... A little surprised you don't have anything better to do right now, to be honest.
[when mineo hunted him down for the lecture, white can't say this is how he expected the conversation to turn out. then again, considering the kind of person mineo is (and why, as white's unfortunately reminded, he developed dokis in the first place), maybe he should've.]
... trying to find who cursed Aoi-san and Shi-san. If that person did it to protect Law-san, that means Ashiya-san might've killed Omi-san. If they didn't.... they really might've been Omi-san's killer.
Or just a chaotic asshole.
Just wanna know what we're still dealing with, I guess.
[he doesn't make a move to break free from mineo's grasp, but he does turn to glare at him, already looking flustered even though mineo hasn't? said anything?]
[his expression just - softens into something gently amused at that]
... I won't say anything if you really think it'll make things harder for you. I don't want to do that. [now that he knows how white feels - and he's still working through his own response]
... but I don't want things to change so much that I hold anything back either.

You can stay. I guess.

... we don't have to talk if you don't want to.
But if there's anything you want another person to hear, I'll be listening.

dw my notif
.... had to go check on something else first, for the investigation. Ran into a dead end.
[because mineo does tend to focus on work first - even if he was mad at white, he had to follow a lead.
but.]
But what's wrong with letting you have all my attention when we're together?
no subject
What was the lead?

no subject
But I have to try.
[he's too stubborn for his own good]
no subject
Yeah, I know.
Doubt I'll hear anything, but if I do, I'll let you know.
no subject
Give yourself more credit.
I think you help a lot more than you realize.
no subject
no subject
... So like, a whole lot more than you realize.
You know that you probably have the best relationship with some Avatars out of all of us, right? So whatever hints they give you are really useful?
no subject
[he just messages them going "i'm here, be graced with my presence"???]
no subject
[and he tilts his head]
And I think... combining that wanting to help and what you can do to talk to people is a lot more powerful than you realize.
no subject
Think you just described yourself.
[1/2]
Uh. Sort of, but I have police training.
[MINEO ACTUALLY THINKS HE'S PRETTY GOOD AT HIS JOB AND DECENT AT TRIALS]
no subject
But you seem to doubt how much you do to help... and I think that's wrong.
no subject
well, now he's just going to shove mineo.]
Okay, that's enough with the pep talk.
[this is getting embarrassingly nice and white doesn't know how to handle it]
no subject
Did it work?
no subject
Shut up.
no subject
... hey, I didn't confess anything back to you yet, did I?
no subject
Well, would you look at the time, I should go beat up Endorsi now or something—!
no subject
Come on, you think you'll hate it that much?!
no subject
It's you, so yeah!
