Kenichi watched the moogle flutter out of the room. No sooner had Bonnie gone, one of the fox spirit servants came in using magic to levitate a tray with a tea pot, two cups, and a plate of baked yatsuhashi. The smell of cinnamon wafted through the air from the crispy cookie-like sweets as Kenichi grabbed the tray and placed it on the table. Thankfully Mary would be spared from the traditional and formal tea ceremony. He first poured Mary's cup of green tea and placed in front of her.
"Ah, yes, Saori's told me quite a bit about you and the Assassins. It's still hard to believe this is all going down now and how much this is affecting our worlds." By some luck, the Saori in this timeline was off on a big assignment and wouldn't be coming home any time soon.
"My arrangement with Saori may seem odd, or heretical for some, but we have our reasons. Longer life spans mean finding new ways to spice things up, some times we're away for long periods of time, and Saori's just the type who wants to give her love to those she treasures the most. It's not like we just pick up others by whim. There's a certain level of trust that needs to be achieved before we let someone in. So if she trusts you, then I can as well." Of course he knew he could trust on his wife's taste in partners but he stopped himself short of suggesting some things. After all, Mary wasn't their only guests here.
He paused to pour his own cup and he looked up at Mary when he was done.
"I do want to say thank you for taking care of her. I don't know why I wasn't sent to Crystallis as well, but she's the best anyone could ask for but you also know she tends to push herself too hard and recklessly sometimes. As her husband, I can only ask you continue to be there for her when you two have to go back."
