[ It's a lie but also not a lie! Kenma is telling himself to not be bothered, which of course means he is. But admitting it would be a real wrench in his I Do Not See It operation. So.
Again he blows on the hot cocoa, and finds it less the wrong side of scalding this time. After a sip, still not looking up, he seems like he might say something else -- shock -- but then his phone vibrates. He sets the drink down first before checking, brows rising a little at what he sees before replying. This is considered rude by most people's standards but Kenma's phone is almost less phone than security. To not be able to check and reply would be more distracting. When he's done, he does slip it back into the pocket of his hoodie and resumes hot cocoa annihilation. ]
[ That answer comes fast, easy, because Kuroo is such an ordinary natural part of his life it's not something he'd conceivably ever be evasive about. After answering he resumes the cat like sips at the cocoa, slowly starting to thaw from the inside now that they've been in the shop for a while. ]
[ Questions about Kuroo are easy and welcome in a way. Far more than anything about himself. Kenma sets his drink down to take a curious bite of his food, savoring the lightness of it -- not too sweet but bright in flavor. Up to the expectations set by the online reviews certainly! ]

Who was that?
[Tsukki won't protest the interruption.
Nor will he squash curiosity. Kenma introduced the topic, after all.]

Tsukki can't say he minds being temporarily pre-empted. He'd do the same for Yamaguchi.]
Thought so. Is he still out of the country?
