[ not expecting to be called for, Natsume dropped the book from his hands in surprise ] Ah… [ he quickly looked at the book on the floor and picked it up, letting out a sigh of relief after seeing it hadn’t been damaged. it was an old book after all, one he had borrowed from Nanase when he asked her that he wished to learn more about the ayakashi’s. carefully putting the book on his desk he turned towards the wall that separated Matoba and his room ]
I’m sorry was I too loud? [ Natsume had always been a quiet in his movements, a habit he picked up from his upbringing (it was always better not to be noticed, by both humans and not). but he had become extra careful in trying not be too loud after coming to Matoba’s house, not wanting to break the dignified atmosphere of the clan nor disturb his guardian who happened to be in the room next to his (or at least so Natsume thought) ]
I am done for the day though. What about you, Matoba-san? [ perhaps, since Matoba was talking to him now, the man was also done for the day? perhaps he had some time to spare to talk to Natsume…? ]
