[ for the second time, Lupin thinks that the two of them have similar tastes... ]

Would you introduce us? I've seen her around many a time yet have never actually stopped to speak with her, embarrassing as that is! I must inform her of her great luck.

If you're going to be sappy and embarrassing like that, then no, I don't think I can.

I'm joking, though. Of course I'll introduce you two. Any time, really--we spend a lot of time together. [Obviously.]

[ wow... he'd expect that kind of response from Cairngorm, but not from sweet little Minato! Shiho is obviously a bad influence. ]

How cold of you! Then you shall never see me again, for being "like that" is my true nature.

But very good. It can be easy to forget what keeps us going when we've been trapped here for so long. You're lucky to have found a reminder yourself.

[Lupin's too embarrassing even for Minato to cope with.]

A reminder, huh..? You're not wrong. It's definitely put a lot of things into perspective for me.

I want to make the most of the time I have here, no matter how long or short it might be.

Now you're sounding more like a proper hero.

[ yeah he still remembers that minotaur thing ]

Though if you were to ask for my advice, I would tell you to take that attitude with you where-ever you go.

I'm still not really a hero... but I think that you're right about that. If we want to live life to the fullest, then we have to make the most of our time, even when things seem tough or grim or are tiresome.

That's something that a lot of people taught me back home. I definitely don't want to forget that here.

It sounds to me like you're being taken care of well by your companions at home; when we part I will not have to worry too much about you.

[ ha ]

So how is it that you expressed your feelings to Miss Shiho?

[Ha...

He told her that he's dead...]

A play-by-play, huh...? I don't know if that's totally gentlemanly.

But I just wanted to talk with her about the situation. Like... how we might not have a long time together with this situation and everything.

She said she wanted to stay by my side even with everything going on, so I told her how I felt.

A play-by-play! I do not need the gory details, my friend; simply enough to sate my curiosity. No chocolates, no flowers, no strolls in the moonlight? I suppose the plain and straightforward approach is what suits you.

She sounds like a good & loyal woman. We are all star-crossed meeting here, but it takes courage to face that reality head-on. Treat her well.

[Hard to do frilly stuff like that when he wasn't sure how she'd react to his confession of being dead, but... it's fine.

Minato's lips just twitch quietly, soft amusement that he keeps to himself.

Lupin is so genuine... it's sweet.]

Yeah... that's true. She's the one who gave me that courage, anyway. I owe her a lot.

We're all just trying to do the best with the circumstances we have, right? Even if it doesn't last forever, I'm really glad for every moment we've had here.

I'm glad we met too, Lupin.

[Maybe he's just feeling extra sentimental now.]
