No, it was just... um. [how to politely say "those were just really weird questions to ask someone you just met off the bat] There are possible "candidates", but as it is an important decision, I would not ask anyone to rush into selecting me as a teammate.
[how can a person sound both approving and condescending, hikari is out here doing mind gymnastics to try and sound polite when rang doesn't deserve it,]
Fair enough. What's the point of selling yourself if you don't know the other person is worth selling to?
Not wanting to be rude is a separate matter from being unable to say what one needs to, when it matters.
But I can be discourteous, if you so desire. However, I don't think you to be unworthy, as so much that I believe you're deliberately testing others' patience.

Um... yes, I'm aware. You simply caught me off-guard, I'm afraid.

after a few moments, in a polite but confused tone—]
I beg your pardon, but... have we spoken before...?
no subject
Nope.
[:3c]
no subject
hikari stands there awkwardly not sure what to make of this]
no subject
Is it really that serious? [no the issue here is that it is Weird] Or are you the type who needs to get to know someone first?
no subject
No, it was just... um. [how to politely say "those were just really weird questions to ask someone you just met off the bat] There are possible "candidates", but as it is an important decision, I would not ask anyone to rush into selecting me as a teammate.

So you have been thinking about it.
[how can a person sound both approving and condescending, hikari is out here doing mind gymnastics to try and sound polite when rang doesn't deserve it,]
Fair enough. What's the point of selling yourself if you don't know the other person is worth selling to?
no subject
hikari pauses because that is not how he'd put it. that just sounds like a mean way of putting it!!!]
Well, I haven't met anyone here who I think would be unworthy as a teammate...?
no subject
Not even me?
[:) be mean to him. BE MEAN!!!!]
no subject
STOP TRYING HIM]

You'll need to reject someone sooner or later. Shouldn't you start practicing?
no subject
... I don't think that's something one needs to practice.
no subject
Sure it is, if you're worried about letting people down gently. Isn't kindness your thing? Virtue?
no subject
But I can be discourteous, if you so desire. However, I don't think you to be unworthy, as so much that I believe you're deliberately testing others' patience.
no subject
[and for being human(?) but that's not hikari's fault.]
You can be discourteous all you like. It's easier for me if humans say what they want.
no subject
[though probably on the more stoic side, sure.]
In any case, what I said still stands. We have only just met, so there's little reason for me to have a strong opinion on you.
no subject
[said in a tone of 'hikari you're so strange' and then he flashes him a too quick smile]
But if time is all you need, then it's a good thing we've got four more days left. Or three, after this one.
[IS IT?]
no subject
blinks slowly like is rang saying he's going to keep bothering hikari for 3-4 days straight now?]
no subject
rang smiles like he knows hikari is trying to process this,]
Exciting, huh?
[no]
no subject
... I suppose that unless something occurs within the next few days, there is little else to do with the remaining time we have.
no subject
[hikari is just being nice]
Anyway, think of it this way. You'll be gathering information on someone who'll probably become your enemy.
no subject
Do you intend on becoming my enemy?
