Kusuriyuri's eyes narrow. Perhaps his phrasing was unfortunate. Regardless, the past cannot be changed, but it can be learned from. "That is good." It is praise, high praise from a teacher. "Unfortunately, he will become angrier before he stops seeking you out. You will need to be on your guard." If his scales worked here, he would teach A how to use one.

As if in response to his thoughts, one of the scales comes out and balances oh his finger when he raises his hand automatically to catch it. The bells drop, jingling merrily before balancing still on his finger.
