[ and then she pauses and at least has the grace to look a little sheepish. that was insensitive, hawke! ]
But I mean, you're quite attractive with... the bandages and all so it's not entirely strange. Still, I'm also very attractive and yet do I get compared to a jewel? No. What am I doing wrong here?
[It'sā not a fashion statement?! But to be fair, weirder things have been said about his eye-and-bandage combination. He just smirks at what she says, not particularly bothered by the insensitivity or the fact that she totally just hit on him, either.]
Maybe it's just not your kind of crowd. [Not that that's a bad thing, in this case. Who wants to have the same fans as Takasugi?? Probably no one.] But I'm sure you can still win them over.
[ just because you wear a bandage over your eye doesn't mean you don't actually have an eye. hawke knows better than that. ]
You mean your admirers are more disturbed than mine? Ah... I suddenly feel insulted, I hadn't realized I was giving the impression that I attract freaks. [ a shake of her head ] And we were doing so well.
You shouldn't have to take all the credit. That's just the way these people are. They tend to get a little overexcited about the objects of their affection.
[That is such an understatement. Is that really any way to describe stalkers?!]
I can't say I've done anything particularly noteworthy yet. [Oh, how he couldn't wait for that to change, but it wasn't time, not quite yet.] If it's like this now, imagine what would happen if one were to try?
[Hint hint?! He definitely has no interest in becoming a local celebrity, so it's fine if she wants to steal the throne.]
Oh. Oh! [ takasugi, don't say that kind of stuff around her because -- ] Well, of course if you're planning anything adventurous, do be sure to include me. I could even be of help, perhaps.

You mean eye, don't you?

Which is you. Have you really done anything to cause such a fervor? I have to wonder if I'm talking to a local celebrity with the way you put it.
