[mineo is... well, thoughtful, but there is some modicum of restraint. he's still curious and the feeling gets worse but - ]

... maybe not right now. [there's little notes of apology in his feelings to match] I already promised my partner that I'd hold off until we could get to figure out a few more things.

[and they just discussed the importance of not breaking partners' trust, or working ahead of them? so.]

But... I'll be back as soon as I can ask, Greed-san. Is that fair?

[whatever emotions he has disappear and he settles on a nod. maus has decided he's done walking, so greed reaches down to scoop him up.]

I suppose it will have to be. [but it's said in a way that says he's fine either way and he gets why.] ...until then.

[unless mineo has something else?]

[sengokus]

[he nods in at that, smiling a little as he reaches out to pet maus]

Until then! I'll see you guys later.

[a beat]

Thanks, Greed-san. For hearing me out - and everything else you've done so far too. I really appreciate it.

[and you are what his feelings say, the gratitude coming up to the surface without restraint]

[maus wags his tail and tries to lick mineo's fingers immediately.]

...of course. [he doesn't quite know what to do with that, but he can accept it with a slight nod. go forth and do your best, mineo.]
