... if it's just about making it up to you - I can just tell you now. But uh - don't repeat this to anyone 'cause it's kinda gross, and definitely don't bring it up to Takeru or you'll actually lose major points with him. He hates talking about me.
[but.]
.... he's my partner, though. So that means nothing and no one is gonna be more important to me than him until we're done here. If it's about giving myself to someone, even if it's not romantic, I already decided that a while back.
[if anything it's probably a giant piece of the puzzle as to why mineo doesn't feel comfortable with romance at all - his priorities are spoken for, and he's loyal enough to never disengage from them.]
I guess, but... You wanna get to know him, right? [since the reason he made her dinner at all was because he didn't talk about takeru's hobbies] So I'm giving you advice: he really hates talking about me. Instant landmine.
[takeru will instantly want to leave the conversation if mineo becomes the topic, he hates it so much]
I don't know about after - we're still going to hang out, probably but... At least here, we have an agreement. For as long as that lasts... I know he's important to me.
[ Even if the two of them don't get along in a traditional sense, if Takeru will just up and leave even though it's obvious the two of them work together...
I think people are making him sit through it a lot - so when he already doesn't like talking about me, it's just gotten worse.
[mineo says it with a tone of surprise - like he's not even sure why people would talk to takeru about him???????
please leave their weird relationship alone]
If you wanna talk to him, stick to either useful conversation or like... [a beat. what does takeru like.] I guess you could criticize other stuff and he'd find it engaging enough.

In any sense, but if that's what's important to you, yeah.

You two do seem close. He seems prickly about a lot of things, not just you, though.
[ Medb doesn't make it sound like a bad thing. She actually doesn't mind that about people in general, considering her own personality. ]
But you're going to devote yourself to him while we're here, huh? And after?

I'll try to remember that.
[ She tilts her head to the side. ]
He hasn't actually walked away from any of our conversations, so I don't think I'm doing too terribly?
[ She's not certain, though. ]

[and he just snorts, a little amused at her uncertainty]
I can tell you how to not annoy him based on my own mistakes, but I'm no good at actually making him happy.
But if he can get along with other people here, that's enough for me.

You're so sincere, Mineo. Do people ever get cavities listening to you?

[THAT REALLY HIT HIM OUT OF NOWHERE]
I - I just say what comes to mind....

I know you do. It's not a bad thing. A lot of people like to hear those kinds of things.

... I guess.... I don't really think twice about it... but if it helps people, that's good.
