"Mhm! I'm glad you're taking care of yourself, Minako. I'm sure everyone and your fans wouldn't like it if you wore yourself out." Glad that she didn't take notice of his blush, he smiles kindly. Her trusting nature was something he easily exploited; nowhere in her mind would she believe that the very stalker who unsettled her thoughts was right before her with a plan to turn her into his very own victim. "Mhm! If you're ever afraid feel free to stay over at my house. I'll stay up and protect you." Mackenzie laughed slightly. More than once the two had slept together. Nothing sexual of course, but he was more than willing to share his lodgings with her back when her life was alot rougher than now.
A friend like he was willing to give everything to her. And as time went by, admiration became silent obsession. He wanted Minako. No one else.
"Well...if you really want to repay me we should eat some dessert in Cafe Du Lait!" He mentions an old favorite cafe-parlor, memories of the two sharing a cheap banana split returning to him. Of course now they could afford he more luxurious entrees, but the thought of going back to a familiar place was always warm and such. "You can tell me all about your trip and all. I wish I could travel as much as you." he says, showing her the most earnest of smiles to hide his malicious glee.
