That makes us happy. [ Because people liking Poko is a good thing, and if Poko is happy he is happy. (In turn, Poko is happy if Kagemitsu is happy.) He'll let her cuddle Poko for now - Poko seems very comfortable, anyway, and the animal knows to tell when there's enough of the petting. ]

Yeah. It's not as important in my culture but to me it's definitely important, so I sort of know how you feel. [ He adds the "sort of" because it's not like he knows exactly how she feels about it. ]
