[Though Kaz's sudden snapping at him does surprise him, Minato's lack of any kind of reaction to the outburst isn't quite indicative of what he feels about it, choosing not to say anything until Kaz is turned away.
The claws seem like a sensitive issue he's pressed on, and while Minato was someone who could press on regardless of the opinions his friends had it certainly doesn't feel right to keep forcing the matter, not when it's clear that Kaz won't benefit from it at all.
what Kaz needs now is someone who will trust him, and that's exactly what Minato does after allowing himself a deep breath, with a faint smile lighting up his face. He pretends not to notice the repetition and the hidden hands, telling himself that he'll be there if Kaz should need actual intervention.] It's okay...then I'll leave it to you, Kaz. [Pause.] Your treat or mine? The cake, I mean.
