“That’s nice.” he mumble then froze. Half way through a gulp he choked and nearly spewed. “WAIT!! Did you just say seven hundred dollars?”
He paled. Holy crap, Jii. Why did he have that mixed in with the others? Were all the wine that expensive? Well at least he didn’t have to worry any more about it being insulting. Hands shaking he set down the silverware and stood with an easy smile.
“You mind if I use your restroom? No, okay.” He asked then answered for himself and quickly walked out of the room.
Blink blink.
“Ah…” Hakuba stood up to follow, but with Kaito already hurrying on his way, he sat back and frowned. What had he said? Was it the price? Was it Jii? Was it… what was it???
He looked at his food, picture perfect in its presentation and tilted his head, reaching for his fork. There was no desire to eat, but he pushed it around on his plate to burn at least a little bit of his anxious energy.
Out in the hallway, a servant asked if Kaito needed anything, but it seemed clear that he knew where he was going already.
