Cinnabar? Maybe. But Cinnabar hates me, so I definitely would have been dead that night.
[ Plus, he's not quite sure Cinnabar would know how a slot machine works, that you get money out of it, unless somebody were to tell them. And if they were properly educated, why wouldn't Cinnabar want to spend all week playing the slots? Doesn't make sense. ]
Yeah. Our first encounter, I think I scared them. Not sure how, though... It's kinda unfortunate when somebody dislikes you before you get to know them.
[ Sort of how like people take one look at Hisoka and go "Hmm, nope." Minato never learned stranger danger because he wanted to get along with everybody. ]
[ If they were smarter, none of them would agree to being protags. ]
It doesn't bother me. It's just unfortunate. [ It's also unfortunate to be scared of people, just in general. He used to be like that too, wary of others and content to spend his time alone, but doing that, he would have lost the opportunity to meet some very kind people. Also a lot of assholes. His city was full of assholes. ]
They'll probably dislike it, but I think I'll be persistent and keep trying. You too. If somebody doesn't like you... Keep at it, and I'm sure they'll turn around.
[Minato is too stupidly pure. Pure? Sort of. Naive? Hisoka is literally sitting on the back of the bench with unwavering endurance, being creepy, and yet.]
Oh, don't worry. I agree. I'll always be persistent.
[The smile is sharp like a knife, but Minato, of course, probably won't see it that way. Hisoka rises straight up to his full height without any wobble, fluidly. He steps down and over Minato, a foot on the very edge of the bench seat before he's on the ground.]
Nap time for you. If you don't rest, you won't be able to show me what you've learned.

[Not odd? Cinnabar... hates everyone, it seems like. Mostly. He can't really judge against himself--everyone hates him. :')
Well, except for, like, Minato.]

That happens more than you think. Ah well. Does it really bother you what others think of you without getting to know who you truly are...?
I suppose they hate me also. I scared them, too. But I'm not sure anyone here hasn't.

[But not to make them like him.........]

He's glad to hear that; persistence is always admirable, to him. ]
I'm glad. I'll be rooting for you too.

[ What has Minato learned............... it's been two weeks and absolutely nothing. ]
