[Good lord, what a fickle child. Kaoru's picking up quickly on the fact that "hard to please" may be wording things lightly in his case, even though the expression presented doesn't have an inkling of the a-ha moment going on behind the scenes. People like that are so tiresome, but all things considered, Elliot hasn't demanded nearly as much as most of the others who fall into the same category. It's good enough for now.]

Perhaps that holds true for some people, or in some worlds.

[It's agreement without actually budging at all. There's just a difference of opinion here: clearly there's something about the spiritual realm that Elliot finds much more important than Kaoru does. Is it surprising? ...Not quite, honestly.

The hand that Kaoru had raised earlier had settled back against the teacup just as quickly, and one finger now rests against the thinnest curve of its handle.]

If it's of greater consequence in your own world, then it would make sense to pay it mind, correct? Or if it held personal significance, I suppose... It simply doesn't to me.
