[Yep, sounds like she was teased in grade school (and perhaps beyond)! Which doesn't exactly shock him. Prim and proper types like her, who have lots of stubborn pride and get easily flustered, are always lots of fun to tease. He just hopes the teasing wasn't anything too cruel. She doesn't sound deeply wounded, judging from her tone of voice, so that's a good sign, anyway.]
Well, if you ask me, a queen of ice isn't such a bad thing to be. I could be the King of Sunshine, and we could balance out each other's temperatures ♪
[That's all he'll say to that before letting the embarrassing nickname matter drop. Now back to the suite tour!]
Is that how it works?
[Sensor activation, not magic. It's unexpected, since her suite doesn't look super high-tech otherwise. But she's clearly pleased with it, and it is impressive. He smiles and agrees,]
Very convenient! It means you never have to open doors for yourself, like a prim and proper princess ♪ I'd love to never have to open doors for myself, so I totally get you.
[That's Hiyori Tomoe. Always preferring not to lift a finger! (Just as long as someone like Jun is there to lift one for him.)
It seems there's no end to the technological marvels inside her suite, as she proceeds to describe another one while they're in the library: a climate-controlled balcony! That gets his brows to arch; he knows all about heated floors and other conveniences, of course, but a fully climate-controlled outdoor balcony is still impressive.]
Even at ES, we don't have that sort of convenience. I'll have to tell Eichi-kun he's fallen behind the times.
[That'll be a funny conversation. If he ever makes it back to ES, that is.
There's one final revelation in store, and it's the most charming of them all: a secret passageway hidden behind a library wall! He smiles even more brightly when he hears that, less from excitement and more because he's amused by what it says about her. In some ways, she's like a little kid still.]
You've really thought of everything.
[He picks up the box of sweets and the bags of party stuff again. He just set them down, but no matter; he looks enthused.]
Go ahead and lead the way. We'll move through the secret passageway and have a secret party~♪ Since it's a secret, no one will show up and tell us not to eat too many sweets. Which is good news for you, I'm sure.
