[ Alright, he'll relent — even if that much feels a little bit more vulnerable than he would like. It's not the naming names that's the hard part, it's the...explaining why.
But, well. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. ]
I may continue to be swayed but the discussion, but at the moment, I'm thinking of Mister Nico, Mister Verso...and you, Miss Maya.
Given the amount of information we have [ not much ... ] that may not be the worst decision. Would you roll a dice, or simply close your eyes and pick someone?
I'll ask Mister Wei next time I see him around. We'll only need to assign each of our friends to a number, and the rest will be left to the whims of chance.
Perfect! Alphabetical order might be best, then? Miss Furina would be first, followed by ... ah, you, who we'd omit! Then Mr. Luka, and Edamura-san, and so on and so forth. On second thought, two 8-sided dice would mean this works out perfectly. Maybe it was meant to be!
But given the nature of this game, it's probably wise to have backup options available. It wouldn't feel like good television to have you rolling dice over and over on stage, would it? So -- did you have any other thoughts on your prospective matches, Mr. Kakavasha?
[ He stiffens just slightly — ah. He hadn't clarified his name with Rom yet, had he? An oversight on his part. ]
Aventurine, if you don't mind. That's not a name I'm really known by anymore. [ By anyone. This is how he knows the producers went poking their noses where they didn't belong. ] But — I do have a few people in mind that I'd like to test my compatibility with. I've spent a fair amount of time getting to know Miss Maya, Mister Verso and Mister Nico, so I'll start there.

Okay, so three of the most charming people here, got it--

Well, that goes without saying. It's not easy to catch my eye. I wouldn't be here otherwise, haha.

[ why couldn't he just answer normally ]

Perhaps we can ask our dear overseer for some dice, then. Two 8-sided dice should work, yes? A 16 would simply have you roll again.

[ In theory, anyway. ]

As a backup, of course.
