As she moved away from his hand and placed her cup down on the table, Hoshi brought his hand back down to his side and looked at her. What he said had made it sound like he was preparing to leave after such a short gathering, but he would stay around as long as she wanted him to. He could hear the disappointment in her voice and his light smile faded just a little. He placed a hand on her shoulder and looked at her with a calm and confident smile. "I'll stay around if you still want me, and I have my fire to protect me later on in the night." He wasn't sure why he was getting so touchy all of a sudden, but as he fully noticed it, he slowly and somewhat hesitantly slid his hand off of her shoulder and moved it to grab the cup of tea once more.
