[ That tugs a smile out of him. It was so weird to actually be called by honorifics again. It's been over a year... He wont push it, however, if she feels more comfortable with them, he'll definitely let her call him by whatever she wants. ]

Got it, yo! It's jus' been a while since anyone's bothered. I'll call you Kaede-chan if it makes you happier!

[ He turns to look at the open hole on his shoulder. At least it's not showing anything creepy. ] Hrm... usually I'd close it up by shifting the rocks around on it, but I can't seem to control them anymore. It should be fine, if worse comes to worse and it needs to be closed off, I'll think of somethin'.

[ She doesn't need to know what he'll do. ]

Heh... tonight's been wild, thanks fer that. [ A wide grin offered up to soften the tease. ]
