[ When he had been given the go ahead about the drinks looking good, he stares to speed up into almost a trot in that direction before skidding to a halt at Nanami's next words. He lets the older man finish out and tilts his head a bit.
Ah, yes. The gentle reminder that he's a child and Nanami is the adult here. While he's had it explained to him in very plain terms, there was still a part of him the almost yearned to be treated as an equal to Nanami. He doesn't even realize the full weight and magnitude of that wish and might be something that is a regret later in life for even feeling that way, but it's just something innate. Wanting to be accepted by this man he's learned to quickly respect and that he's grown fond of very easily.
From the outside, it would almost look like these two would be so opposite in their personality that they wouldn't get along. But that wasn't the case. Itadori genuinely appreciated his time with Nanami and despite the lectures, would love even more time with him. So being here was perfect.
But once Nanami finishes his words, he puts up his hand, almost like he wants to reject what Nanami says. ]
Wait. Shouldn't I be able to do what I want with the manna I earn?
[ And what if Nanami is important to him and he wants to get him a gift or treat him back? Kids did that kind of thing for adults plenty of times. Even small tokens would be fine... But it sounds like even that might not be accepted. ]
