Hakuba waited on the sofa, a bit surprised to see Akako's softer side, and thinking that the whole situation was a bit strange. She was the only woman, even person, he didn't mind giving him orders, but she was hurt too and he wanted to support her.

He took the tea from her delicate hands with a grateful smile, and drank it in smalls sips. Hakuba didn't drank or eat anything hot in the last week and he didn't want to get sick because of that. He felt much better after that, Akako was really good at potions.

"I'm so..happy to be with you again." He left the cup on the table and took Akako's hand on his, caressing them softly. "You're ok?"
