“Sounds great, just lead the way.” Kaito continued to smile and stepped out the dinning room.
There were wine glasses in the parlor, so Hakuba left everything at the table as it was and led Kaito down the hallway. Baaya, surprised at the development, gave Hakuba a curious glance from where she stood at the entrance to the kitchen.
“Young master?”
With an awkward chuckle, Hakuba lowered his head in guilt and forced a little smile. “Incident. Kuroba-kun’s discovered my, ah, anxiety, so we’re… ah, taking a break. Could you…?”
She sighed. “Of course. I’ll have it cleaned up right away. Just let me know when you get hungry enough."
Of course Baaya would understand. Hakuba nodded, bowing. "Thank you, Baaya. We’ll be in the parlor.”
“Understood.”
Hakuba looked to Kaito with a small and hopeful grin, then continued on down the large hallway.
