'I mean, I guess you could put it like that... but it's still kind of sad, isn't it?' he lamented, glancing over toward Grant and his new "friends" to see Himehana flailing her hands... had Grant caused that? 'I mean, really, imagine just a guy playing a two-person game by himself in his apartment, right? Heh... uh?'

...was she shaking? What on Earth... had he said something that upset her? Well... maybe he'd accidentally implied that him playing chess by himself was awful, and thus her stacking Jenga blocks was worse still? Shit, that wasn't a good start if so. Much as he didn't feel a need to especially impress anyone at his own rank, he also didn't want to burn his bridges in case they ranked up quickly. But, maybe it was unrelated, too... best to ask.

'Hey, Yu?' he asked quietly, snapping her out of her moment just as Grant began walking outside. She openly wondered if Grant was doing alright, apparently completely insensate to her own vibrations. Perplexing... and something to consider in the future.

'Yeah, he's fine. Looks like he's stepping out for a cigarette,' he observed, noting that Grant had asked the redcoat ghoul if he wanted to join him too. Not necessarily a smart move, if they began fighting and the First Class Investigator was caught off-guard. In the meantime, if redcoat accepted, Ms. Himehana would be on her own... oh, that'd be humorous. Probably not worth it, but humorous nonetheless. His ghoul side pushed him further into making up his mind, albeit for the wrong reasons in context.

'Did you notice how easily Himehana became flustered when chatting to Grant?' he asked his coffee mate with an air of conspiracy, pointing to the idol in question even as her partner accepted Grant's request and followed him outside. 'Let me ask you something: if even Grant can catch her attention, how do you think she'd respond to our respective charms?' Taking a bit of a swig from his drink now that it had begun cooling properly, he stood up, motioned for Yuno to follow him, and began to stroll casually, leisurely even, in the Flower Princess' direction. Indeed, this might be a chance to try and figure out what she saw in the ghoul, too. That wasn't a partner one took on the spur of the moment, after all. Unless it was, in which case...
