[ Ugh, okay, he has to cough a little bit. He manages to rein it in, partly because Melon is on him and partly because he's trying not to upset Hakusan any worse than he obviously already is. ]
You did the best you could.
[ Looks like he might have to tell Aruji about this and go see Yagen after all... ]
