Maybe, [he agrees, blandly.] but that's my business.
[He doesn't expect her to understand. An emo teen he may be, but even Natsuno has his limits, and he's certainly not going to keep flaunting his tragic backstory for sympathy points. If anything, he respects Rita's bluntness.]
[Alright, that's enough gross friendship stuff for now. They have to keep it to small doses, after all--so, Rita stands up from where she was crouched next to him.]
Anyway...thanks for helping. He seems to be functioning properly, even if the barrier probably won't work on the captain the way it's calibrated now.
[And yet, she says it in a tone that makes it clear she isn't totally against the idea. She just tries not to think about what happens if he does get bored.]

No problem. Let me know if you need help figuring out how to calibrate him [It's him now, his name is Wilhelm forever] the right way.
[He would totally put a stupid stunt at the bridge for that.]
no subject
I will. But...it's not like the captain's going to just sit still and let me keep testing until it works.
[At least she doesn't think he would.]
no subject
No way of telling when or how he gets bored of it, though.
