Even if you don't mind it, I shouldn't be asking so much...

[ He rubs his neck awkwardly because it's unfamiliar and new to him. Nier has always been the provider, the giver, and seldom does he ask for or expect anything in return. It's a pleasant surprise when anyone considers him.

A nod. ]

I'd also have to ask Kainé, but I can't be gone for too many days to visit friends.

[ HIS SISTER!! ]

You're not asking too much. I'm going to miss you too.

[ He squeezes Nier's knee briefly. ]

I'd like to meet your sister too.

[ i hate that claude keeps touching him and he's so used to it now. ]

I think I've said she would like you. [ He might be too thrilled at the thought of Yonah meeting his friends, especially Claude. Nier's beaming. ] Except she's a talker, so you two would need to fight for the microphone.

[ But then Nier's expression falls because he's...... thinking about something. One moment. ]

[ Claude just mutters to himself, ] I don't like hearing myself talk that much...

[ Nier doesn't hide his feelings well at all, so he notices the change in expression, and waits for Nier to share what's on his mind. ]

[ He gently pats Claude to show he's half-kidding. Oh, Claude is waiting for him. ]

I was... Worried that she'd get a crush on you.

[ Then he'd need to kill Claude. ]

[ ......... Claude does his best not to laugh. ]

I don't think that'll be a problem.

[ no, please laugh at him. ]

You think so? We have similar taste in things, I think. [ As if it's genetic. ] I'm just not sure I'm ready to handle her liking boys.

[ Any boy. Of any age. ]
