[Yeah honestly please be worried about Kashuu. He's just squinting a little, canting his head first to one side and then to the other in a way reminiscent of a confused animal.]
But like, drawing baths and stuff?
[THAT SEEMS REALLY SMALL and totally unrelated to battle?! He figures that's where the majority of their agreement is, anyway - that if Baren ever needs his help, he'd be there to lend his strength. The rest is just... friendship, isn't it??
He's starting to get the creeping realization that he might have bit off more than he can chew, here.]
[Confused animal.... It's kinda cute, Baren's entertaining the idea of petting his head again. This still might be because Baren likes animals more than people.
Still though, he hums at that and mirrors the tilt of Kashuu's head.]
Sure.
It's not like it's anything I wouldn't do for my sister.
[ . . . that's still a pretty high level of importance, Baren.]
[When will swords rank supreme over animals, the real question.
But anyway THAT'S yes that sure is definitely a high level of importance, hm. HM. But maybe he's just reading too much into it because he's tired and wants a nap already...]
—Well, thanks. You can use the bathroom after I'm done, I'll go set out the guest towels and stuff.

Kashuu also arches a brow, pausing for a second to just sort of smash his face into his cat because he needs the comfort leave him alone. But also:]
Yeah, and we're not in the middle of a battle or anything. You're doing me a favor here, y'know?
[He, a simple fool, does not understand how far "I'll take care of you" extends. He doesn't know what he's gotten into.]
Just put lunch on my tab next time we grab a bite or something.

That said, we should all be very worried about Kashuu? Baren just continues to look... befuddled. Normally he's super willing to cash in favors but.]
I can if you want, but I don't really see the point.
You said you'd be mine, right? It's the least that I can do to take care of you.
[such a straightforward answer
we're all getting whiplash here]
