( He doesn't agree or disagree to performing for Hiyori with that one in particular— but that'll be a later occurrence. After all, they are here to make use of the songs available to them on this fancy little machine, right? Even if he doesn't know a single one, he figures he can learn things quickly enough with a listen or two.
It's continuing talk about Leo that gets him to snap out of his distracted daze, though. Glancing over, he's surprised to see Hiyori hold up papers, and he scoots closer to take a look, one hand held out as if he wants permission to hold them. Either way, he'll just look them over.
He can't understand a thing, of course, because he doesn't know how to read music like this. But he can recognize Leo's scribbling, and he can see his thought process in the way he writes each note, sometimes leaning, sometimes perfect, sometimes frantic... It's like he's still here. )
I don't think that's right. ( He doesn't speak Japanese, but he feels like the impression of a Swallow that carries across that translation isn't quite accurate. ) In any case, though... Since I've had others search for things, I never really looked through it myself. I had no idea it would have captured things like this...
[He must've just had birds on the brain. He's worried about his own birds, even though he knows people like Bakugo and Baizhu and Kleken will visit them in his absence. They're like children to him.
But back to the sheet music. He nods and confirms:]
Yep, you can find all kinds of stuff! I doubt I would've made it past the guards without that gift I have, but other people have their own methods. I know Reign-kun cast some kind of spell on the guards to make them all loopy, and then Loki-kun knows how to shapeshift and teleport. If you ever want in there, I'm sure he could help you out. Or you could use your own magic!
[Funny that Hiyori isn't offering to go in there with Esikko himself, though. Especially considering the gift he apparently has? But he continues to chatter away.]

Two people asked me to look for Rinne-senpai's stuff. One was searching for a gift he'd given him, and the other was looking for an engagement ring. Rinne-senpai had three different fiancés, apparently. Like Leo-kun, he must've "loved everyone." [Said with a fond smile.] It took over a month to find any of that stuff, and I was there almost every night, but I did recover those things. Then it took even longer to turn up anything of Leo-kun's, but at last, I found this music. And since it's you he was writing a song for, I think you should have them.
[He holds the sheet music out for the taking.]
