[ he hadn't seen that yet, and that's actually really nice to hear. he'd kind of worried at first that maybe that had been a mistake, that maybe he would have been safer if he had stayed at the armory... though at least figuring out the culprit had helped assuage that concern, since he couldn't imagine that sidon would have tried to seriously hurt shouxue even if she was the attacker. ]
[ he'll help pet down the disheveled strands after he messed it up. he wouldn't attack shouxue though, it's true. from all that he's seen of him, todomatsu has a good read on things quite often—blessing and a curse. ]
I know this might not be comforting to hear, but we can see everything on Saturday... you're very clever! You're doing very well. I just hope you haven't been too burdened by everything.

Thanks... I'm trying my best for a change.
[ he's not really lacking in confidence as far as cleverness is concerned, but he's historically used it almost exclusively for selfish reasons, so it's encouraging to be praised for his efforts now that he's trying to be a little less shitty. ]
...You guys can seriously see everything, though? Is that just during trials, or...?
[ totty is trying. it means a lot to see anyone try when he's stuck on the other side and can't really do anything. it does show—it has results. he smiles, as wide as usual but a little soft in its sincerity. ]
Your efforts are paying off—you're amazing, Todomatsu! I'm so very proud that we're friends. [ which might sound rote, but he's genuine; really, he just needs to get all the encouragement he's wanted to say out while he can. ]
But, yes—we can see anything out in public! The tomfoolery... trials, and everything after. I wish we could do more than just observe, but... at least we can keep up with what you're all doing.
[ he doesn't really use that label often, so it feels weird to actually say it out loud, but. he doesn't hate it in this case. ]
Man, that's kind of embarrassing though, with all the dumb curses we keep hitting each other with. But I guess it keeps you in the loop with the important stuff, too.

The curses aren't always so bad! [ one was really bad but it's fine ] I like to think you're all just... keeping each other's spirits up!
[ yes...... people curse each other because it is good for morale... ]
