[ once prompted, sein doesn't hesitate to take a seat. somehow, just that change in position helps alleviate some of the stiffness that'd been creeping into the set of his shoulders, making him seem more like a cardboard cut-out (🧍♂️) than an actual person. with tomura taking the reins back, sein is afforded a small moment to recollect himself. shoulders relaxing, lips parting on a small breath. strangely, it isn't nerves or reservation that has him feeling an odd mix of stiff and jittery — rather, it's the entire concept of streaming in general. after all, he had only just begun to stomach the idea of cameras.
but when tomura turns back to address him directly, pivoting on that wheeled chair so that they are more or less facing each other, it becomes much easier for sein to forget about how overwhelming all the technology is making him, and instead focus on the only other person in the room besides him. he's convinced talking to a living, breathing person will always be his preference.
and so he is able to smile — something mild but easy and genuine. there is a crookedness to it that grants it a boyish appearance, though in the right angle it looks like a perfectly charming smirk. ]
Just that I'm glad to be here. I'll make sure to do my best.
[ had sein actually looked at the screen, he might have noticed that the director did, in fact, offer up suggestions for responses. absolutely none of them even got near to "be an earnest dud like you are talking to someone's parents about to take them out for their first ever evening date" so.... alas.
