He blinked a few times, amazed at the boy's words before it sank into him. While the mood was happy, there was a part in Kiri that seemed to feel saddened. Why was he in need of protecting? Didn't he aim to be stronger in order to avoid this? Ah, but isn't that why he was defeated? That only meant he was still that useless kid. His brows furrowed for a moment before he looked away and focus on his food just so he wouldn't allow for more concern. And with Mizu joining them, he would occasionally divert his attention and pet the otter.
After a while, he would take a pause from eating. It suddenly occurred to him that he didn't know what to do at that point. He had lived life on a busy schedule, more so when he became Osu's student and an intern in the village hospital, that he came to a realization that he didn't know how to interact with people outside from it. Such a sad story.
So he quickly worked through his memory and tried to remember how things were supposed to go. And as he cleared his throat, he would look at Kiri and say, "So... uh... What are you up to lately?"
