Shiro silently watched this exchange between the two from down the hallway. Those ears, that tail--he knew Rin had unsheathed the Kurikara. It seemed inevitable… but he was a little disappointed that this couldn’t have been held off longer. He strolled down that hallway toward Rin.

“Mind the words which leave your mouth.” Shiro walked up behind Rin, and set one hand set upon his son’s shoulder. He’d spare the rest of this lecture to get another look at his son.

Rin's back stiffened at the familiar voice and the weight on his shoulder. He turned his head just enough to look at the hand resting on his shoulder.

"Che... can't go a minute without preachin' to me, can you, old man?" Despite his words, Rin's voice was soft and full of warmth. The old man was always getting on his case when he screwed up, and that was just one more thing Rin had been missing. Even if it was a pretty stupid thing to miss.

Shiro replied with a laugh, darting his thumb across the tip of his own tongue. He moved quickly to rub away some of that soot from Rin’s cheek before met with any sort of protest. “This is quite overdue,” Both arms moved around Rin, giving him a tight hug.

Distracted by the thumb wiping at his cheek, Rin was completely taken by surprise by the sudden hug. His arms hung at his sides for a moment before he slowly relaxed and lifted his arms to return the gesture. He squeezed his eyes shut and clenched his hands into the sleeves of his father's clothes.

"I'm sorry..." He had said it already over the Forge, but maybe saying it again in person would make it seem real.
