With her eyes closed, Shizu took a sip of her tea, her lips touching the rim of the tea cup before setting it down on the table below. When her head perked up ever so slightly, she made a friendly stare at Kei with a smile. "I'm sure our girls will appreciate it. It's not very often one compliments them~" Picking up her tea cup again, Shizu eyed Seto from the corner of one eye. Hearing her voice aimed towards him, he froze momentarily in place. He rose an eyebrow before tilting his head in her direction, a skewer in hand, now void of any delicious meat that was once there. "What? Don't look at me like that. I always show gratitude." He than turned away, tilting his head ever so slightly in the opposite direction. For a few moments, there was only silence. "Ok, look...we both know I was....different when I was Kei's age. Lets not try and mix up the two shall we?" After a few more moments, he returned to his regular posture before he placed down the skewer on one of the empty plates littering the table. He made a heavy sigh, with air escaping his lips before he turned back to the long table sitting before him, it still containing a large amount of food. He thought to dig in more, given his stomach was still reeling in to go. "Believe me, I'm thankful for any kind of real food nowadays, especially after fighting that Daiyoukai~" With a faint smirk now formed on his face, he nearly began drooling once again before composing himself. He had to remain an adult figure to some extent while Kei was present, even If he couldn't compete with Shizu in the room with them. Speaking of Kei, with his apprentice now on his mind, he tilted his head over his shoulder and peered over at him, who was clearly comfortable just as much as he was satisfied. He wondered IF he was still hungry, but than he remembered he was still growing like himself. A man gotta eat right? "Someone looks satisfied. Well, feel free to dig in if you want more. Don't wanna it goto waste do we?~" With a soft chuckle, he kept his sight on Kei for brief moment later before he turned his attention to the Kitsunes. Izumai was still eating from the same bowel of rice, and so was Azumai with her cake....or was it the second one? He was gonna raise a eyebrow again, but he knew better given her need for sugar...
