[Appearance's sake this, appearance's sake that - Kaoru is tired of having to do things for the sake of appearances, and yet, here he is! Dressed as a man at least, because he's shed that layer of deception (and it's not like it was a secret among the demons that the head of the Nagumo clan wasn't quite a perfectly delicate maiden, or much of a maiden at all), but having to plaster on a civil and presentable facade for a man he cared nothing for.

Well, at least he didn't really dislike Kazama any more than he dislikes everyone. That would make this even more difficult than it already is.]

Tosa extends our condolences, and we offer any support that's necessary during the grieving period.

[That's the official statement that he passes on to the family members of the bereaved; short and curt and to-the-point, but still polite, still fulfilling his duty to strengthen the network of demon support even though it's not like any of them had supported the Yukimura clan when it counted...!

Not that he's salty or anything.

And then, once he's done milling around and paying respects enough to be sick of it, he bumps into Sen, who certainly doesn't look grief-stricken. Solemn in a reserved sort of way that one might confuse for grief, but Kaoru knows better than that, of course.]

Ah— My condolences to you as well, Princess. I'd imagine this is a difficult period for you.
