I have enough annoying people in my life already. I don't need more.

Sure. It should be fine if you slip into conversation naturally.
[RIP Hinata and Iwaizumi.]

[Luciola follows the words to their stuttering end.
You could.
It's.
I'm.
Sorry.
Despite his resignation, the fact that he feels words are, in this case, things without value nor power to soothe or comfort, he does recognize and appreciate the sentiment behind them. Despite not being comforted at all, he acknowledges the intent to comfort.
What did one say, to "sorry"? He didn't know, so he didn't address it, he let the silence carry itself until the end.]
If there is someone who desires to learn from me, I will do what I can.
["Freedom". Is that what this was?]

[Luciola didn't sound the most excited about it, but then,]
[given this conversation, their exchange, Luciola's entire range of displayed emotion (from the first view of the ocean to vocabulary with the solemnity of a death sentence)-- given all that,]
[he wouldn't call it shocking. just the same as had been implied by broken words, as was in the bow of his head as he stared at his shoes, hair falling to half-curtain his expression.]
... If you want, you can contact Shepard. Lydia Shepard. She runs a lot of the programs.
[head back up, no mumbling (but a lot more suggestions, it might've been too much too fast):]
How good's your agility? I'd teach you some acrobatics if you could teach me more hand-to-hand.

N-nooooooo!
[a wail stretching for the heavens, his hands immediately diverting from smacking at the floor to attempting (and failing) to reach behind him to bar her from-- from- aah-- ahhhahdnakjhahaha-]
[-- oh, god, he was going to die here. but he! refused! to cry Uncle cue trying to turn over again, though he might've just seemed like a fish flopping its last across land.]

[Information filed away. Lydia Shepard. Someone who apparently organized programs in which recruits learned from each other.
He has difficulty picturing himself in that role. Instructor.
Still. Hinata was not wrong when he determined that Luciola needed something. Something to fill the void left by a person who comprised almost his entire world.]
It is very good.
[Despite the words, there is little resembling bragging, or even pride, within his tone. Merely a statement. He had been genetically designed for physical combat, for speed, and strength. For obedience.]

Maybe you could teach me. [quick and smooth, fingers pulling once at his jacket's hem before forcibly stilling.] That isn't a course they have yet.
[a beat. the sentiment from before remains clear on his face, open as a book or a bleeding wound; it's equally apparent, however, that distractions added in the name of work was the best route he knew for taking care of the issue. for better or worse.]
[of course, it was Luciola's decision at the end.]
[... that probably made it worse.]
Lydia Shepard. [again. he moves to nab the other cupcake, head nodding.] If you want. She'd take care of you.

You instructed me in how to swim. It would be only fair for me to do so.
[It seemed more than reasonable. Not only would such instruction benefit Hinata on a personal level, but the team as well- and it would repay the other boy for his own efforts that he had made for Luciola.
Only fair. Appropriate.
Something to do.
And even knowing what the expression meant, Luciola's facial expression changed just slightly, brows drawn a millimeter closer, gaze flicking down a mere half a second.]
It is not being cared for that I require.
[It was taking care of, not being.]

[he wasn't too sure about that assertion-- not with the display of seeking out an assignment, whether or not it resulted in delicious cupcakes, or how he spoke of the time after dismissal.]
[still. Hinata took a step back, at last taking another bite out of his cupcake.]
It's part of a saying! [as well as being true - as far as he knew, Shepard could take care of anyone, regardless of if they knew or appreciated it.] Like how you took care of baking these cupcakes.
Thanks again for them, by the way. I think I'm going to head out, but... [ah. end on a good (fortuitous?) note.] ... If you have any extras, I wouldn't mind taking them off your hands.
[a beat, and -]
Take care, Luciola.

Take care, Luciola.
[To take care of. To be taken care of. Semantics that to Luciola were altogether too important.
Yet not to the point that he would argue it further, instead listening to the explanation, accepting it with a slight bow of his head.
A hand reached out, plucked another cupcake from the plate and held it out for Hinata to take. One of his own portion- it would normally be offered to Dio on principle to see if he displayed any interest, but this had been an assignment for Orange.
And after seeing the ingredients...]
Take care.
[A different way to say farewell.]
