[Good. He can see the wheels turning inside Haruaki's head, but at least for now it seems like he is going to go along with Douman's wishes. Douman will just have to work even harder on regaining his abilities and keep an eye on Seimei's reincarnation too.]
Yes?
[He has raises his cup to take a sip of his own tea again, but the sudden yelling about his love life has Douman do a spit-take instead.]
Wh-Why are you suddenly talking as if you're my mom!?
[ He... sort of believes it. Douman is self-sufficient to an extreme degree, but not everyone adjusts easily to a world like this; if he wasn't doing okay, Haruaki would completely understand.
To that end, he doesn't really expect it to have much of an effect, but he has to offer it up anyway, sunny and genuine: ]
But if you're ever not doing fine, you can always talk to Abe-sensei!
[The truth is, Douman is doing anything but fine. This last incident has driven home in painful detail why it's better if he stays away from making any deep bonds. It only hurts him and anybody who gets close to him. But Haruaki-kun doesn't need to know that.
He just smiles and nods his head in a way that makes his hair fall over his eyes.]
I'll keep that in mind. Thank you, Abe-sense.
[As if he could ever drag Seimei's reincarnation into his bad times.]

[ Wait. That's a real person. ]
I mean– I'm not trying to be your mom!! I'm just asking as a friend...

....I'm doing fine, Haruaki-kun. No need to worry about me.
