It hadn't occurred to him to put a stop to it. Even if it had, he wouldn't suggest it now. Fair was fair. There was nothing here that was so deep or awful that'd be terrible for her to have to see-- his own discomfort or lack thereof needn't apply.

There wasn't really anything to be upset about anyway. It'd been a nice summer, after all. Despite whatever claims he might make that he didn't remember it well, there it was. Small successes, good-humored failures, cheerful chatter beneath the trees. The chatter that turned into ecstatic delight as they pointed up at a tree that seemed to stretch up forever, a huge prize of a beetle shining proudly on its trunk.

Kai let out a soft breath, lowering his gaze a bit towards her. "It was a nice summer," he commented idly. Clearly there wasn't any cause for worry. If he sounded a little bittersweet, well. Maybe a little.
