[That’s the kind of praise that really makes Chuuya preen. Loyalty is important to him, and he knows his boss isn’t naturally a trusting person. He has no doubt he’s been tested at times for that very reason. He’s not naive. Which is why that might just be the best compliment he could receive. ]
Thank you, boss. [He murmurs it, but there’s no pretend at humility from him now, just pride. Then: ] I know.
[Mori Ougai is not known for doing anything on a whim.
He’s really praising Chuuya now, though. He could vibrate with it. It takes a lot of focus to stay still for him because of it. Anyone else, he’d bite their thumb as it passed across his lips, at least playfully. He considers flicking his tongue out against it, but - no. Not yet.
Mori is also the only person who can inspire patience in Chuuya. For a little while, until he’s fully grasped the situation. ]
