[ Oh my god, there's so much enthusiasm. And Ellis thought he was the enthusiastic one sometimes, but Kashima just beat him out by miles. Ellis smiles at her and passes his message after typing. ]
((Already having handed it back, Kashima realizes belated that she didn't clarify,)) Oh, wait, she's- ((jk he can't hear, duh. So whenever Ellis gets to typing, she sticks her hand in between his view of the phone so she can get his attention - ripping the phone from his hand seemed rude and she didn't actually have one on her right now.))
[ Kashima's hand gets his attention, so he looks up and--oh. He chuckles a little because of her method--nobody's tried that before to get his attention. It's new. He likes that. He goes back to typing after lip reading what she said. ]
"That must be comforting. I don't know who she is, but maybe you can introduce me to her some time so that you can get started on learning."
Crying? Oh, no no! ((Kashima waves her hand, half apologetic.)) It's not really that it's more like...
((She holds the phone up near her face like it's reference, and then makes this face. And afterwards, she holds it back out for Ellis to answer, but offhandedly comments: )) Though I guess it does kinda look like crying too... maybe not totally wrong...
...Ugh... ((A sigh and a frown as she types it. Kashima looks a bit like she's been outed as the biggest loser on earth.))
"Plz don't tell anyone but I'm actually super tone deaf it was terrible. Seo's great though! Kind of. It's not her fault! It's just, y'know, like teaching a rock how to feel.
[ Oh. Ellis just looks at Kashima for a bit. She gets some pats on the back. You tried, Kashima. You tried. It's the small amount of comfort he can offer.
It's okay. You don't need to know how to sing to be charming anyway... is what he would type out but he thinks the back rubs are simpler to convey. ]
[ Ellis looks confused and looks down at his own phone. He doesn't think anything of it and hands his phone over to Kashima. He doesn't type a message, but maybe there was something that she wanted to say?? Who knows. ]
Ellis just looks at Kashima. How does he convey his words now?! Well, with crashes, things can always reboot, so he takes the phone back and tries to... start it up again. How does it work on a flip phone again.
Have Ellis standing here, staring at his flip phone all confused. ]
Gently, Kashima takes the phone out of his hand, types on it a moment, and then slides it back into his hand. The app is open for you just in case. Kashima actually has no idea if that was the problem but takes a reasonable guess.
Would you survive if it were a smart phone instead of a flip phone?))
Uh... ((Admittedly, she has no idea what he means. If he means that fact that she crashed his app, then well... again... NO ONE CAN KNOW. Anything else, she might as well look cool instead of clueless.))
"I confess that in the wake of your smile, any lesser thought has utterly slipped my mind.
((Kashima: "compliments can bullshit me out of any situation."))
[ That doesn't answer his question! That only leaves Ellis to be more suspicious of Kashima. Ellis smiles back at Kashima without any other gestures for a while.
Oh! Right, I distracted you from lunch, huh? Uhm... Here, wow that cake looks bad, ((Kashima takes the tray from the cake which she had almost-single handedly destroyed and wipes off a bit of the dessert that was on there (impossible to get it all off) and hands it back to Ellis.)) I already ate, so I'm going to go look around more. I'll catch you later, hey?
[ The cake is pretty much destroyed, but at this point, Ellis doesn't seem like he cares all that much. At least the shape of the cake is destroyed. It's all that matters. He puts it on his tray.
He waves goodbye to Kashima. Farewell, young prince!! Until we meet again. ]

((Kashima stops for a moment to make a face while typing this out, clearly considering her words.))

But she gave me singing lessons for a while so I'm sure she wouldn't mind something odd like this.
