[ Kuro doesn't think of her like an idiot at all, and doesn't have that reaction to the realization. Instead, it's just like she says - they can have a little fun together, and do something during this slightly chaotic time. If only it had happened at a different time... ] Mm, I think it would be pretty fun, too. And it's better that way, ain't it? The same idea as puttin' all that work into somethin'.
[ But he straightens up from where he's leaning on the back of the bench, cocking his head, taking her in -
That subdued look is what clues him in, at least to her shift in mood. He gives her a lopsided smile. ] Sure thing, Suzu. I wouldn't mind at all. What've you got in mind..?
[Welp, here it goes. She feels a bit bad for bringing down the jovial mood, thanks to her usual guilt complex and overall anxiety, but... Suzu knows that Kuro would understand. Looking down, she twiddles her fingers, looking downwards shyly. After a brief moment of hesitation, she finally propositions:]
I-I was thinking... since we have more free time now... We could pick up some flowers for Mama... [She raises her head to look up at him sheepishly.] C-Can we?
[ That answer pangs something in his chest, an old wound that never quite healed right, but... that's why he gets it. It might make the mood more somber, might add a twist of melancholy, but... it's something that they were bound to address, right? And mom deserves the best, even now. ]
Sure. [ Kuro's voice is soft in response, and he reaches out to cup the side of her head, brushing back some of her hair so he can see both eyes properly. ] I think she'd like that, too. We can tell her about everything that's happened.
