Pleased that Saya seemed to have settled, turned toward the area that served as a kitchen where he set an old earthen teapot over a fire to heat. He added lemon to it and some herbs and honey, setting tea leaves in a sieve over one cup and leaving the other bare for Saya. Breathing in the soothing scent, he let it relax his body, though he didn't yet turn back to return to Saya's side. Instead, he raised his voice in order to be heard. "Are you truthfully not afraid of me now? You are a strange human, Saya. But..." He faltered on his words, sounding them out slowly in his mind until he knew they were true. "But I do not dislike it. I wonder if Asaka was like you when young. We never talked of it..." Trailing off, he watched the water heat in silence.
