"'Approach a woman?'" Tsubasa gaped at her for the space of several moments while this reached through to his senses. As soon as it did he rushed to interrupt himself, "I'm her brother, the only family she has left. What is there to understand? I would hope I know her better than anyone."
A tiny corner of his mind considered that Jabi was right, he had very little idea of women. He dismissed the thought immediately. He was vaguely aware of the airy things associated with women: dresses, red-painted lips, hairstyles, other trivialities that had no place in Rin's life. One day, she might take up with some Makai Knight and have children as her namesake had done, but all of that was too far into the future to think about now. The idea of "women's things" seemed faintly tawdry to him and so he changed the subject, "Exactly. You or I wouldn't have acted foolishly, because we would have been punished. Is that it? Haven't I disciplined her enough?"
