[ It is a little hard to look around to see what shops are in the area with the crowds bustling about. He still takes a second to carefully survey the area -- noting, again, that there does not seem to be any curses filtering about in the group of people.
Nanami wonders if there will come a time that he will no longer look for curses, while he is here. He doubts it. But there's no need to bring up that sort of talk to Itadori. Because he would like for the teenager to stop looking for them while he is here; he would like for Itadori to be able to just look around without searching for anything amiss. ]
They do. [ He gives a nod at the drinks. ]
Itadori-kun, I will say that even though I'm planning to buy all these food for us that I will reject any attempt in the future from you to pay me back. [ Yes, it seems better to him to have this sort of conversation. ]
I am letting you know now that I refuse the idea of taking any manna that you earn for yourself. I feel that if I don't tell you this now that it will become a headache later.
no subject
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. ]
no subject
[ He frowns a little at the hand that is raised. Breathing in deep, he thinks that if even a matter like this will be argued with -- discussing the bigger issue will be even more troublesome.
Nanami does hope to sit Itadori down to tell him that he does not need to involve himself with anything that should happen in the city. With so many unknown variables, it is wise to assume that anything could happen. But he hopes that the trouble that occurs is mundane in nature -- or well, mundane as far as the planet goes.
He hopes that it will not be on a scale like they have already experienced, but there is no way of knowing. The world that they came from has no connection to the world that they are on. He has no idea what could be or would be, but if there is even a chance, he would like Itadori to remain out of it.
There is no reason for him to continue to live his life for the sake of others. He is still young enough to be selfish and self-centered -- and Nanami does not see anything wrong with that, at all.
Breathing out another sigh, he wonders how all of that will go over, and asks a question that he is certain that he will be repeating: ]
Is it really that big of a problem, Itadori-kun?
no subject
[ Right now, Itadori is rather put out at the fact that Nanami doesn't get why he's a bit upset at the idea of not being able to give Nanami anything during the duration of their stay. Really, he gets part of the idea why Nanami doesn't want to accept things from him while they're there, but... he doesn't have to be that strict with his guidelines.
It isn't like he's just going to be throwing his earnings in the garbage. Nanami has been an important person to him and he feels like he's going to continue being important, especially in this place. So, it's likely that from time-to-time he'll want to surprise him with small gifts if we spots something or just as a "thank you" gesture. Sure, he doesn't know important dates relating to Nanami, nor is it certain that time follows the same here as it does at home, but that's besides the point. They could make their own little celebrations here.
This is one place where Itadori is going to be defiant and try to make Nanami understand why it was important to him. Hopefully they could come to some kind of agreement that would work for the both of them.
Or, maybe, it'll just be who is more stubborn than the other. Hard to say sometimes. ]
You might be an adult, but you're still someone important to me, Nanamin.
[ That's enough of an explanation, right?? ]
no subject
His head gives a very slight tilt as he waits to hear the reason for why it is an issue. But Nanami can honestly say that he is surprised by the response given. He thought that it would be an issue of equality or not wanting to be seen as a child. There were a few answers that he could give to that, but he did not think that the reason would be something as simple as he is important to him.
He lets out a slight hesitant sound.
On this point, I suppose I must... ]
Do as you like, then.
no subject
He's long since accepted the fact that Nanami will treat him like a child, so he was full aware that type of argument wouldn't work anyway. ]
Will do.
[ And he gives him a big thumbs up in return. He'll make sure he doesn't go overboard to make Nanami upset, but he won't hold back now if he sees something that just strikes him. ]
