Kai didn't bother with the crossword, but he did sip at the juice some while Nana busied herself around the kitchen. He glanced up at the old woman as she came to the table, but she just got right back up again and drew the curtains shut. Was she worried about the scarecrows seeing into the house or something? It wasn't like they were doing anything particularly interesting. He sighed and didn't ask, taking some food instead. He tried a little bit of the gravy and decided he didn't like it, but ate it anyway. Hopefully she wouldn't make that again, but for now he was polite and just ate it with a biscuit. He didn't even have to wonder if these came from the tube that you popped, he knew they didn't.
He ate quietly. He didn't really know what to say to Nana currently. There was one burning question on Kai's mind but he didn't know how to bring it up or if that would make the current situation worse so he didn't. He only nodded his head a little about the torching of the scarecrows. That would probably be better anyway. Why let them live? Or, whatever it was they were. Kai didn't really think they were living, exactly. Just as he was really agonizing over what to say, Nana spoke up again though. He looked up from his scrambled eggs at her, hesitating a moment. Was she being serious? His fork moved around some of the scrambled egg before he nodded again, giving Nana a very cautious smile.
"Thank you." He responded at last. "I wont be upset." There was no reason for him to be upset if Emma Jean refused to come over. "I'll call her after breakfast..." He decided. "Thank you." He added, repeating what he had first said. He could practically feel his tension melt away.
