[It's strange to be a senior shinki to anyone. Technically, he's senior to Genjo, but he's never even met the man in real life and doesn't even know he's one of Ni's shinki. So he's more than a little surprised at the bow, especially since it's Hakkai.]

You...did? That's...sort of a surprise.

[The red mark on Hakkai's throat catches his eye--did he have that before, or is that the name Ukoku's given him? It isn't one he knows the meaning of, though.]

I didn't think he'd want to take on more shinki, he's not really interested in doing the kind of things shinki are supposed to be used for.
