[ He's--not surprised, but, touched, really. Yukiko is a thoughtful person even if they spend most of their time messing with each other in a friendly way. ]
...Yeah. Thanks.
[ He exhales slowly through his nose. ]
I mean it, though. It's not that you're not cool now--obviously you are, I've always thought so. Weird powers and new talents are just, like, another layer to the coolness.
[They do spend quite a lot of time screwing around with one another don't they? That may need to change, at some point. But not right now. Her hand drops from his shoulder and she bobs her head in acknowledgement.]
I can accept that.
[Shifting, she looks him right in the eye.]
You know, you'll have these changes yourself. Eventually. and when you do, I'll be here to support you. I want you to know that.

[Yukiko does the unthinkable then. She reaches out, touching his upper arm and giving it a firm squeeze.]
Just...slow down, okay? Think what you say through. It's not a race, Yosuke.

...Yeah. Thanks.

[ Did she know that he's been feeling kind of left out from all the potential coolness that's been going around? He hopes he isn't that obvious...
So he does what he does best--he tries to laugh it off. ]
H-Hey, this is about you, right? Your fire powers and your saxophone playing...which, hey, we should test that second thing.
no subject
We should. I was actually going to head to a music shop this afternoon and see about giving one a try. Maybe picking one up.
[It's not like she doesn't have the money.]
Come with me? I'll drop you off after.
no subject
Y-Yeah? Really? That would be great! I happen to be a great resource on these kinds of things, you know.

[Nodding towards the parking lot then?]
wrapping up here?
Did you know I can play more than the guitar? Not the sax, but, I'm sure I can recognize some good brands at least. C'mon!
[ This is definitely easier to think about than the fire thing. ]
You're driving, right?
Yep that sounds good <3
[She laughs brightly, already heading off that way.]
Of course.
[She has the Mystery Machine, who do you think is driving?]
