[Hinata exhales slowly, nodding. Paranoia isn't easy to kick at all, but he knows he needs to try...]

I will.

[And,]

...Thanks, Sousei.

[deontology]

[...hm.

That gets an almost amused response, really.]

There's no need to thank me for this. I'm afraid I offer my unwarranted opinion regardless of if it is wanted or needed.

[He's kind of bad at not doing it.]

[particularity]

[Hinata snorts lightly--]

I'm still grateful for it.

I... remember things I shouldn't have forgot 'cause of it. [Like putting that confidence and belief in his friends, not giving in to the worries of tomorrow.]

[deontology]

...Hm.

[He's used to preaching, he really is. He preaches to Soramaru, and his ducklings, and the Yamainu. And Tenka. He preaches to Tenka a lot.

But he knows it's not always welcome (he's just really opinionated). But--]

If it was useful to you, then that's fine. You have reasonably good judgement otherwise.

[particularity]

"Reasonably good"?

[Hinata echoes... with a slow grin. Uwoah he's about to joke around...]

Well, thanks. I'll keep working on it.

[deontology]

Yes. Reasonably good.

[you asked, Hinata, just remember this.]

You have a sensible head on your shoulders, but despite that you are incapable of taking care of yourself. You overdo it when it is not necessary. You struggle with not taking everything onto your shoulders alone.

[So.

Yeah.

Reasonably good. But not perfect.]

[particularity]

[Oof, he felt that one hit him... like an evidence bullet gone wrong at a trial...]

...

...I know. I am trying. [He looks out over the dance floor.] I remind myself of it, that I don't have to be constantly doing something. [And it's slowly, slowly coming along.]

[deontology]

I know you are. It wasn't a criticism. [....actually, it kind of was. He pauses, and amends--]

Rather, I know you are working on it. But you did ask, and so I answered.

[So.

There.

Sousei's always going to be pretty blunt and honest about these things.]
