[[We've all had that happen. You're good. :)]]
Narihira had his doubts about what Kaito said. Not about the other spirits, but his own intentions. Kaito had looked very intimidating the first time they met and looked the same on each of his following visits. The only reason that Narihira had relaxed around him was because he believed the spirit when he claimed to be a protector of the mountain. A guardian had no need for such trickery and a trickster had no need for such kindness. If Kaito only intended to trick him, then why would he take his job as guardian so seriously?
His quandary was quickly forgotten when Kaito supplied the answer to his question. A swell of happiness filled his chest when Kaito mentioned visiting sooner which then was replaced by flustered panic. "Needed? No! I only…that is—" His sentence stopped short when he ran into the tree branch and promptly kicked a root which sent him stumbling a few steps forward. He brushed his fingers through his damp hair to shake loose the leaves the tree left behind. The perfect example of the kind of hopeless man he was.
He cleared his throat. "I've been fine these last few days. Just…a little lonely, I suppose." His blush darkened. Perhaps he ought not to bother Kaito with something so trivial when he had a whole mountain to look after. Although stopping now would look like he was only seeking attention. "I haven't had the chance to meet very many people since I first came to stay here and all of my neighbors live too far away for me to visit them until my ankle heals properly. It is very peaceful out here, but…I miss the city. I miss how lively it is and being near my friends and family. There's no one to talk to out here. Except you." Perhaps that was why he found it so easy to overlook Kaito being supernatural. He was one of the only people who Narihira had spoken to more than once since he arrived a few weeks ago.
And he sounded like he meant to guilt the spirit into visiting. "But I don't mean to bore you with my moping. I will have to make more of an effort to get out and visit my neighbors once my ankle is better," he said, forcing a cheerful lilt into his voice.
