[Thank god no one in this conversation could really have lifelong regrets and it's all just a running gag about the TV question, for sure. Everyone spending their afternoon cutting up fish here is just some guy!
Wouldn't that be nice. Shinjiro blinks, surprised-but-only-just by the swerve away from simply taking the (honestly not very good) compliment into fishy determination. Only just barely surprised because, well, he's already got "fussy honor student" pinned in his mental notes for Akechi, but surprised that he's not finding some polite way to tell Shinjiro to fuck off and let him do this on his own.
...Maybe only Shinjiro would do that, and not politely. Ahem. He nods.]
'Course it will. [He can literally see the evidence already, so this is not an empty platitude. Congrats, honor student.] Damn, you're fast.
[Better get moving on his own fish to catch up--! Something to think about besides TV and regrets.]
You cart any of that flour down here from the windmill? We might as well bread these when they're ready, instead of grilling 'em.
