Re: After he and Jedao return from Saiyukiverse

Who knows means no, and Hakkai does understand that. He inclines his head.

"Of course," he murmurs. "I don't want to bore you by repeating myself, either."

The changes that Sebastian has made are indeed considerable, and Hakkai isn't about to change his mind on that. But he'll respect Sebastian's request to let it lie for now.

...What in the world. It's only been a couple of days, and still it's almost a relief to once again speak to a person who understands unspoken things. How ridiculous.

"Indeed; how tedious that would be on both accounts."

A pause.

"Thank you very much for the tea. I presume you have catching up to do with others today as well?"

"A little," Hakkai admits, and smiles at Sebastian genuinely, the corners of his eyes creasing in a way he deliberately doesn't bother with for his placeholder politeness. "But you were my first priority. Thank you for coming by.

"And... I think we may as well meet here from now on, don't you? If you don't mind that Jedao may walk by."

Needless to say, the genuineness of the smile doesn't go unnoticed.

"I would not mind; I like Instructor Jedao."

Now, if Sebastian ever feels the urge to kill Hakkai again, perhaps having Jedao around would not be ideal... but he supposes they can sort that out when the time comes. Sebastian rises, and offers a hand to shake. Yes, he knows it's not the custom where Hakkai is from, and Sebastian himself tends to favour bowing as well, but surely Hakkai's been on the Barge long enough to recognise a handshake for what it is.

"Thank you for having me, sir."

The custom still isn't natural to Hakkai, but it's hardly unknown; he reaches out to clasp Sebastian's hand with only a little awkwardness.

"Thank you for coming," he says softly.
