( excitable is certainly not wrong, judging by the way her eyes light up and shine as ranger elaborates. )
That's great, Ranger! I'm so happy for you.
( a little bit jealous too, maybe—to think that ranger would come so far before she even managed to get hiyori's attention. but overall, it's good news. happy news, and she means what she says, though she can't help but be curious for more. )
[ There was more to it, but that's the statement which stands out in his mind most. Ranger doesn't always understand the relationship that his partner has with his luck, but he thinks that it is a kind of power and an assurance all at once - so long as he waits long enough, good luck will follow any misfortune that he suffers to. Then if he (or at least his actions) could be considered a form of good luck, then that must be a good thing right? If he was able to make him happy like that.
He muddles over that as he takes a sip of his tea. It's always odd to share with someone in this way when he so rarely indulges. ]
I dunno if he got the message though... Hmm, maybe I should have kissed him? You think that would've been more obvious?
( even just the very beginning is enough for her eyes to light up, fingers pressing together as she clasps her hands happily. oh, that's great news. there's simply no way that the fortune of ranger's confession could have been missed, right? not in the way it's been framed at least, so maple's excitement continues to bubble over into her words, nodding along with them as she speaks. )
White day is coming up, you know, so there's no reason you can't do it then.
( she's rooting for you, ranger! do your best out there! )
Heehee, I'm so happy for you. It looks like both of us are making good progress, don't you think?
( and... she looks like she has more she wants to say, but manages to keep it locked up behind her smile for the moment. like a dam ready to burst, it's written all over her face: oh, she hopes that he asks her too. )
[ Ranger is almost the exact opposite of Maple, who wears her heart on her sleeve, as he retains Gashu's stoic nature even now. But there's a hint of consideration to those mumbled words, and he does bring curled fingers up to his chin just briefly. White Day is meant to be a response to Valentine's Day. The recipient of the initial gift is meant to give something of higher value in return - there's marshmallows and chocolates, countless options for what it might be, and to not do so is to spurn a person's affections.
His ego isn't so big that he would expect anything, and he finds that compensating for it by forcing a kiss on someone is far too bold. But it doesn't hurt to keep the date in mind when it promises him a more concrete answer. For now, he focuses on the look that she has. If he had to guess, she's waiting for the right moment to share whatever might have happened to put her in such a good mood.
He doubts it was progress, given the way that Hiyori is, but there's no need to say that when he can indulge her. He's a little curious. ]
Hm? You too? Something happen with you and Hiyori?

Did he like them? What did he say?
