WHAT IT SAYS ON THE BOX.

I'd prefer if you were on your best behavior all the time.

[blinged]

...I see. Then may I try something to make sure I'm doing it right?

[weddingcupcake]

[suspicious look!!]

If you must.

[blinged]

Then if you will allow me...

[He gives as deep a bow as a tiny boy carrying books can manage]

I'll carry your books the rest of the way.

[weddingcupcake]

This is still suspicious, but it's also oddly charming. Maybe this jerk is finally understanding how he should act!]

I'd be very grateful.

[blinged]

Oh good! I can leave them wherever you'd like!

[Y u p , going to take the the books and fall into step behind Tokiomi. He isn't used to carrying books, nor does he really want to, but he's interested to see how easy it is to win someone over by being good]

[weddingcupcake]

[It's pretty easy when it's Tohsaka Tokiomi. He's essentially the kind of person who wishes to think well of people, despite his prissy attitude and social ineptitude.]

See, it isn't that hard to be polite.

[blinged]

I'd venture that it's almost enjoyable!

[weddingcupcake]

Of course. Doing the right thing is its own reward.

[blinged]

Is it? Then I'd like to experience that further!

[weddingcupcake]

...Really?

[that's a little strange for you, tbh]

[blinged]

Naturally! I've never felt much gratification in good deeds until now - it would only make sense to explore that feeling, right?

[weddingcupcake]

The better question is why you didn't like it before.

[blinged]

Oh I don't think it's a question of not liking it as much as it is a matter of not realizing my enjoyment!

[weddingcupcake]

What's the difference now?

[blinged]

It pleases you, for starters!

[weddingcupcake]

[oh no turning red again]

W-What's that supposed to mean?

[blinged]

That I enjoy making cute people happy. Isn't that obvious?

[weddingcupcake]

Stop calling me that.

[blinged]

But it sounds less serious than 'handsome' or 'beautiful' - I don't know if I can commit to sounding super serious about you yet!

[weddingcupcake]

You don't have to say that either. I'm not one of your playthings.

[blinged]

It's sort of a shame, isn't it? Ah, but I would use a much nicer word than 'plaything' -- it has some unfortunate connotations!

[weddingcupcake]

It's accurate.

[blinged]

Is it? Personally I would prefer 'lover' if you must regard my acquaintances in such a manner.

[weddingcupcake]

That makes you sound too nice.
