Mmm. Good... [Even as soft as a whisper is still enough to quell the waves of insecure desperation beating at his heart. He's not co-dependent HE'S NOT! but there's no getting around the fact she is the emotional equivalent of a lifeline for him here.
He no longer needs to keep his feelings under wraps like he used to (good thing that was him being subtle, huh...) or mask it behind grand overtures that nobody could take seriously. Instead he can be honest and open, getting her to laugh like she is now and making him smile.
He's no doctor, but he does know about running oneself ragged. He's done it so many times over the years in a desperate attempt to be remembered, to make money, to feel a glimmer of appreciation from someone... That's why taking Hiyori to the hot springs sounds like a good idea. But...]
Yeah. The old couple running the one outside of town has been having trouble with some kaiju apes, and the feral cat colony's in trouble, too. All in all it sounds like a rough time.
[One they should be praying to HIM for, hmph! Oh well.]
