[The restraint was appreciated, too. Kuro didn't want anyone seeking Salvador out-- not now, not yet. Not until they had to.
Ideally, the man would never find out where Gershom lived. But if they approached him without a plan, he could follow them back.
But when Mahiru says all that so plainly... He can't deny how warm and happy that makes him feel. That anger, that care, it was...]
You said it yourself, right? It's the both of us. I'm... I'm glad you're here, too.
[Except.. there's a flush to his cheeks, almost akin to a blush. It's not something Kuro is usually capable of, but Kizuna can be extra embarrassing in a lot of ways.
....Especially since when he ducks his head in an attempt to hide it, it only means Mahiru can better see the feline ears that have appeared on his head.
[ Having his own words spoken back to him should sound strange, and yet it was in it's entirety, rather comforting. It showed how much of an impact it'd had on Kuro and the reaffirmation of what they were. Not separate or alone anymore. They were in this together.
Just hearing his companion - and friend - say that AND admit something like that though? It was enough to make his chest feel warm, though a look of surprise crossed his face for a brief moment. Not that he minded such honesty, but more that Mahiru had to make sure he wasn't just seeing things right now.
Was... Kuro blushing? Then there were the uh.... ears. ]
You're right. It's both of us now and neither one has to deal with things alone.
[ A pause. He can't entirely resist what follows though, those ears and the blush from before super distracting. Mahiru reached up with one hand to touch one of the ears, to see if he was imagining them or not. ]

Is this what Kizuna's capable of?
