[Ken is watching the ray approach his hand curiously when the voice rings out, and his head snaps up in surprise. If Chikusa weren't still holding his wrist, he'd probably have pulled his hand out, but it stays where it is.
He blinks at the approaching girl - someone Chikusa knows, obviously, but Ken hasn't met her before - before glancing to his partner, then back at the girl. In fact, he's hardly ever had his relationship with Chikusa acknowledged by somebody else - Gojyo's needled him about it, and Hakkai is certainly aware, although he's never really commented on it much to Ken. But this is just about the first time anyone's openly, loudly acknowledged Ken as being Chikusa's boyfriend...and the person doing it is a cute girl.
Ken turns quickly, unmistakably red. It's just as well the question is directed at Chikusa, because Ken's momentarily tongue-tied. This is embarrassing! And how did she know they're boyfriends, anyway? Did Chikusa talk to her about him?
And then the ray nuzzles Ken's hand, after Ken's entirely forgotten about it, and Ken lets out a startled, borderline canine and thoroughly undignified yelp.]
