Hayate made another brief nod, "I will." He wasn't used to being thanked. After all, no one really knew what the Leafé Knights did for them and no one ever really thanked them.

When Soma said that there were some things they were better off not knowing, he glanced over at Himeno, remembering his own argument along those lines. It had been his main stance on Himeno not being told about Fenrir's past and his involvement in it. Sixteen years worth of guilt and regret over one story. Though everything's passed now and the story told, I still wonder if it would have been better off unknown. "There's no need to be sorry. I know the feeling well enough myself," he said stiffly, his own intense blue eyes meeting Soma's. He found it a bit ironic that he was suddenly filling the roles other knights had played for him. He'd made his choice, Soma would have to make his own. He wasn't going to force his acquaintance's decision, nor would he hold it against him.
