Well... thank you, Ruva-san. Sorry for the surprise--I just didn't expect it. [At all. Why would someone like Ruva consider him "worthy", even if by a loose definition?]
[And Minato's mouth...snaps shut immediately. There's a difference between receiving one of those flower crowns from a friend, from someone who he knows appreciates his company just as he appreciates theirs and--
This.
Gandharva says it so simply, so to the point, and even if his bar is set pretty low... Minato is still not expecting it at all. He's definitely looking very blindsided at that, at a thorough loss for words, one hand reaching up to touch the petals gently.
And, after a moment longer, he dips his head quietly.]
... Then... thank you, Ruva-san. [It's said very quietly, though, overwhelmed as he is.]

Minato definitely blinks blankly at Ruva from under that flower crown and then...lifts a hand to gently touch a petal.]

No need to thank me.

[Minato says that firmly, hands shoved back into his pockets as he meets Gandharva's eyes.]
So I do need to thank you. Because I'm grateful to you for this--and for your feelings.

Ruva-san... are you the sort of person who is bad at dealing with feelings?
no subject
... What's that supposed to mean?

But you know.
It’s fine.]

Haven't you ever heard that you're supposed to respect your elders, brat?
no subject
I do respect you, Ruva-san, even though you won't tell me how old you are.
Honest.
