[ Midorima's eyes don't sparkle, nor does he look excited. He looks stern, but... in some ways, his gaze softens a little. It's rare for someone to find excitement in the same things he does. More often than not he gets odd looks or people try to tell him it's fake, or whatever. He ignores them and does his own thing, as always. But when he finds someone who closely follows horoscopes and lucky items, he can't help but be a little taken aback. ]

I follow the Oha Asa horoscope. There are no predictions more accurate, though I've found blood typing to be a useful indicator of personality compatibility as well.

[ Yes, he uses the nickname for Ohayou Asahi's horoscopes. He watches them religiously and gets every single lucky item Oha Asa prescribes every single day. He won't say without fail, because sometimes they are very much impossibilities and twice, he was unable to learn the identity of his lucky item until much later in the day and at near-great cost. He pushes up his glasses, certainly seeming more amenable to conversation than he has been the entire time up until now.

He supposes he can share with him what he does have with him in his school bag. Midorima unzips it and reaches in to pull out a rolling pencil. ]

This pencil is made from wood from the Yushima Tenjin shrine and blessed for academic success. Though it's foolish to rely on luck alone for matters of academics, it's certainly useful in a pinch. It is currently the only lucky item I have with me.

[ He puts the pencil back in his pencil case, then back in his bag, then offers his left hand. His fingers are each meticulously taped with athletic tape, as if expertly cared for. ]

Midorima Shintarou. Cancer, blood type B.

[ This is clearly pertinent information to this man, who is clearly as hard-up for luck as he is right now. ]
