[ he has made tea once again, and there is once again a cup for her, if she wants it. This time, he's sitting on the edge of the bed (respectfully distant from whichever side she sleeps on, of course), and despite the fact that he was right today, he doesn't look satisfied. There's the fact that a bunch of people are going to die regardless of the successful investigation, of course. And on top of that... ]

... She was Cinderella. Well, this is off to a great start.

Well, right now, stop thinking about what might happen. The future is nothing but possibilities. But right now? It's what we got, so I want you to have as decent of a now as you can while stuck in this place.

[ it's simple. and like she said, she knows it won't make up for anything else. but hikage is depressing and she wants him to be less so. ]

[ thank you for trying to pull him out of his evanescence-filled existence, steph

it's hard for him not to make plans for what will happen or might happen; he's a perfectionist, and a bit of a control freak, and he wants to know exactly where everything lies on the table. His existence in the manor was a struggle for survival and answers; trying to stop and enjoy anything for too long would inevitably lead to his demise. This place, too, is full of danger - but it's danger sandwiched between long periods of peace, and with a future he doesn't know and can't plan for. Is he being foolish by not taking advantage of this opportunity? Surely, most dead would give anything for a chance to brush against life and the living one more time... ]

... You're a weird girl. [ a sigh. ] All right. I'll hold you to that, then. If I don't get killed again.

We are definitely going to do our best to make sure you stay not killed.

[ it kind of feels like a joke that he would be brought here only to die again. but tiger and dragon don't seem like the type to care about things like that. ]

But I won't let you down.
