Although his instinct was to easily slide into jovial agreement with Ken's positive assertions, Yohji remained impassive for a moment, regarding Ken carefully.
He seemed...shifty. Or at least distracted. He was setting off some of the cues Yohji used to pick up from suspects that weren't responding to his interrogations with a full disclosure.
Not that Ken had any obligation to tell Yohji whatever was bothering him. It was just obvious to his distant PI training that the other man was hiding something.
Big deal though, right? When were any of them NOT hiding something?
Yohji's own secrets were slowly getting chipped away though. Thanks to Schuldig he didn't have much left. That didn't bother him quite as much as he might have thought.
He had to admit that it did bother him mildly though that after confiding so extensively in Ken, the younger man didn't seem to feel it went both ways.
It was really fucking self absorbed of him to think like that. Ken had already told him plenty. And it was especially unreasonable of him to expect Ken to confide in him if he might be the actual problem.
...again. Self absorbed much?
"I'm...hesitant to assume everything's worked out just yet." A flinch briefly broke through Yohji's blank facade, before he caught himself and replaced it with the expected smile.
"...But...yeah. So far..." the forced smile slowly melded into a more authentic one, "heh, 'great' is a pretty good description. Better than great."
He continued to watch Ken closely as he spoke, gauging his teammate's reactions in hopes to determine if Ken's discomfort was being caused by him or something else.... He couldn't really tell.
"Well, anyway-heh-I wouldn't go so far as to say that Ran has had any revelations of that sort. But I'm glad someone is willing to acknowledge my awesomeness, ha!" He slung an arm around Ken good naturedly, watching out of the corner of his eye for any elicited faltering. He acted like this all the time, but...things might be different now.
