[Turns his head about for a bit trying to figure out which direction to go first.]
Ah, you think so! Someday I'll be big enough to fly and carry Jozu or my Pops! I knew it, yoi.
[Annnnnd he's gonna skip that part about who told him. Because it's his job to keep Shirahoshi safe, and whatever, it doesn't matter? Or it does... And it's sad, but it's 30 years in the future, and missing those thirty years of fun with his Pops is really the part that saddens him most. On the flipside, it means he'll meet up with Papa soon, so it's okay.]
It is very nice to meet you too Kotomi-chan. We can be friends if you like! I love reading! Do you read all gen-res too? [Genres is a hard word and he is working his cute angle on all the girls... mostly because he can.] I made another friend here who has lots of books! Or... borrows lots. She has some very interesting ones though and I borrowed a few! [That are way out of his league, but he's working on it.]
Oh! Do you read books too Phoen--
[LONG PAUSE, EYES WIDEN. Exaggerated le gasp!!] Are you really a phoenix too?! Like me?!
[He heard it, it half sunk in before, but the implications, did not. And then he puts his hands over his mouth.] Oh, but that's a secret. Sort of. Shhhh.... [Less so in Luceti since he has no idea who knows or not and already assumed when Ikki introduced himself earlier that Ikki and Kotomi were definitely in on the human-phoenix thing.]
