A large part of it is Lyall. [ A breath. ] She and Hikaru have these awkward moments and I'm reluctant to intervene in any way because... well. She's not... my kid.
[ Helping things with Hotaru had been different back in the day. Lines were generally less blurry because family is family and what little he'd offered to help Hikaru's youngest sister to relax around his boy had resulted in a much better thing for both ( he likes to think it did, he'll never say it out loud though. ) ]
She's drawn a line between them: a king and soldier kind of set-up.
[ It's heartbreaking, what it is. Especially since he's pretty sure that he's not the only one to have seen the way Hikaru moves around her. ]
