[Ikki narrows his eyes at the reaction of the boy, he didn't think the kid would have seen it or know what it meant... But apparently he does.]

Who told you about that?

[No, it doesn't sound as if he's going to rip off their head for telling a kid those things. It's not as if he cares, he's just curious. And it's not as if he thinks that little Marco shouldn't hear about his father being gone because his father was actually a great man deserving to live on forever not like a certain bastard that had children and then used them as toy soldiers. Yeah, he's totally unconcerned.

Ikki shifts a bit to get a better and more secure hold of Marco, it has been ages since he had a kid in his arms. It's ironically easier now, specially since he's actually an adult now and just not a kid a bit older. It doesn't seem as if he plans to let the kid down anytime soon anyway.]

Don't worry about the wings, you will be flying even without them before you realize it. And yes, Kotomi-chan, you should introduce yourself.

[With that he just... Waits for Kotomi to introduce herself.

And he's not smiling or finding it amusing, okay? It's not as if he thinks her introduction speech is cute and funny.]
