[ Samatoki isn't necessarily soothed by the action, but it does make him realise that he's sharing a little too much. He's probably making her uncomfortable with such a story. ]

A protector's, huh...

[ He's never considered it that way. Growing up, joining the yakuza and doing what he did to get where he is now, they were done with consent. He knew what he was getting into. Sure, it was to give his sister a better life... but he wouldn't call himself a protector.

Especially after what happened to Nemu. ]

[ That's enough chatter about his stupid life for now. He is on his feet before Kitsuno can even respond. ]
