[ The corner of his lips quirks just the slightest at that apology. So he's a 'good kid' in the end. He'd suspected as much, but it's always nice to know he'll probably have the upper hand if push comes to shove.

'Can't be natural,' is it. Correct, but incorrect. [ he tosses the flower away, picks up another one. ] Judging by the abundance of these flowers, they may simply be what is 'normal' to this world. If nature here produces talking flowers with no provocation, then these are natural. Silent blossoms would the unnatural ones. But they certainly are strange by standards you and I are used to, it seems.

[ He cranes his head to give Yukine a hard stare. ]

Though by my standards, these flowers aren't the only things that seem strange. [ He's talking about you, Yukine. ]
