Wow — talk about lucky! Those are the kind Kamo-kun wanted, right?
( wow... wow!! right down to the specific breed of fish, incredible... amami will peek over at the goldfish guide, and then start glancing through the others too — did he luck into anything about seahorses here? amami'd love to find more on them; all he's gotten so far is that they're a "high level" and "difficult" fish meant for experienced aquarium keepers. he's hardly about to let that stop him, but he does want to be responsible about making sure he's doing it right when he does.
still, glancing up, his expression is bright and appreciative. )
Haha, I guess I should expect that from you though, huh?
Ahaha! Anything for you, Amami-kun... this useless talent is a constant letdown, but to see the surprise on your face... mayeb I can die happy now.
( literally, it's not a fleeting skip of his heart, it's a constant feeling that makes him happy for the moment while he lifts one hand to read his palm. there's no answer that'll tell him how to act or what to say, but being able to focus on a distraction helps him refrain from embarrassing himself anymore than he already has. his giggle is strained, but he manages to recompose himself after a minute or two of staring. )
...Ah, dying before you would be [ ... ] If you check three books down, you were interested in seahorses, weren't you? I found two on them, the first one talks about seahorses, pipefish, and all its other cousins. I'm sorry, my luck failed there if you wanted solely seahorses...
Yeah, I'd rather you didn't go dying on us yet. ( he's still trying to work on the friends thing here. )
Anyway, lets focus on the plan for now. I can't believe you were able to find this many books — even if you call it useless, I'm kind of envious of luck like that. Seems like all that ever comes my way is bad luck.
( ultimate unlucky student, he'd be lying if he tried to claim he hadn't considered that as his talent at least once or twice. amami's already pulling that one out specifically, flipping through the pages and illustrations absently as he checks to see if there's any pages that mention the kind he was interested in. )
It's a boring talent, and it's uncontrollable compared to you. Just because I found all these doesn't mean I want brutally suffer a consequence when I leave from the library.
( the library has always been his safe haven, a place where he can remain safe without having to watch his back. that's why he was able to find so many books because this place works in his favor, had they been anywhere else, and who knows what could have happened. he doesn't explain that properly, and so he decides to leave this up to amami's way of viewing such a miserable talent. )
Now, what were you interested in... Seahorses? It sounds like an exciting surprise, they are the steeds of the sea.
( brutal??? komaeda doesn't think amami's really just going to let him say that and then change the subject, does he? as much as he's interested in seahorses — and he does pause on a page about dwarf seahorses, a picture depicting one smaller than the size of someone's pinky — but stops there, setting the book down as he looks at komaeda. actually, let him sit up on this table here, crossing his legs and resting his weight against his hand, leaning just a little bit towards the other to indicate his interest. )
( there's no point in hiding, but there's no point in explaining either. his luck has been exploited by now, amami is aware of what it can do, but not the way it proceeds indepth. his eyes stare at the other for a moment, and he glances off to the side as he sits down. )
There's a consequence for everything Amami-kun, so you have to think smart. ...Hm, if you lose your memories, you have to write a book with what you know, so when they're all gone, you'll have it to reference to.
( he pats his hand on the book at the table, watching the other with his bad example because he didn't want to use anything else. )
( ominous, and vague, and it doesn't connect at all with the way komaeda continues the topic. it feels like... having the door shut in his face. forcing it won't help, but if he starts from the top, then maybe he can get another piece. )
I have a book like that, but I guess what you're talking about is more like... a memory diary? But what brought this up — I don't remember mentioning having any problems with my memory aside from my talent.
( ... the camera in amami's mind slowly pans to subaru.
he'll still hold out a hand though, looking expectant. )
If you were thinking this though, do you happen to have a notebook on you?
( give him a leftover christmas present or something. please set him up with a cute memory note. )
You asked about consequences.... And I gave you one! Memories are quite fragile, and they can be taken away at any moment so you have to guard them.
( though, this is more about the bad luck of losing them, and then the good luck of regaining them because of making a book. he was lucky to have someone before do such a thing that's led to the idea, isn't it lucky... that someone lost everything about him that manifests into a proper idea of those who need it.
...
komaeda laughs. )
Mmm, I actually like memeory books and diaries, you learn a lot about a person. Then you watch as that person learn a lot about themselves.
( he stares down to the hand held out, and komaeda blinks, looking back up to amami's question. this may be his lucky day too. )
I have one. ( hinata's, but that's because he's thinking of handing that over for his birthday. ) Amami-kun, you have to write in the book every day, if you don't... the concept of a memory notebook is lost upon you.
( with a pause, komaeda looks back to amami's hand before reaching out with his own and holding it.
Sorry, I'm not quite sure I get the correlation between the library and my memories. Are you saying there's a connection?
( he's not going to write it off entirely if it's komaeda that it's coming from, but he also... doesn't quite see it, himself. the grimace on his face says about as much, though it softens when komaeda takes his hand. amami looks down at their hands, then up at komaeda's eyes, and returns the same look of not quite getting it.
? )
Um, sure.
( he's just going to... slowly take his hand back. it's cute of komaeda, but anyway. )
I'll see if Kamo-kun has any spare notebooks, maybe. You don't mind reminding me every once in a while so I can get in the habit, do you?
( as amami's hand slips out from his own, komaeda allows his own hands to drop down. he did enough to walk away from the comment though he's still confused. he rubs hus fingers together to remember the warmth he had for a moment, there's no need for him to understand the consequences once komaeda leaves here. )
Ah, yes! You'll find the perfect notebook from them.
( why would he want a notebook from komaeda? why would an ultimate want anything from him?
he swallows down the saliva in his throat, eyes downcast at the books on the table. )
Now, now... you'll have it on you at all times. You won't need me to remind you, but... if you write about someone everyday, you'll be excited to do so.
