Kotetsu stood there looking particularly proud of himself for coming up with such a great idea-- until his mood was immediately shot down and trampled over by scolding voices. "I'm not breaking anything!" He grumbled over to Barnaby before turning around to face Kaede, laughing sheepishly as he tried to seem as reassuring as possible.

"Now now, you don't need to worry! Papa's gonna be extra careful with your things, I promise!"

Maybe he'd be a little rougher with Barnaby's boxes, at least if he could get away with it. Just what he got for bringing up the damages thing first. Maybe he'd even tell Kaede to keep the pets in the room Barnaby decided to use for himself, see how he liked that animal smell for a while.
