[ It's not like he minds the sidetracking. It's what he's used to from Kiraki. She always jumps straight ahead into something if she gets emotional - he's seen it often enough from when she got into fights when they were little kids, even if it was often just her dealing with some bullies. Happiness, anger, sadness - Kiraki just feels everything very quickly and intensely. Mamoru knows.

He likes it though, which is why he just smiles at her in return, putting his arm over her shoulders as she leans against his shoulder. It's pretty comfortable, just sitting here like this and listening to her prattle on about things in the Convent. Although he's at least making sure to actually listen; this is all important to her, so of course it's important to him too. ]

Still.. you sound like you learned a lot. And you seem like you're getting along pretty well with her by now because of it. [ Even though it can't have been easy, Kiraki - in her own way - helped someone who probably needed the help. Communicated with someone who didn't get the chance a whole lot.

His hand moves up a little to ruffle her hair lightly in their current position. ]

I'm proud of you.

[ But when isn't he, honestly? Kiraki's the best, even her impulsiveness is cute in its own way. And even if it can bring trouble along, well.. they'll just have to deal with that as it comes. ]
