever the girl apologized, Takeshi made an effort to reassure her it was all fine and that she had nothing to apologize over. "And yes," he began his reply to her up-to-that-point final comment. "I am Maetaka, Takeshi Maetaka, but you may call me anything you would prefer. A last-name basis just seems so distant, doesn't it?" He smiled in a kind sort of way. "What may I call a cute girl such as yourself?"
