It is a name meaning 'crescent moon'.... and it is the one most familiar to me, so to hear it on your tongue is rather soothing.
[so it's not like he's going to reject it?]
Mm, the bonds between people are rather powerful. I hope you'll join me in the endeavors of keeping his spirits lifted, moving forward. It is a job I believe only you and a few others are capable of.
I would say so. I think it's charming, at times. Even so, I am quite happy to have the chance to be more myself in times like these.
[being so business-y in front of others isn't really mikazuki's style, but he knows he's gotta provide answers too instead of just being a flighty grandpa]
I had a feeling there was no need.
Even so, I had to make the request. It is also one of my responsibilities and greatest joys to care after him, after all.
... I have heard some matters. Perhaps that is why I would like to encourage others to be kinder to him, to make up for the trouble that might wander his way.
You can if you want, but no, it's a saying. All that stuff-- insults, criticisms-- it runs off you like water off a duck's back. 'Cause ducks can't get wet.
Perhaps so - I am still learning to decipher the ways in which humans will express the emotions they feel.
But even so, even if it is their displeasure, it is my responsibility to answer. I would only hope they would sooner take out their frustrations on myself than the young one.

[there is a frown at that as mikazuki just looks concerned]
Hmm... I wonder - how may I change my countenance to make myself an easier target?
[he's
serious]
no subject
It's 'cause he's got a temper. He's reactive an' defensive. It's obvious he's affected when people take it out on him. You're like... a duck's back.

Am I being insulted? Is this already a test...? [hmmMMMM] Am I meant to respond irritatedly?

[next on mikazuki's to do list: hang out with some ducks

In truth, many people are quite kind to me even here. I do not believe that I have had much reason to be offended to begin with.
[or if they? acted aggressively? he might not have realized?]

I think you just haven't noticed when people have been mad at you.
