[For once, it's not just Minako's rose colored view of anything or anyone to do with romance. Chikusa doesn't do much thinking on it himself because, frankly, he hardly knows how to do that kind of self introspection let alone trying to think on how other people view him... But the few people he puts down as being truly important do get all of his attention. It's apparently a bad habit, one that's put himself into some trouble like with his dedication to his first god, Axel... But it's not one he can get rid of so easily.]

[If he doesn't go all the way for what little matters, then what's the point of him?]

[....He's working on it.]

[Just not right now, when her words have her blink in confusion. It's the first time someone's been so upfront about how they appreciate him- but then again, he guesses that's just how Minako is.]

....Well, you're the one doing most of the work in this whole date thing. [Chikusa is just doing organizational work. Which suits him just fine, don't get him wrong.] Anyway... If you need help figuring it out, let me know.

[A small huff.]

Some kid already wants me to teach him how to cook anyway...
