[The child, stuck dealing with one person who doesn't know how to interact with children and one person who talks like he's still in the 1800s, is just standing there like ??? for a second before laughing for lack of any other way to react to this, really. But!! After a second, they'll hoist the lantern overhead, beaming up at both Matsui and Hayame in turn.]
Yeah, okay - thanks! Don't forget that you gotta light one too, okay? See ya!
[And with that, the kid goes scampering off to join a little gaggle of other kids waiting off near a bridge, which they crest over and vanish behind.
Matsui turns to Hayame after they're gone, and though there's no judgment in his tone or expression, there's the barest twinkle of amusement in his eye.]
I take it that you do not interact often with children. You'll have several more to deal with, but none of them are a handful.
