...You know what, at this point, he was just going to keep his mouth shut and his opinions to himself.
Clearly, these two had a lot to talk about, and just as clearly they hadn't been doing any of that talking before now. Or at least not much of it. This time difference made things doubly difficult for them; Hikitsu could understand both of the reasons Uruki had for not wanting to speak of things, but he knew Takiko well enough by now to know that she would only resent attempts to shelter her. And apparently Uruki hadn't really made it clear why he wouldn't discuss certain things.
But he'd known they were a pair from almost the moment he'd first seen them; now it was just up to them to find their equilibrium again. He didn't need to add to this conversation which was probably late in coming, so he just stepped back, ready to separate them if necessary, and watched.
