[ And wouldn't you know Nee is just the most enthusiastic little thing, waving and chattering in Ginko's direction in response to that acknowledgment. He does quiet down as Ginko and Yukio speak, a questioning nee chirped as he and Shiemi look between the two. ]

M-maybe the two of you are being a bit modest?

[ She suggests, wondering between the pair with an almost sheepish smile on her face. ]

[Really, it's not a matter of being polite - he likes Shiemi already, he's happy to meet her (again) and to see her familiar in person.

He also firmly believes that there's no comparing Yukio's contributions to his own, even if he might be biased because Yukio kept him from dying of a horrible stone virus.

Well, no point to pushing it and making Shiemi uncomfortable.] Ah, maybe. [He smiles briefly, glancing at Yukio.] Hope he didn't get your expectations up too much, but I am flattered, honestly.

[reflash]

[He had said "we're close", which is more than Yukio ever says about anyone, and it slipped out without thinking, and Shiemi heard it. There's a level of awkwardness here, just a bit, just the kind that keeps that flush on Yukio's cheeks.]

I doubt I could do that. [It's impossible to set expectations too high when it comes to Ginko.

Wait, that was too much. A rapid flicker of tongue, and he does take a step back, to let Shiemi and Ginko talk.]
