[hello????? WHO ARE YOU SIR WHY ARE YOU INVADING HIS PERSONAL SPACE hikari leans back discreetly, trying to maintain a polite expression.]
... Pardon?
... Pardon?
[a beat]
Um... yes, I'm aware. You simply caught me off-guard, I'm afraid.

That is true. It would perhaps be better to form them sooner or later.
[hikari blinks once, and then twice, slowly.
after a few moments, in a polite but confused tone—]
I beg your pardon, but... have we spoken before...?

[unfortunately this just gives rang joy, he does the thing. u know when someone whacks u on the arm all playful like. that's the vibe.]
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?

[WHAT'S THE THING YAYWON?]
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.

[THAT'S THE THING]
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?

[rang please
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...?

[why are you like this]
... I don't think that's something one needs to practice.

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.

I wouldn't really consider myself as such...
[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.

Everyone else already has a strong opinion though?
[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?]
