Ignoring the first half he decided he’d go back to it when he felt things were fully settled and at the moment he still didn’t really feel like things were. 

“You misunderstood what I was trying to say. I was trying to point out that you were trying to change the subject because you were talking about something that you’d rather not. I’ve done it before, so it’s easy for me to see when someone else is doing it. Plus as I said I can see you’re upset. But if that’s how you wanna handle it, that’s fine too. It’s not my place to push. And you act as if I’m some social expert myself. I talk to people when I got to and it’s mainly usually work related. It’s more an adaptive thing." 

After saying what he wanted to say he figured he’d give her what she wanted and go back to another subject. “So now, I agree it’s good to be diverse in music. Though I’d really rather just stick to what I like. Give me my rock and jazz any day and I’ll be happy. Though I often get stuck listening to things that are out of that. It’s ok too.”

Yuriko didn’t know what to say to her brother-in-law. Would a tsundere noise be socially acceptable in this case for her? The brunette did notice that there were times she did forget the silverette also could relate with her on their social predicaments. Huh, clever, clever. She cleared her throat to get out her opinion. "Never took you for one trying to empathize, but thank you for not pressing. I see,” she noted to use the technique when out and about.

After that, he changed the subject cleverly. She could see how he avoided conversation easily. Huh, turns out he wasn’t just a spiky-haired punk asshat. “Jazz…? I never took you to be a jazz type of person, Ranmaru-kun.” With that being said, she imagined him trying to be like his kouhai Ren using a saxophone and suppressed a chortle. “I like to change it up, but I have a routine with what music I listen to depending on the time of day.”
