Friends. It wasnât often that someone would ask that of him; usually others just asked him to solve cases for them, so the raven-haired detective was admittedly a little surprised by the request. The young boy seemed rather determined, as well.
He didnât have any problem with making friends, though in his case, they usually didnât just come up asking to be buds. He tilted his head curiously at the boy.
âFriends, hmm? I see. So you want to be friends with the famous detectiveâŠâ Ranpo chuckled, an amused smile forming on his face. âTo be friends with a great detective like myself, you gotta meet some standards first.â
â Yes! âÂ
Itâs spoken in obvious determination, though strangely more like a reply to a command than any sincerity in friendship. A goal to be accomplished, perhaps. His gaze is leveled and intense, straight at the man before him with no indication of the insecurities an ex-shut-in was sure to regularly feel. An oddity, then. But really, thatâs nothing to be surprised about.Â
Without skipping a beat, Nanashiâs voice drops into a determined rhythm of someone on a mission.Â
â Iâm worthless at pretty much everything unless your standards include speed running dating sims! But Iâll do anything! âÂ
Despite the heavy words directed at himself, his voice lilts in an upbeat manner - in fact, he moves swiftly through the sentence without dwelling on a single word. There isnât a single bit about him that hints he recognizes the fact his mannerisms are strange; he only continues to gaze solidly in this manâs direction.
