Even if Kideme was still a bit tired and worn out from that last battle, she was happy to be home and among the people she cared for. This, of course, included Akui. And Kideme was happy to see that he had seemed to make himself comfortable enough with being here. So when he came to hug her, she embraced him back, rubbing the top of his hair.

"Good to see you too. Hehe, now then..." With a grin, she parted back from the boy, putting her hand on his shoulder as she lead him to her office. On their way up, Kideme grabbed her personal tea tray from the bar, loaded with the usual jade tea, some snacks and some candies for Akui. Inside her office, it seemed to be exactly as she left it from what she could tell, and with placing the tray down on the small coffee table, she took a seat at her desk. "So what did I miss? Anything juicy?" She asked while looking at him briefly before trying to organize a messy pile of scrolls and parchment. Whatever Akui might say, Kideme wasn't looking directly at him now but would occasionally glance his way. But then suddenly, Kideme stopped and picked up her doll Winky, which she opened at the stomach. "I almost forgot! I brought you back a little something."

With slowly coming over, Kideme handed him a little toy drum. It was nothing fancy really, but it was colorful and smelled of freshly carved wood and paint. "Just hold it by the handle and flick your wrist to let the little beads hit the drum and make a little music."

"I know that you had to grow up fast, but you are still a kid, and every kid needs a toy." She offered with a smile, hoping that what she said wouldn't offend him. "But sometimes, you always look so lost in thought, and I figured maybe this will help you channel some of that nervous energy." With that, Kideme would sit down again, looking to him with a grin. "Anyway, sorry for interrupting you."
