[ Tokiya appears to consider this for a moment. He isn't opposed to showing off, but there could be a chance of blowing his metaphorical cover. However, a quick glance around revealed that the street is mostly empty, so it should be fine. ]
Very well. Listen carefully.
[ He closes his eyes and inhales, relaxing slightly so he could project his voice more accurately. What he sings is an acapella rendition of his most recent song - even without accompaniment, it is something impressive in its delicacy and tonal variation. The only thing that marred his whole performance is that it sounded just so ever slightly repressed. ]
[ Kotori didn't expect him to actually agree and sing right here, but she would definitely listen, nevertheless! And it was true, his voice was something amazing--nothing like she had ever heard before. Her face brightened up and she was smiling sweetly as he kept on singing.
This was what a professionally trained voice sounded like.... Sure, she had heard Maki sing and she had clearly had some kind of training before, but Tokiya had clearly been singing his whole life and that amazed Kotori. She was so impressed and the minute he stopped singing, she started clapping and smiling even more. ]
That was sooo wonderful!!! Ichinose-san, your singing is so nice--ah! Thank you for sharing!! That is such a nice song!!
[ For the first time in their conversation, he allows himself a small smile - confident, of course. His work is always perfect.
Or so he hopes. ]
If you work hard, you may be at my level someday.
[ And yet, he says it with a hint of fondness. He hasn't sang for individuals in a very long time, and hearing their compliments always made him feel a little better. ]
Y-Yes! I hope so! But you're really good so I doubt I will be able to be as good as you someday!
[ She really did mean that even though she giggled after speaking, though she wasn't sure if that was a compliment or not. Something about his tone made her think that it was a compliment or...something like that. ]
Thank you again for sharing. I really enjoyed hearing your voice--but ah...I won't keep you if you need to go!
[ She will take that expression as a good thing since he did seem to have lightened up a bit just during their conversation! Kotori nodded happily as she was glad to hear that she would see him again since he seemed really nice! Maybe he would even join the music club! ]
Okay! I'll get back to practicing--and I will see you at the concert, Ichinose-san!
[ She would offer him a wave whenever he actually did start to walk off. ]

We will meet again, I'm sure.
[ Accepting the compliment without much by way of obvious thanks - because it's true. He is good, and he worked so very hard for it. ]

Take care.
[ With a nod, he's off as well. ]
