Kaede scowled himself after E.v.a went to get the door. It was so unpleasant that someone, even an android of his own creation, could bring out such emotions in him. People exhausted him for this reason. And yet, as the silence settled down around him, he found his heartbeat too loud, the swirl of his constant thoughts needed something to hinge upon. Perhaps because E.v.a just resembled a human, he found her human-like qualities actually endearing.

"Is she coming back with those ingredients, though," he murmured, continuing his thoughts out loud. It had been at least a minute since she went to get the door. It left his feet already moving down the hall, crimson eyes narrowed with distaste. When he did find E.v.a, she stood there with the door still open, a young man with overgrown honey-colored hair staring with far too sharp of eyes.

"What's this, E.v.a? Didn't I tell you to come right back?" Kaede called out with a voice that almost boomed. He swept right up to the door and snatched the box away from the stranger, ignoring the tingle in his hands that came from nearly touching human flesh. "I think we've got this handled. You can hurry along your way now, greedy scoundrel."
