[ the wording is deliberate; she has come to realize that kisame never does anything without purpose, and naturally it would extend to his speech as well. it fits, given what she knows of him, though not for the first time she wonders what happened to him in the past. she had lost so much in her life, but she was fortunate enough to have had her sisters and the girls at the estate. she would not and could not abandon them.
the possibility that he didn't have anything like that saddens her. she's glad that they haven't triggered the empathy bond yet in this moment. ]
Gyokuro. [ her smile turns a little wry. ] You could say I have a bit of a sweet tooth.
[ she draws away from kisame when they reach the shop to step up to the front counter and greet the server. they're lucky enough to carry both of those types of tea and shinobu orders both for them before kisame can offer to pay. hopefully, he won't mind. ]
three weeks later..... whew
