Chikage smirked. “I think they do.”
She fell silent and serious for a moment. “Marion, despite wanting these two together I’m worried as a mother for Kaito. He’s … in a delicate state, and Hakuba-kun is just adding to his confusion. If Hakuba-kun does anything to destroy that already crumbling floor, I recommend you keep an eye on him personally.”
“You know there’s really only so much that I can do about him, Kage-chan, Saguru is incredibly stubborn in his own right, and does not like taking orders…"
All the same, she understood Chikage’s warning all too well, and its necessity. Frowning, she finished her tea, then set it back on the table. "But I can’t believe that he would ever do anything to hurt him… not willingly, not intentionally. He’s just not that sort of person, you know?”
