Hm? 

Is this what it felt like to have an escort?

I strangely found myself thinking.

"Asami."

A low voice whispered then.

I looked up.

"Hm? What is it?"

"Ah-"
His face turned sheepish when he saw me staring.

It looked as if he hadn't expected a response.

I see now...

            Maybe he felt embarrassed 

            because I caught him talking to himself?

"I was just wondering...

                       ...may I call you that?"
