Kaede, seeing him definitely mopier than usually, opts for a playful act in which she takes off his glasses without any warning whatsoever, waiting for him to lean down so she can then ruffle his hair affectionatedly. ( he's always so bubbly and cheery, she wants to know what's dragging him so low. ) "...You're like a fluffy kitten. A fluffy, red kitten." she comments, a smile gracing her lips - with a bit of a twinkle in her glance. "Everything alright, Seven...?"
Running his fingers through his hair, he squints at his phone screen with lips turned into a frown. It’s when Kaede removes his glasses he lets out a gasp, the hacker’s shoulders tense and he’s about to yell at her but he bites down at his lip. He couldn’t yell at Kaede, no, taking his frustrations out at her. It wouldn’t help matters, ultimately.
Instead, he tugs at a smile, (it’s tired, so tired) while looking at the Japanese girl. He leans down to get a better look at her now, lips opened up just barely.
“Ehh~ a fluffy kitten, really?” An amused smile replaces his tired one, “Miau~ mm~ am I the cutest one you’ve come across?” A chuckle passes through his lips now, and he paws playfully at her dark locks, but his eyes briefly advert, “It’s…it’s nothing, just work giving me a tough time.” Along with the onslaught of people attacking him on being unable to save someone important to him.
