( it's not difficult to hear the way her voice sours, vinegar seeping into an otherwise sweet tone, even for someone as emotionally inept as him. he can only surmise that he's stepped into the middle of some sort of lover's quarrel. even so, it's nothing worse than any of the heated arguments he's witnessed on the court floor, and he makes note of the description she provides, tucking all those words away to memory. )

Noted. If I see anyone matching the provided description, I will be sure to let you know.

( after asking their name, of course. tall with long black hair are common enough descriptors, after all, and he himself has met a few people matching that same description already.

as for her other offer.....he's caught off-guard, eyes widening briefly, a small exhale of surprise filling the air between them. )

Ah, I would not wish to impose. You must have many other things to worry about. ( such as this takumi of hers. ) But I would be more than happy spend time with you whenever you would like.

( that much he can do, he thinks. )
