[ Kei walks about one-two steps behind her, but mostly keeps up with her pace. His expression clouded as he watches her back as they go. ]
Indeed, I'm relieved it lasted only a few seconds. [ His shoulders drop as he lets out a single sigh. ] And I suppose that is true. Did you have that sort of reaction the first time that you received your memories, then? [ With her saying that she's not going to get used to them, it doesn't bode well for the future. ]
I hope... it was not an unpleasant set of memories that came back to you. [ Is there something in his own actions that is inherently vicious? He doesn't think so. His own actions, as he views them, lack any sort of malice. But his actions also lack any sort of true goodwill. If anything, since they're devoid of either, he merely makes sure his gestures convey a "good feeling." Like a puppeteer gives feeling to a puppet's movements and words while the puppet itself is indifferent.
Kara's smart enough to notice that he's emotionally devoid, at least. But it isn't like he doesn't feel anything. His feelings merely are so esoteric to others save a few. In short, there is always a sharp disconnect for Kei between his thoughts, his emotions, and his actions. Yet... I do not desire to be a cruel person. ]
Allow me. [ He takes a few quick strides forward as soon as they reach the cafe. Opening the door for her, he gestures for her to enter first. ] I realize that you'll be fine, but allow me to worry after you all the same.
