[The indignation came too quick for Kubo not to notice. It stings, again, that he was trying to be friendly and kind, but making another mistake that gets people mad at him.
Why did that make Kyou angry? He'd said he stabbed people in the back, and the way he said it, he seemed to know that was hardly an honorable thing to carry on doing in life -
'You don't have to come' is on the tip of Kubo's tongue. But if he's the one who's given the offense, well - he did act with rash pride the first time he squared off against Rico, when he made the mistake of baiting the judge. Rash pride doesn't lead anywhere better than making a mistake in the first place.
He settles, then, for a briefer, more subdued response.]
It's another story too long to tell here.
[Unfortunately, that sounds unfriendly, but is just true.]
Mother, Father, and I fought a gashadokuro for it.
