Fair, but you should still meet him. He's not bossy like Seijuro. He likes complaining and light novels and he's pretty realistic about how crappy things can be. He's got a really low presence, which sounds like a bad thing but it can be really funny when people don't see him even though he's like six feet tall with gray hair and eyes so he shouldn't blend into the background the way he does.
Her name's Ochako Uraraka. We worked together on a monster-hunting thing a while back, and the way it went's been bugging me for a while. You might have seen her post on the network just recently about an anonymous gift she was given.
It wasn't me.
But that doesn't mean we can't trick her into thinking it was.
He wants to take credit for a gift he didn't give her.
And thinks it's necessary to specify that it wasn't actually from him when Emerald never in a million years would've thought he would give a girl a cute outfit.
Her response is taking way too long as she comprehends these facts. ]
[Mercury just assumes she had to use the bathroom or something. So. He suspects nothing about what she may or may not suspect.]
Roll with the punches and see what happens. I'm sure whoever actually gave her the gift will decide to take credit eventually, so that should be fun too.
I'm going to have to say that the outfit was your idea after I asked you for advice. You just need to play along.
[ She still has plenty of trust issues, thanks. Look forward to any time Akashi talks to someone who's better than she is in any way or any time someone other than herself and Akashi notices Mayuzumi when he's not trying actively to be noticed. ]
No one said anything about love, ugh.
[ Emerald is nowhere near prepared to deal with that word thanks. ]

Then we'll have to cuddle instead, all while you're trying to eat dinner.

You do realize your advice actually worked and now I get to bring all my boy problems to you.

Mercury...
Spent time with a girl.
He can't stop thinking about it.
He wants to take credit for a gift he didn't give her.
And thinks it's necessary to specify that it wasn't actually from him when Emerald never in a million years would've thought he would give a girl a cute outfit.

No punchline.
Okay.

Not everything has to have an elaborate endgame plot. Sometimes it's more fun to wing it.

Just so we're on the same page, I don't like her. That's not what this is.

Do you want me to help or not?

Wouldn't have brought it up if I didn't want your help, would I?

We'll bump into her at the flower festival and spin a tale from there. Just play the good, well-natured, supportive friend. Have some fun with it.
