[When the silence stretches for a while Keirean coughs lightly.]

I apologize, that was perhaps prying.

[ehnnui]

Yes, but...

I don't want to put you off, mostly.

[goodknightdaddy]

[??]

Is it that strange?

[ehnnui]

...

It's you.

[goodknightdaddy]

....




What?

[His face is blank because what]

[ehnnui]

[welp it's over]

As I said.

[goodknightdaddy]

[This very hot older man doesn't look repulsed but there is a line between his brows in just sheer confusion.]

Why do I matter so much to you?

[ehnnui]

...That one I can't explain.

[goodknightdaddy]

[He still doesn't get that the feelings are romantic. But he doesn't think Kamukura is lying to flatter him or anything. He looks too miserable, even if that answer is so... suspicious.]

Am... I perhaps you reason you've become a knight?

[ehnnui]

You are.

[goodknightdaddy]

I see... then I'm glad.

[ehnnui]

...I know. That it's probably creepy.

[goodknightdaddy]

Why should it be creepy?

[ehnnui]

It... isn't as though you know me, right?

[goodknightdaddy]

It isn't. And I am curious why I mean so much to you.

[It's hard to say "but a lot of young people look up to me as a hero or knights wish to join me because they admire me" without sounding.... well. Even though he's a stoic hardass he still has some fans. Enough not to be put off behind his surprise. And he still hasn't figured out it's more than just "admire".]

But.... well. Don't worry about it.

[ehnnui]

Then...

[hesitates, but, fuck it.]

Will you pat my head?

[goodknightdaddy]

[Surprised again but not as much, he lifts his hand and pats Kamukura's head gently. He refrains from mentioning his daughter likes it too.]

....

[ehnnui]

[he sighs and relaxes into it, letting his eyes close.]

You really are very good.

[goodknightdaddy]

[He doesn't refute that though he thinks about his own life. He's done things he's regretted too.]

Don't idealize me too much.

[ehnnui]

You're only human. I know. I don't think you perfect.

[goodknightdaddy]

As long as we're clear.

[He does keep patting the younger man's head, almost absent reflex.]

[ehnnui]

I want you as a person. Not an ideal to chase.

[goodknightdaddy]

[As a person? What an odd...]

How do you mean?

[ehnnui]

Wasn't I rather blunt...?

[goodknightdaddy]

[His shoulders stiffen and his hand goes still. There's only one thing he can think of but he can't fathom why.]
