All of the leftover tension that was inside of Kyoko instantly melted away when Haruto said she didn't have to be so formal with him. The sound of his chuckle lit up an invisible spark in Kyoko's heart. She was perfectly comfortable with addressing the her superior as Haruto-san. He may have been Kyoko's superior, but he came off as kind, gentle, and very well mannered. It wasn't just his appearance that was attractive, but the way he carried himself. He had high standing in the Fujiwara dynasty, but he was modest and treated her as an equal. Kyoko responded with joy at being allowed to address Haruto by his first name. "Of course, Haruto-san is fine. I'm perfectly comfortable with it. You can call me Kyoko-san, if you like." She seemed it was only right that if she could call Haruto by his first name, then he could call her by her first name.
Haruto agreed with Kyoko regarding having purpose through serving the pack. But at the same time, he mentioned that her happiness was important as well. She looked at the koi as she spoke. "I know my own happiness is something to keep in mind. But I also find joy into helping and serving the Dynasty in any way I can as a hunter. But I will admit that my favorite activity is having a nice time in the hot springs to put myself at ease." Ah yes, nothing beat a good time in the hot springs. But something she would also admit, was that Haruto had become one of the things that made her happy. Very happy. She stared at her reflection in the water, her mystical dark purple eyes staring right back at her.
Haruto understood her feelings of putting her duties before everything else, and it was nice to know someone understood her strong determination to carry out her responsibilities. Kyoko wondered how busy Haruto must have been keeping track of so much history. She spoke happily as her eyes were trained on the koi in front of her. "You must have a lot to do as a historian Haruto-san. But I'm sure a handsome wolf such as yourself can easily keep up with all of it." Kyoko had just called Haruto handsome, and she silently hoped she hadn't pushed through a unspoken barrier. But she couldn't help but state the obvious.
