[Naw, this works out. It means Midorima won't be disgusted or afraid of hanging out with him.
Unfortunately he can't say the same for everyone who'll hear his last name from Midorima. So, he'll just change the topic and keep moving toward the display of tuning forks.]
I wonder if they have an estimated time for how long this will last? They've disrupted a lot of lives.
[ Not just his. But also definitely his. Athletes have a limited time frame to build their careers, after all. It isn't a career that ages well. Midorima finds on and taps it to make certain that it's correct by ear. ]
They have, indeed. [Although his life is probably less disrupted considering that the world was safe again when he was sent back to this planet, and that he's, well, a dead man from history living on borrowed time.
But his borrowed time was really looking up lately.] It would've been easier if they brought only those who wanted to come to a place like this.
I'm sure there would've been plenty of volunteers.
[ Though, to be honest, there are people he would've missed out on if he hadn't had this chance. But there are people he's missing out on now because he's here, too. It's difficult and he's not going to admit to either. So he'll focus on career excuses.
He tries two more forks before deciding which one he likes best. ]
[ Well, that is until he gets to the counter and sees a keychain of a dog with a piano afro. He puts it on the counter with his tuning fork and looks down at Sanson as if waiting for the man to challenge his tastes. Don't do it bro. ]
[Luckily for Midorima, Sanson says absolutely nothing about the dog keychain and keeps a straight face. Judging people's tastes is not something he likes to do in his spare time.
Instead, he turns to look at the display of keychains.]
Yes, but this one seems like it would have the most potential for luck.
[ It's got a lot of colors and quirks and it's cute, which means it can cover more categories in terms of luck. If only there were an oversized one.. ]
Not as far as I am aware. However, this keychain has a large number of characteristics that could be utilized for a number of lucky items: keychain, a variety of colors, particular hairstyles, something small and cute, something soft, a plush toy, a canine, and more.
[ In other words, the more aspects it covers, the more likely it is he can use it as his lucky item. ]
I see. [He nods slowly.] That's quite fascinating. [A lot of other items could fit those descriptions, but there are not many of those here at a music shop.]
Anyway, if you don't mind, I'd like to practice with you sometime. It might help, having an accompanist.
[ He may be more open about it when he realizes that this person knows Weiss, or they speak more. He won't completely shut him out. ]
If you have questions, I may respond to them over text.
[ Because knowing other musicians isn't.. bad. Even if he isn't willing to like, accompany everyone who asks. But he's offering his number if Sanson wants it. ]

Have you been here long?

[ Once he spots the tuning forks, he seems a little more confident in his direction, but he notably keeps at Sanson's pace despite his longer legs. ]
I never expected it would be this long.
no subject
[In short, he arrived at the same time as Weiss. And while he was able to return home once, it was something he had no control over.]

That one sounds clearer to me. What do you think?
no subject
That's the same one I was intent on picking already.

[Just in case Midorima saw anything else that caught his fancy.]

They have quite the variety.

[ And Midorima is the opposite of friendly. ]
no subject
All right, in that case I'll take my leave.
[Midorima knows his name and that he's musically inclined to some extent, but not much else.]

[He nods. Although he may not contact Midorima until they know each other better. While he considered playing the Weiss card, he'd really rather not.]
no subject
Practice hard or I won't bother.
[ Once he's paid and got a little bag for his tuning fork, he heads off to leave. ]
no subject
[What kind of rusty violinist would he be if he didn't practice?]
