Ken huffs again. "I just told 'em if they had questions about Hakkai-sama, they could ask Hakkai-sama. I didn't mention Nanako-sama 'cause I don't want them anywhere near her, but Hakkai-sama can take care of himself, byon." He pauses, re-evaluates this statement, and amends it. "He can take care of himself when it comes to assholes poking around in his business, anyway."

Much better. Now it's actually true.
