"Good grief, of course I can," Seimei grumbled, casting a withering look Kaoru's way with a huff. "But some things are worth the wait," he added, looking away slowly and smiling to himself as he moved one hand over the stove and pressed the other to his lips. Ah yes, that feeling...
The water bubbled instantly and he gave the boy another look as though weary of parlor tricks before he set everything aside and completed the tea, carrying the set into the open space of the apartment and settled slowly on the floor. A short table served to hold the tray and it's contents and as Seimei settled, he looked up at his sunset prince at last, genuine awe in his dark eyes. How he had survived he couldn't say, but the reward was well worth it, indeed.
"Would you like to join me?" he asked, gently formal as he situated his robes and sleeves, almost the man Kaoru knew. They would never be able to dress him in his preferred clothing in public without extraordinary circumstances, but it was close enough in the moment. He could definitely do with higher quality fabrics at least.
