Satoru clasps a hand to his heart, looking greatly offended at the accusation. "If I was being patronizing, I'd be a lot more obvious about it, and way more creative," he insists.
He looks down at the pumpkin vine in hand, shrugs, yanks it out and tosses it away. He does not, however, let go of the cape. No, he makes a great show of leaning in close to inspect the scalloped edges, making a thoughtful little hmmm noise. Yes, this certainly is a cape, great job, it's just the closest he's ever been to an item of faint intrigue.
Satoru might regularly wear kimonos -- a fashion from a faraway land rarely seen at Courtsheart, mostly because he's not into brocaded jackets -- but even he doesn't wear a cape! This is daring! He has to admire this!
"I've never asked you before, but: is this a personal statement?" Satoru looks so serious and solemn he... might almost be asking in good faith. (Probably not). "Is this a symbol of mourning where you're from? Or is it some kind of deeper symbolism? A statement on Black Court needing to watch out for getting backstabbed, maybe?"
