[Kuroo secretly confides in him that he'd accidentally wrecked a pot trying to teach his staff volleyball in the castle -- to great disaster. This above all is probably what made Akiteru soften up a little.]
[This is where Kuroo truly shines, because his strength is being able to use his weakness to endear himself to those who have walls against him. He praises the food and recounts his first Terran food -- omurice and strawberries -- and mentions an awkward time in his castle when his staff had brought a jackfruit on board and no one knew what to do with it. He stays away from the grimmer Versian stories that might relate to the war, or the war in general. Barely even mentions his time as a prisoner. Kuroo's dressed down, too, removed his coat and cravat so he's not so formal in what appears to be a comfortable environment.]
