[Shiranui isn't so bad, it's true. Amagiri doesn't have so much against him, either, except that he can be a pain in the ass when he wants to be and when they should be fulfilling their debts so they can stop listening to crazy humans--but then, Shiranui has his own life, and his own problems. Amagiri can recognize that much, even if he doesn't really much like the trouble it causes.

But them, the strange ones...? The thought is amusing, even if not a lot of the amusement shows on his face. Because admittedly, they are the odd ones out, aren't they? He hadn't thought so, because it's so natural to act the way he does with his ancestor, but...]

...Perhaps we are at that.

[If they're the strange ones, better strange than right, he thinks. And it's clear Kazutake feels the same way--even said so outright, and honestly, it's the warmest feeling to receive that sort of praise. Grandpappy is too cute tbh. He thinks, around Kazutake, he could even, perhaps, let his guard down more.]

I...am certainly glad to have this time with you. [And he bows his head.] Your patience and guidance has been appreciated.

[Always.]
