[Kai's impassive stare is quite impressive. Ah, befitting of a cat-like ayakashi, Matoba muses, in the space of silence. His own stare back is as unblinking and perfectly serious, as though truly awaiting the reply to some extremely important, matter-of-fact declaration.]
[As it happens, Kai is not wrong with this most obvious of estimates. It's simply that even Matoba Seiji has biases.]
Hmmm.
[Is he being rejected right now? He's used to that sort of thing, given his blood, but the context is usually a little... different. No, but really, this wasn't that different at all, was it? A contemplation crosses his face as his mouth turns to a small frown, humming in response to the second assertion.]
[Yes, well. He will admit that much. When it comes to cats, he is predictable.]
[Unperturbed otherwise by the state of things, he meanders to the seat across from Kai and plops himself down into it, drawing his ankles up cross-legged in his sporty sweatpants while slipping off his sneakers to the side. Ideally, this would be getting comfortable and prepared to entertain some kitties, but the moment he entered the cafe, all the cats nearby had suddenly gone hackles-up and wandered to the other side of the room. Except Kai, of course.]
Have you ordered anything yet? Their cakes are quite delicious. [Said knowledgeably; he has... been here.]
