[ There's a moment where Kazutake - with only slight surprise in his expression, he's rather in control of his emotions thanks to the Amagiri family trait, after all - just stares at the other for a moment. Apparently he just plainly didn't see that question coming. But if he thinks it's strange to ask if, he doesn't mention it. Instead his expression shifts into an only slightly awkward smile, letting a small chuckle escape his lips. ]

Not in particular. [ Nothing that would be worth waiting for him on, anyway. No, his reason for waiting is so different than needing anything from his descendant that it's almost comical, really, although he's not one to downright laugh at him for it. Even if certain other demons he knows might have. ]

I merely wanted to make sure you would make it back here safely. [ Not that he doesn't trust his fighting skills, because if anyone is a descendant of his, then they practically have fists of fury by default, but-- ] You have been working hard lately. I suppose I was slightly worried they might keep you there for even longer.

[ And that wouldn't do, okay.. he's certainly proud of his grandchild, that's not the issue, but humans abusing their service rubs Kazutake the wrong way. Especially since (from what he's seen when he's actually gone out there) the Satsuma aren't exactly Mitsunari material.

He raises a hand as a gesture to call the other into the village-camp to try and find a more quiet place to talk. ]

I am glad to see you have returned well, however.
