[He wants to drop the topic and just catch a bit of breath before being back out there looking for a certain boy. Sunny is priority number one- Mari, if also lost, would be priority number two (but she's still okay, right?)... but he can entertain the old man in the body of a kid who died on a toilet (what even is his deal?).]
oh? Oooh, yeah, I met her when she arrived and a couple times after, she's really cute!
[The 'she would make good little sister material' kind of cute. Kel doesn't care about pretty girls and definitely doesn't consider himself a 'hot guy'.
The way the other looks at him though? It runs deep, it's uncomfortable, he feels... like a grandpa is telling him to take care of his only grandchild. Considering this guy is all weird and she's actually acting like a young kid, maybe that's the case too? At least to some degree? Who knows- still, it feels almost necessary to offer a positive answer.]
wha- yeah, of course. Worry not, I will take great care of her. After all, who wouldn't find her daikon-like style endearing and her manners cute? Don't worry, if I find her- I got this!
