( though it's difficult to tell if wataru is simply playing at being awed or not, it's never a bad feeling to feel - at least a little bit - that you've done something impressive, despite the less pleasant affairs woven into his time with the circus.

To think you father so many little chicks besides our Tori . . . I would be very well flattered, actually. I've never acted in my life; I think I might be able to learn a thing or two from them.

Though, gauging from Tori's review, I have the sense you must be quite the teacher ♪

( as in, a strict one. not necessarily a bad thing, in tori's case, as even miai knows he's somewhat spoiled - and not necessarily off-putting for miai, either.

as they approach the ferris wheel, it's miai this time who opens the door before wataru, ushering him in with a faux half-bow, hand to his chest. )

After you ♪
