[Oh my god Lupin....... He definitely notices that expression, but... Vriska is a difficult person, so difficult expressions are to be expected when she comes up, probably...]
It's not like that, Lupin-san. I'm pretty sure we're not each other's type. [So, so dryly.]
... But even so, I can't deny that it does feel like a privilege. This entire situation, I mean.
as usual, his answer is charmingly sincere, and he just smiles, shaking his head. he's going to get stuck in a positive feedback loop of flattery, at this rate. ]

[Hey, for the record, "Just keep it in your memories for me" is also charmingly sincere. But Minato just flashes Lupin a small smile at that, and obediently takes Lupin's hand, standing up carefully to get out of the boat and onto solid ground.

I definitely want to hear more about it another night, though. [Honestly...he's fascinated.] Getting the chance to hear how you can do these things from the source seems like a lucky opportunity.
[Minato is not sneaky at all so he cannot emulate it in the least, but.

Watch your step.

And.
Quite frankly, he has to ask:]
How did you plan all of this...?
[That was all very impressive.]

He'd love to hear about it anyway.]
