[He removes the hand from her head to wiggle his fingers a bit teasingly her way, aimed straight at her glasses.]
Ooooh~? But it worked so well before...!
[Not that he knew of Nene's threats during their Night Terror battle-- but then, maybe it spoke to how much they matched their respective freaks that she even had the same idea to begin with!
His hands drop a little as his expression sobers up in turn, the rest of what she had said finally catching up with him. It wasn't as if he had been furious with her over what she did-- he'd be a hypocrite if he was-- but...]
... I'll be honest though, I can't say it didn't hurt a little to know you were dealing with all of this on your own. I mean... I'm supposed to be your Mentor, y'know? You were always a fast learner and a super dedicated Dreamer, so I sorta... stepped back and didn't fuss as much over you, since I thought you had it all under control.
[Or more under control than Nene did, anyway, although he can't deny that Junna seemed to teach herself more than he ever taught her...]
But if I would've just paid more attention and saw how much you were really pushing yourself... I could've tried to get you to chill out a bit, at least. Our Dreamer duties are important, but so's taking a break once in a while, too. We can't fight at full power if we don't recharge our batteries once in a while, right?
[A pause, as he's trying to figure out where he's going with all of this--]
... I just don't want you to think you need to be anything more than the Junna-san you already are-- at least not for my sake.
