[ A long silence stretches between them, Seimei staring at Kaoru blankly for the majority, before the onmyoji's head tosses back in a delighted, stress-relieving laugh. ]

I have no idea what half of that meant, you know? [ He shakes his head, chuckling softly and pressing a hand to his lips, covered by a sleeve. ] Dating is what you do when you try to determine the age of an artifact. I can only assume friend-zoning is...some sort of concept about making...a place for friends?

However, no, Kaoru. Courting is not anything that demands something of you. It is simply announcing my interest, and asking permission to give you gifts, or visit you from time to time. If you do not make your intentions to court clear, then gifts might seem strange, and visits might be ill-received. where I come from, of course. [ He was quick to add with a small nod. ]

In my time...things are apparently much simpler. More clear. And the lines are more defined. I promise, I don't intend to pressure anything. If you find my interest disconcerting, please tell me and I will never mention it again, I swear it. Your friendship is more valuable to me. I am used to never speaking of my affection, Kaoru. I have lived my life in silence, and I would rather you as a friend than find myself alone, having chased you away with foolish declarations.
