and because it's familiar, buzen does the exact same thing he did probably just a day ago - and he lifts the shark a little higher again so that he's hiding behind it. then, in a dorky little falsetto, he answers from behind:]
Wow! I'm Fate and I looooove my name, Shen-sa—uhhh, Shenhe-chan!! Kyuun! ♥
[instinctively, she reaches to flick his forehead.]
Stop that.
[but there's no force to it, it's the kind of almost flustered tsundere response, except instead of being like "it's not like i like you baka" it's more like "i have no idea how to respond to this amusement i feel except to hit it with a stick" kind of thing. like a cat bunny-kicking a toy.
a pause.]
Fate is an acceptable name, then. [huff. she's pleased she didn't screw that one up.]
[the flick just pulls another laugh from him, entirely amused]
Haha! You could be more honest too, Shen-san.
[though he's clearly teasing. in the end, he feels as though both of them were triumphant in the treasure hunt. sort of. he's a good loser but sometimes getting a chance to play around is enough for him.]
Yeah, yeah! Fate, Hemo, and Dash. We'll get them all together sometime soon.
Maybe Matsu can join us in the next treasure hunt... I know I don't seem like the type, but I'm not a fan of losing, you know? I'll definitely get you in the next round!
[a pause, as she brushes some sort of invisible dirt from her clothes and straightens up, settling. despite all that, though - there's a general sense of warmth coming from her. she doesn't hate this.]
I would like that. [it sounds like... fun, which she's reminding herself that she's allowed to have.] And I should like to see you try. I'm not very good at losing.
[that is teasing, for as flat as it comes out.
... she reaches to take the shark so she can hold him.]
That's normally my line, you know? So I guess we've got quite a match ahead of us.
[matsui will just be like 'why am i here' but he's a good sport so it'll be fun!! at the reach though, buzen will happily bestow the shark in shenhe's waiting arms]
There you go! Does that mean our trade contract is complete?
[he's just borrowing some of her words... he's so monkey see, monkey do]

[she will hold this shark and maybe hug it a little. just a little.]
I look forward to our next match.
