[It's nice, at least, being able to more or less say "not gonna talk" and to have it met only with "okay". Lying by omission doesn't count in a situation like this either... Maybe one day Kaoru will tell a small part of the story, and it can count then.

As for the request, despite the lead-in, it doesn't seem to have been expected. Still - Kaoru's head cants to the side a little, and it's difficult to tell if there's anything but ambivalence for the question or gesture. Oona's always been touchy-feely, so that much isn't surprising, at least.]

Ah... Is that your fondness for pretty things speaking, Oona-san? Though I'm a little surprised that you would ask the second time rather than the first.
