[He finds it amusing in his own way that Ayato is keeping labels off of their alliance, smiling back and not saying any more on it. But the topic change is welcome, and he supposes if the secret wasn't already out, it will be now. Not that he was trying to keep it a secret, he just didn't bother to share yet.]

I've had the privilege of cooking something for the Shirasagi Himegimi already, which I think went over quite well! But as for family, none of them arrived here with me, for better or worse. I do miss them, but I'd prefer they stay safe back at home while we assist here.

Instead, I'll be returning home to my girlfriend. I'm sure you already know her- she is from Inazuma, after all.

[Waiting for Ayato's reaction here lol]
