"You seem surprised, child. Were you perhaps, not expecting me?" Tomoki asked Airi, as he saw her looking at him with big eyes, and not taking the hand extended for a handshake.
"Yeah… I mean no, not at all. No that doesn't sound correct either, gosh," Airi was in a daze when he asked the question, so her response was a bit strange, at least to her. In the end, she took the hand, and returned the gesture with a handshake. "Sorry for the previous behavior. It was my bad to act out of it. Yes, of course, we were expecting your arrival. It's just that, you are a bit late than the promised time, which made me a bit taken aback, that's all."
Tomoki stared at her for a few seconds before breaking out into a throaty chuckle. "Oh my, just as I heard, you are so witty." Soon after, he flashed a friendly smile at her. "I'm glad to meet you, honestly. And of course, I apologize for being late."
