[This is a mingle but there is a comment in a Chain Chat to the whole train!]

Rean: A while ago some of us were discussing a festival where every team puts on a production, game, booth, whatever, maybe based around team bonds or interests.

What do people think? Maybe it's a good time to to talk about it again?

[Feel free to discuss with each other! Or just mingle as usual.]

It's not like I think I'm hideous. You don't have to lay it on.

I've never once assumed you think you're hideous. I just think you're under the incredibly misguided impression you're nothing special.

[Hm. He'd rather be talking about Towa's ass.]

It's enough that you think I am.

I know you are. And just because you aren't as obnoxious about avoiding compliments as some people are--

[ He likes 80H, but seriously. ]

--doesn't mean you couldn't stand to hear them once in a while. Especially since...

[ He presses a hand against his own chest. ]

...you can't avoid that I mean them.

I know you do.

[That's what makes it so hard.]

[ Crow considers Rean for a moment and the next thing he says is in their heads, only for the two of them. ]

Does it really bother you that much?

[He shakes his head.]

No. Not really. It's just...

[Hm what is it just?]

I really am glad you think so, even if I don't quite see it myself.

You know, I'm tempted to see if I can show you how I see you... but I'm not even sure that'd help either.

[ Crow sighs. ]

I'll leave it alone for now. But you know I'm a pretty stubborn guy so don't think I'm giving up on you.

I'm not even sure you know what giving up means.

Even if I did, why would I bother when the prize is worth it?

[ He winks at Rean and leaves a vague suggestion of lewd thoughts being withheld for emphasis. ]

[Great now Rean's blushing.]

Crow!

I can't help it! I love the way you look when you're blushing!

[ Local bird doesn't know the meaning of the word "shame." ]

You're shameless....

[But he doesn't hate it at all.]

That's part of what makes me so attractive.

[ There's a feeling Crow still hasn't put to words and isn't now either, one that flickers warmly through the bond even as he continues to grin shamelessly at Rean. The feeling is "I love you." ]
