[Mayoi did not dare step out of line. He was already predisposed to behave that way, but when he entered his new home, the tension was enough to make him feel like he was walking on egg shells 24/7. Maybe that was normal...? It was hard for him to deal with, which made him feel awful, and a failure of a companion, but he had to keep trying.]
[...yes, he had been asked many times by the lady of the house to give up secrets on the daughter, despite having been bought for her. He suspects ...that his utter lack of useful information has strained the good will she might have had for him, and so, when he is around her and not Mafuyu, he is very quiet, very careful, and he does not make eye contact.]
[Because he suspects that if he moves wrong, the consequences will be bad for them both, and it would be one thing for him to suffer, but quite another for Mafuyu to suffer. That is why ...he is trying harder to hold himself together. For her sake.]
[So, when their confrontation wears down, and they're both alone, when she reaches out he does not hesitate to come in close. His own frayed nerves simply make his gentle purring that much louder, and hopefully she will find some comfort from it.]
...Would Master like it if I made some tea for her...?
[He would have to gently traipse through the areas inhabited by the Lady of the house, but it would be a worthy risk for Mafuyu.]
