Task done, Kintaros steps back to take in his work and dusts off his hands, then rests them on his hips and looks over his shoulder at V/V.

"I'm not sure," he says, "but we'll find out!" And if he happens to try walking in whatever spot he thinks will best serve to put him between V/V and danger, it's just because that's what he does. He doesn't know V/V all that well, but he tends to assume smaller means more fragile and his responsibility is to make sure she is unharmed.

Perhaps he misses Kohana already.

Most of that is briefly forgotten when he lays eyes on the next floor. On the gym equipment all over the next floor. He just stops halfway down the stairs and stares at it all.
