[In a way, his joke IS a pleasant surprise because that has never been anyone's reaction to her power. Kiki is once again flabbergasted, yet oddly enough the tension seems to melt a little from her shoulders. Her hand in his twitches, tentatively grasping back before returning to its limp state. What a strange crane man...
As for his question, Kiki actually puts thought into it for how much it throws her off-guard. A terrible thing for Tsurumaru though because it's more than just words in his head-- for a second he's not in Songerein but alone in a place where the dawn sky is reflected in ankle deep water. "I said I would wait." It's gone in an instant. And she's taking the question too seriously. This is only a prank, after all. Right?]
I'm sorry. Being able to stay in this dream is the only pleasant surprise I can think of. And I can't expect you to protect me...You don't even know me.
