Hey! I guess I'm busy right now, but leave me a message and I'll get back to you when I can.

Trust me, fishing knots can look good. Just takes an artistic flair, some skill and maybe not wanting to lose your favorite lure. [Raising his hands and setting them briefly on his obi, almost like he intends on undoing it to show him and make a point, Harada already has his thumb hooked in at his hip and is pulling the whole thing to place the knot in the back. Lingering, there's lingering happening, Noct isn't entirely oblivious about it - but reading anything more into it than idly thinking that Harada is warm, Noct lets the sensation pass right over his head.] Hm... guess it's something to listen to, if it was a thing your father said. [Fathers. He's not entirely sure he wants to broach that subject, with all the hundreds of little things his own father has said over the years. Noct ends up staring quietly into the mirror anyway, like he could see more than himself and Harada in the reflection. He can see it, a little, the resemblance he himself carries.]

I'll have to take your word for it.

[Oh, but why did he bring up his father? Or just his family in general? Sano hooks his thumbs into his own hakama this time, and levels his gaze to the floor.]

Yeah, probably.

[It's not a subject he's completely against talking about, but it's definitely not something he would bring up for fun. It's not a fun story.]

I'm not always a great listener.

[He falls silent for a moment, his mind trying to latch onto anything to get the conversation back on track. His eyes glance over the knot at Noctis' back and he frowns a little, concentrating.

Maybe...]

Y'know, here's a thought.

[He reaches forward and tugs the knot undone, readying it for Noctis to use again.]

Show me one of these fishing knots. Maybe Hijikata-san would get a kick out of it.

[Dropping his hands to catch the obi when he feels it being tugged right open, Noct looks up at him for a moment with confusion - then amusement, a realizing smile spreading on his face, before he smooths the fabric of the obi idly with his thumbs. They're going to skip this topic, that's fine by him. It's better not to think on it too hard anyway.]

I guess only a few could work, since it isn't like I've got a hole to loop anything with, but...

[Turning to face Harada instead and loop the obi behind him and then hold it tight on his left hip with his elbow, he pauses a second before looking up and gesturing with a tip of his head. Give him a hand and hold it there so he can do the rest.]

I'd usually use my teeth as the extra hold, but you see the problem I'm having.
