Nene knew that her sudden change of behavior would make Kiriha unsure of her motives behind everything. It was just what she wanted. He couldn’t possibly have foreseen this change at least, and by the looks of it he hadn’t. She didn’t plan on going on with it for long though, as she would soon enough fall back to her first ‘digging’ of why he was back. Nene giggled when he turned his head around and looked at her with a full view. He didn’t speak at first, which made Nene even more amused.
“Geez Kiriha.. you are so easy to throw off guard. You should really work on that.” She crossed her arms in sheer amusement. Loving the expression his face made.
“A special someone… like a girl..” she stared at him dumbfound. “Don’t tell me you haven’t had at least a fling while traveling the world?” Nene wasn’t sure if she was supposed to feel disappointed or not. Had he really been alone this past year? That thought actually made Nene somewhat sad. She knew being alone wasn’t fun, but then again Kiriha had never been the type of guy to spend his time in larger groups. Tossing that thought aside she went back to being curious. She expected an answer, raising her eyebrow at him in the process.
He simply grunted at her teasing tone, still frowning. “I wouldn’t say that if I were you… If anything I’d say I’m a lot better off than most people can handle. I’m sure you’d know.”
Blue eyes darted back to glance at the other, showing just the slightest hint of surprise. Although he had already guessed as to what Nene meant by a ‘special someone’ before he even voiced out his question, he still felt skeptical about the credibility of her inquiry. It made him wonder what her reasoning could be for asking him that. But then again, this was the ever-curious and mysterious Nene he was talking about, so perhaps he shouldn’t be surprised by her prodding at all.
Noticing her expression, his frown deepened – even more so as he listened to her words. So all this time she assumed he might’ve been playing around during his stay abroad? The mere thought of that actually made him feel somewhat offended.
“No… not at all,” Kiriha murmured, scowl softening somewhat with discontent, but it was still there. “Is that strange? …Do I really look like the type who’d just waste his time fooling around with girls?”
Earlier skepticism forgotten for the moment, he slowly stepped up to her, the deep frown still etched on his features that masked the faint traces of disappointment he felt on the inside. “Don’t underestimate me, Nene. You of all people should know that I have more self-respect than that. Or am I wrong?”

All the while, his visage still held the slight vexation he felt. Kiriha didn’t even bother masking his displeasure as...
