[ Well, Kaiza looks sheepish now. Also, I'm very glad that Hansa is rocking his domestic life. ]
Uh... don't worry about it! What are grades, anyway? [ Besides possibly important to his future. ] —Oh hey, Treasure.
[ He crouches down to pet the approaching cat, who has been named Treasure. Kaiza possibly gets embarrassed over this name sometimes, despite being responsible for it. ]
But yeah, you'd better not sneeze on me! [ He pauses. ] Anyway, we were doing arts and stuff in school today, so...
[oh my god hansa. emet-selch rolls his eyes, muttering-]
You hardly need to fuss so, I will-- [achoo.] -live.
[sniff. he will accept the soup in a moment, maybe, turning to kaiza for now.]
If you do not focus more on your grades, you may well regret not doing so later. [it's going to be study time later on. but:] Well, what did you do during it, then?
... Well, I dunno if I'd call it cool... but we're supposed to give it to you, so you know. Don't get your hopes up or anything!
[ Now Kaiza is embarrassed, which is truly how you know the teenage years are approaching. (Sort of. He's still, what, eight?)
But he fetches a few things out of his backpack (lightly pushing Treasure away from it after he places it on the floor) and holds them out. One is a drawing, while the other is a handmade red bracelet—maybe a bit sloppily made, because Kaiza is not Hishi living with Hilda the crafts master, but it's at least not going to fall apart. ]
[he takes the drawing, looking it over, expression neutral as ever (he sniffles once, because of the cold i should specify, not emotionally); after several moments, during which he does very well at keeping a straight face, he nods.]
Would you look at that. I've never had anyone draw me before...look, he even got your grumpy look!
[Just putting a hand against his chest, emotionally, unlike a certain Ascian. This child...]
...I'm definitely going to put this up on the wall. Thank you, Kaiza. [does this rainforest place have pins or tape or something? WHATEVER he will figure something out.] And the bracelet? Let's see that.
[ Hansa can have whatever he wants in this house, except for a cure for the common cold. ]
You're both really hard to draw, you know that?
[ But Kaiza hands the bracelet over! Hansa may want to hold onto that. ]
It... shouldn't come apart. Probably. [ He scratches the back of his neck. ] I'm not that good at crafts... There was one girl who was kind of giving me weird looks when I messed up.
It's the eyepatch, isn't it. Super difficult to draw.
[He definitely takes the bracelet. He raises it up and looks over it, grinning - and don't worry, Emet, he'll reach over and ruffle the kid's hair for you.]
You're great at it. Like what Emet-Selch said. Maybe she's just jealous! You never know. Anyways, this is an awesome start for you. You just have to keep going.

This isn't me fussing, this is me protecting the rest of us from your apparently long-lived germs.
[He'll allow Emet to be the stickler on the kid's education, just folding his arms, but he nods after the other's question.]
Arts and crafts? I hope that's your way of saying you made something cool.

...'tis an accurate likeness, I would say.
[it's a compliment.]

[he doesn't do physical gestures so there is no headpat or anything here, why am i even PLAYING you emet-selch.]
But if you have trouble with it, then you have only to practice further. Pay the others no mind.

Yeah, work hard and all that, right? Got it, got it.
[ Though speaking of being earnest... onto the next scenario! ]
