But his smile fades by degrees as those looks turn into ones of veiled suspicion, wary of a bloodline in their midst. The air seems to grow colder, but he brightens again when they reach the shop itself.
"Well we're here, Hoshigaki-san. Thank you for escorting me. You mentioned there's an order you're awaiting?"
