Tsubasa wasn't naive enough to expect that Rin would always be as open and affectionate with him as when she was a child. He was prepared for her to grow up; he just hadn't thought that she would withdraw and refuse to listen to him. Jabi was in a better position to understand a teenage girl's concerns but he considered that, as Rin's mentor, she should have taught Rin that such things were secondary to her destiny as a Makai Priestess. "I hope Rin could speak to me any time she liked. But I have never taught her to be obstinate, and neither has anyone in my household." He felt less inclined to watch his words now that Jabi was directly confronting him.
