[ He hears the worry in her voice and knows better than to exacerbate things, so he quickly tries to placate her. ]
Nothing in particular. There were a few troublesome people I met at the ball but nothing I couldn't handle. Should they approach you, I will see to it that they are taken care of.
[ And she hears the placation in his voice, making the edges of her mouth turn down in a pout frown. Subaki... he always tries to shoulder everything himself... she wants to help—especially now, when she's in the unique position of actually being useful to him with her experience here. ]
If something's troubling you, I want you to be able to tell me.
The only matter troubling me is that I have yet to find a way to get you back to our world. For that, I ask your forgiveness. I've been researching it during my spare time, but there is no clear resolution.
[ So far, he's learned that those who have disappeared have been randomized at best, though it's likely they may have suffered a worse fate. Nobody knows exactly what happened to them and where they went. ]
[ Oh, that... she gets the distinct feeling that Subaki is trying to change the subject, but she doesn't want to push him on it. This is another troubling matter anyway, and she's not surprised that it's bothering him. ]
I tried to look into it too... but I didn't hear anything promising. Blanc has researchers studying it, but they still don't know what brings us here or sends us back.
[ It is strange indeed, but Subaki isn't the type to rest or give up. It's imperative he works to get them all back home, but he also doesn't want to stress Sakura out about that. She should enjoy herself a little more here. ]
Please leave the research to me. You said you wanted to go out. Perhaps, you can show me the marketplace. I've made quite a bit already doing jobs here and there.
[ More like doing ALL THE JOBS. But at least he's been efficient about it. ]
[ She can only imagine that he's doing ALL THE JOBS. ]
I hope you're not working yourself too hard, Subaki. [ I mean, it's Subaki and he's always going to work hard no matter what she says, but she tries anyway. ]
All right. [ Even though she doesn't believe that for a second. ] But promise me you won't wear yourself out, okay? It makes me worry when you work yourself too hard.
I would never. I am not even the slightest bit exhausted right now. As you can hear, I'm more than energetic and ready to go out for a brisk walk.
[ Thankfully, she can't see him right now. Then she'd know that it's not the most truthful statement ever, but he'd rather not burden her right now with more worries. ]
[ That does give him enough time to clean up and look presentable... and make everything look presentable. If he moves at the speed of light, that is, but he's quite excellent under pressure. Challenge accepted. ]
Of course, please do take your time. Until then, my lady.

Are you free right now?

[ More like he's doing three times the work since he has three royals he needs to look after, but no one needs to know that. ]
And for you, I am always free. Shall I meet you outside your room?
sorry for the wait....

I'll meet you outside the Hall, all right? I don't want to make you come all the way up to my room.
