[His complain is weak and he seems embarrassed by how she had to say that. It's not his fault, okay? So he has never had friends to make "pinky promises" with even when he was a kid, not even to his brother because those promises were childish and Ikki stopped being a child when Shun was born. Or so he tells himself at least, he had to be mature and old for both of them. And he has always thought, has always known, that promises are hard to keep, if not impossible. And that making them is pointless and stupid and, why is he bothering with this again?
Because it's Selphie. And somehow that makes everything make sense.
His smug smirk stays in place in front of her sticked out tongue, looking pretty confident and amused.]
Hn, you better be ready for a penalty if you fail, as well, little miss.
[His eyes glance around the deck for a moment before looking back at her. "If you want to take the guitar away with you", is that just an offer for him to keep the guitar to practice? Or a cue for an excuse to go to his room? Or maybe she just wants the guitar back if he's done for the moment... She has been responsive up until now, though so... Maybe... Maybe it's really a cue after all?]
Sounds good, I want to practice some more, or I'll forget quite quickly. But it's probably better if I do so in my room, so I don't break anyone's eardrums in the process. What do you think, am I good enough to practice without a teacher or is it better if you're with me some more so that I don't forget?
