[It's amazing how quiet someone can be when they don't need to step foot on the ground.
But also, he was lucky he opened his eyes then because while Kaoru wants to be thoughtful she's also incredibly impatient. She was already idly juggling pebbles in the air over her head and at any moment she could have started (gently) tossing them at him.
But well, that didn't happen and she'll never admit that she would have done something like that so!
Worry from adults shouldn't catch her so off guard, she thinks. Especially not after being here for so many months already. Still, she's used to all the adults around her believing that she was stronger than most threats (even Minamoto, who did worry about them often, had faith in them enough to not worry so often). When she was younger and determined to be strong, she would have been a mix of embarrassed and annoyed.
But after a brief second of surprise, she just smiled.]
I'm glad you're safe too and didn't get carried off by a bear or something.
