[preowned]

[ also stops! ]

Wah.

[shaft]

Tsuru. [ turns to face him ] Do you need something?

[preowned]

Would you like a chat?

[shaft]

[ ...? ]

Sure. You want to get tea?

[preowned]

Oh! Yes, let's go.

[ he's going to usher for claude to follow him ]

[shaft]

[ Okay! They go off to the courtyard. ]

Were you hoping to scare me?

[preowned]

I wouldn't say scared is the right word for it...

[shaft]

Surprise...?

[preowned]

Surprise!

[ he just repeats it ]

[shaft]

You are pretty quiet.

[ tsuru ]

[preowned]

I have many years of practice.

[shaft]

Do you surprise Mikazuki like this too?

[preowned]

It's how I surprise everyone. No one gets special treatment.

[shaft]

Not even your partner?

[preowned]

Hm, not with this particular subject.

[shaft]

That's very equitable of you.

[preowned]

Oh, yeah. I am definitely known to be that.

[shaft]

Yeah? How else are you equitable?

[preowned]

In... ways.

[shaft]

[ Reaches over to pinch... his cheek. ]

[preowned]

[ he reaches out to grab his cheek too ]

[shaft]

What are you doing?

[preowned]

The same thing that you're doing.

[shaft]

Why?
