I don't think you've experienced the true majesty of a prime nap location, White-kun. Nothing can compare! Let me show you...!!
[and he'll SLAM HIS HAND ON THE PANEL!!!!
it
it brings them to a beautiful hill in a park? there are a few other people around, scattered, but they're more toward the bottom of the hill - just far enough to be background noise. at their feet there's a picnic blanket that's large enough for two. right behind them is the trunk of a tree and up, up, up, and over the branches spill out to provide shade and the gentle fall of cherry blossoms. no, i'm not doing this just to fuck with you there's a reason. but the little splashes of pink litter around the area. it's a warm day with the slightest breeze.
well, here's the thing. in some ways, for all of his 100+ years, white has lived a sheltered life. for most of his childhood, he saw little of the light—even before he was permanently deprived of it by becoming a deman.
and the demans, despite their arrogance, missed the sun so much that they created a false sky just to experience it again. it took lessa's gift of his one day under true daylight for white to realize even that wasn't comparable.
even so, artificial or not, here he's recreated some of the scenery he never got to experience in life, but remained bound by the limits of his own knowledge and imagination. seeing this is... actually kind of overwhelming—a reminder of the world that he was never able to live in—and it's making him a bit emotional.
and, well, white is terrible at hiding his emotions! as he just. kind of stares at everything.]
. . . but the stunned reaction manages to get mineo to pause, and tilt his head in confusion. he takes his hand off the panel and just sort of - waves one hand in front of white's face as he tilts his head in concern.]
[he gives a start, before he sits down on the blanket with maybe more force than needed. everything's great! he's chill. he's cool. he is not getting emotional over this.]
he doesn't really believe that? he'll just go to kneel on the blanket besides white and just. clap two hands on his shoulders and gently shake him a little?]
[if it's half-hearted then mineo's is full hearted as he ruffles white's hair for a second before actually plopping down next to him]
Every Spring! It's my favorite season.
The trees don't always look like this - just during a a short period of the year. I used to go out with the guys in Field Ops and we'd have a drink! But it's really pretty, right?
[they're pretty and mineo knows this as a FACT what other word would you use for them]
So you've never seen cherry blossoms before.... I guess that makes sense.
[for his reaction?]
Then yeah! This is the type of view I wanna have when I nap! Like you can just kick back, relax... It'd be even nicer if you could put your head in someone's lap. That'd really be the dream!
[he's just thinking out loud like a fucking loser]

he is also not comfortable enough in his masculinity to admit they're pretty? so he just shrugs.]
... Well, they don't have trees like this on Hexagon Island, at least.
[now i'm paranoid that i'm suddenly going to see one while canon reviewing bUT I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE ANY]

[sounds like mineo wants to bring a girl here??]

What do you mean? I'm cool with it being you. Especially if you haven't gotten to see this type of thing before...
It's even more important then.

Just shut up and take your nap.
