@theamazingtrainernate interrogated: (to Koga) It had been some time since he took up Koga's offer regarding his *special training.* Nate was doing alright, but he still had a long way to go to become skilled in Koga's special arts. After a long morning of training, the two took a small respite for lunch. Figuring this was the best time as ever to bring this particular topic up, Nate spoke up. "So word has it you're back on the dating scene again"
Koga noted how much Nate had progressed on his mastery of a few techniques he offered to teach him. The lunch they were sharing was rather simple sushi bento boxes with a large vegetable salad with hot lemon balm tea to wash it down. Hearing Nate’s question mid-bite, Koga squinted his eyes at the audacity to nose into his personal business so bluntly.
“Ah, gossip on the nature of my personal affairs? To think at my age such a thing would still occur. I suppose I should look into these rumors to gauge just how wild the imaginations of others tends to be.” He was aware he didn’t answer the question, but his stern and aloof tone should have said enough.
“I didn’t take you for the type to follow the romantic lives of men who are your senior. Is there any particular reason why you’re so curious on a matter that doesn’t affect you? Unless you’re signaling interest in me in a round about fashion.”
