[ She wasn't exactly five hundred voices seeing as the snow leopard was not bothered at all, but Noah does get a dusting of red on his cheeks at the praise. ]
Th-Thank you!
[ Congratulations, you have managed to make Noah embarassed. ]
I did actually. It's nice to be able to play like this after such a long time. I hardly had time back home, and whenever I did the kids usually asked for the same song over and over. Not to mention they have me sing to them till my throat is sore.
Well, I promise I won't overwork you that much. I'll be okay with just this one song for today!
[ Especially since it's such a nice surprise when it comes out of nowhere. It truly leaves Minako satisfied, even as her over the top reaction seems to melt into a bit more of a softer smile. ]
See, this is why you should do more stuff just for the enjoyment of it. You were really shining while you were playing just now, you know? I've never seen you like that before.
No way, you were definitely great! Do you think I just say this stuff without meaning it? [ .. to be fair, Minako does throw around compliments at people all the time, including at herself..
So it's true that it might not seem as believable as when it'd have come out of the mouth of someone more sceptical.
Still, she is being honest here. She does mean it. ]
There's nothing I like more than seeing people doing what they love most. That's why I'm making sure to let you know that you're great whenever you follow your heart!
[ Minako lets out a faint surprised sound - kind of like a 'hm?' ]
How can something be too cheesy? [ It's not like she's unfamiliar with the concept, mind you. Minako actually does get what he's saying here.
It's just her own unique way of saying that it definitely wasn't too cheesy. ]
Aren't super sweet love songs the best? You could totally use that song to confess to someone if you ever end up having a crush, you know! I'm sure whoever you'd confess to that way would be absolutely over the moon!
Minako sounds so genuinely clueless here for a moment. For as busy as Minako is with romance, basically all the time, it seems like the implications of what he's saying here or what he just showed her are going twenty miles right over her head. Maybe it's since she views him in such a platonic way that she can't even imagine anyone viewing what happened just now in any other way.. ]
What kind of wrong idea would Monika get? She'd just know you're a good guitar player!
[ He hopes that's all it'll be, but on the off chance that it's not. ]
Well, then lets just keep it a secret then. Kinda like, if I do start going after a lady seriously, it'll be like a nice "wow" kinda surprise, you know?
[ Also he thinks if word gets out he might be asked to perform on stage or something. ]
Oh.. sure! [ At least that does instantly seem to make sense to Minako.
She's a huge romantic, after all. She can imagine wanting to keep that sort of talent a surprise to a potential crush, just so it's a bigger surprise when he does pull out the big guns..
.. or the guitar, in this case. ]
Don't worry, your secret is absolutely safe with me. These lips are sealed!

[ He says but he turning really red now. ]
But thanks still. I'm glad I was able to do that song justice, and bring a bit of cheer.

[ It's still just embarassing, esspecially since he's not doing this with any other motives other than she helped him a bit. ]
The song wasn't too cheesy was it? People back home always said that it was pretty cheesy for me to like it so much.

[ He chuckles at the idea as a few people come to mind. ]
I'll be sure to keep that in mind if the right moment ever comes up.
[ Meaning he may or may not do it, because of reasons that are...complicated. ]
Ah, by the by, do you mind keeping this on the down low? I don't want to give people the wrong idea or anything. Especially not your partner.

Glad to hear it! If you ever want a song, just let me know.
