Kanaya—! [Kaoru's abandoned the super polite speech, feeling no real need to carry on with that part of his facade now that so much has been dropped. he does seem genuinely pleased to see her, though, and trundles over in her direction immediately to take the saved seat.]

...Belarus and Michael, you mean? [that's kind of ominous... Kaoru doesn't seem particularly bothered, though.] I am relieved to see that you are here, at the very least. The weeks without you and Touko were awful, the up sides were so small... [Kaoru has a feeling that at least one of the up sides was due to the remaining DK members that he can't recall.]
