[O-Oh... He hadn't thought of that... He doesn't want people to lose trust in him. Again...]
I-I ... It was only one of 'em! [it is a flimsy argument but he has to say something in his defense...] A-And he's prob'ly laughin' about it too, right?
B-But... [What are you, my mom?! is what he wants to say. But he knows from experience that those particular words invite more hostility. So okay, let her be Pseudo-Mom for now. (He feels guilty enough that she may as well fill in the role. At least it is someone besides his brother or himself trying to play at it.)
Still, he squares his shoulders and tries to look at anything but her.]
Do I have to...? Can't I just - send him a text or something? [He knows the answer but he will still try his luck.]
[There's no way out of this, is there? Rin holds up his shoulders for a few minutes longer, as if he were coming to a terrible decision. It wasn't fair... Why should he apologize? It was just a prank! ...so, then, why did Alice have to go and strike a chord? (and why did she have to be right about everything else?)
The fight slowly ebbs out of him and his shoulders slump in correspondence.]
[He was just about to ask who this "Gon" person was when Killua interrupted him about some text. Rin would roll his eyes but it takes that minute to think about what kind of candy would be good. Maybe lollipops? He'd have to ask Botan how to make those... Ice pops would be much easier.
But the mention of "specifics" brings him back to the conversation.]
's not gonna overload him! 'Sides I gotta show you a thing or two about onigiri first.
[He will test the limits later, after he shows Maka how to cook. Then, and only then, will he indulge in teleporting random things throughout the city.]
... It's unlikely to be permanent, but you can't just go hurting people because it's 'funny'. Not only is it incredibly rude, but I don't want that behavior to go any further.
Wearing the dress isn't even the bad part! Why can't we just wear the dresses all day instead of modeling? [This is an entirely rhetorical suggestion that is not meant to be taken seriously in any way.]
What's the issue with the modeling, I'm asking you to be cute not sexy. You're cute so you should be fine. It's not like I'm making you go down the cat walk.
...I wasn't tryin' to hurt him. [He hadn't heard of anyone being seriously hurt by wasabi. Maybe Kaneki had a weak constitution? Or worse, he really did have an allergy and only realized it after the fact.]
[Before he allows himself any second thoughts, he take out his phone and leaves a message to that "young man". After he's done so, Rin doesn't bother to hide how shamefaced he is.]
NO! What would be the point of having a video and picture contest. If we had people go down the cat walk in Goldenrod.
[Rin, did you forget the details of the contest already???]
You just have to take a picture of yourself in the dress or have someone take the picture for you. Then you send it in, or you could send in a video it's all good.
