This doesnt seem like its going to be a very amorous conversation.

Kiri guessed, seeing Touyas somewhat tense expression.

Lets talk in the other room.

They stood up and left the sitting room. The structure of the long hallway they went down was a mystery as usual, but he was led to a room he had never been to before. It was a simple room with a bookshelf and a writing desk, it seemed to be Kiris room.

Come in.

He invited him in. Touya sat down on a cushion a little nervous. He was concerned about Kiris slightly exhausted face.

Are you busy with work, Kiri?

Aaha little. Dont worry about it.

He pat Touyas head like a good kid.

This is treating you like a child, isnt it?

Kiri took his hand away in a hurry.

Ah, no. Its all right.

Touya said, but when he remembered the foxs words, his lips twitched. He was so kind, so how could he be a tiger
