He mouthed at Hamuko as he watched her giggle away while he was...quite literally being whisked away. Goddamnit-
he turned to Maruki, jaw tight, expression unreadable but definitely unimpressed.
"All right, doc. Lead the way."
Maruki blinked, lips parted slightly in surprise. "Ah... of course. Thank you."
He glanced once more between Zenkichi’s stiff posture and the oddly specific wording—a matter between adults?—but said nothing. Just clasped his hands in front of him like a polite teacher.
Zenkichi followed, tucking his hands into the large sleeves of his yukata and muttering under his breath, "This better not be about the blanket."
Maruki: "I, ah... wasn’t planning on it. But now that you mention it—"
Zenkichi shot him a look. Maruki wisely left the joke unfinished.
