Masaki smiles a bit wider at the mention of keeping tabs on her and her son. "I don't think you'll need to worry about us--but you're welcome to drop by just the same." He's a friend of Zangetsu's, after all. That's rare enough that he would be welcome around her home if for no other reason than that.
But he suggests that he should be going, and she doesn't make any move to stop him. When he thanks her, it catches her a little by surprise. Her smile softens just a touch.
"You're welcome. And if... you ever need to talk again--if your friend isn't around, I'll be here to listen too. I think what you're trying to do... It's not a good situation, but you're trying to learn. And that's important. You shouldn't have to do that alone."
