[SCORE FOR KAORU. That shit's always hilarious, he lives on the venom of people that he needles...
But he'll follow along without issue and point the way to the teahouse easily, since he's been here many, many times before and knows his way like the back of his hand. Once they're all settled in and seated, he turns his attention to her fully, hands folded neatly in his lap. There's no fiddling going on here, if only because Kaoru's mastered pretty much every aspect of outward presentation over the years and can usually controle himself to a ridiculously fine degree.
At her leading question, his head dips briefly.]
That's certainly one way to word it.
[And then his smile grows, and while it's very pretty and well-crafted to look as elegant as possible, there's something unpleasant and sharp there, too.]
It seems there's always work to be done... Though I knew I would be taking on much more when I accepted my new position, of course.
