Hello everyone...

_{[There's a pause, as he hesitates.]}

I-I was only wondering about something... I-it's nothing really important, just...

_{[another pause.]}

...Is there any way to gain more confidence...?

<sub>[Preferably some other way than being told that he needs to believe in himself or be more open.

Since that doesn't help much and as you can see he still suffers from lack of confidence.]</sub>

Can't I change? I won't... stay like this forever, right?

_{[What can he do to not look cute??]}

[dontsaymyname]

[ Barry shrugged a shoulder. ]

Who am I to say? It may be in your genes to look only like this.

[demonicbookworm]

Not at all. My father looks pretty scary to tell the truth...

<sub>[and he frowns a lot.

But the problem is that Ruca probably resembles his own mother more than his father.]</sub>

[dontsaymyname]

And your mother?

[ Barry still looks amused. He couldn't picture Ruca as anything but cute. ]

[demonicbookworm]

Um... she's... very pretty...

_{[are you happy now.]}

[dontsaymyname]

Then that must be where you get your looks from~

[ Yes he is quite pleased. ]

[demonicbookworm]

B-but... m-my mother has blond hair!

_{[he doesn't look like her! Even though they have the same eyes.]}

[dontsaymyname]

Your point? You can still look like someone without having the same hair color.

I bet your eyes are the same~

[ Barry hit the nail on the head there. Besides wasn't that usually how it worked in families? If it wasn't the complete appearance it was always the eyes. ]

[demonicbookworm]

W-what?! H-how did you...

_{[he shakes his head.]}

That doesn't mean anything!

_[blushing.]

[dontsaymyname]

Oh so I was right~

[ Barry smirked. Ruca looked so cute with that blush. ]

Well your eyes are the most beautiful feature about you. If you don't look like your father, and if your hair is different than your mother, then it must be your eyes that make you so similar.

[demonicbookworm]

W-well... actually I have the same hair color as my father...

<sub>[not commenting anything else. He is not agreeing with you.

Still blushing and even though he wants that blush gone it stubbornly stays where it is.]</sub>

[dontsaymyname]

Hmm and maybe that's all you have~

[ Barry chuckled lightly. ]

Ruca, you really should make the most of your good looks.

[demonicbookworm]

_{[good looks. What good looks.]}

I-I really don't think I can do anything looking like this.

[dontsaymyname]

You'd be surprised what you could do with those looks Ruca~

[demonicbookworm]

_{[He has a feeling he doesn't really want to know.]}

...Really?
