He shakes his head. "You don't have to be strong all the time, Mia. But you're strong for people when it counts -- in court. I don't think you should devalue that," he says.
He listens to her, and rubs the back of his neck. "You don't have to thank me. I was just doing what I had to do. Anyway, if I hadn't been such an idiot when I first got the magatama, you wouldn't have even been exposed to that in the first place." That, on his own end, is something he'll probably never feel like he can live down, but it can't be helped. "And yeah, I'm always available to lend an ear."
He gets up a bit to order the coffee -- remembering what HIS Mia liked best -- and brings them back to their table. He hopes this is one thing that carries over from dimension to dimension.
