[ Just like that, it looks like little tears have swollen up in the corner of Elizabeth's rounded eyes. Sure, it didn't seem like they were separated at all for Elizabeth, but he can only imagine how awful it must have been for Katsura to be separated from him— again— for almost a year and he's quickly reminded of that time he left Katsura for a good length of time because he thought about what was best for them.
Ah. Katsura does need him to feel "normal" however that is supposed to work. It only makes him feel a twist of regret in his heart for even considering leaving Katsura permanently. It's a good thing that is all in the past now. Well, sort of. It was sort of him that was going to leave Katsura. It's whatever. They sorted it out when he got here.
The tears blink away. If he were talking to Zura right now, he probably would have shown more emotion, but Elizabeth composes himself and hastily asks:
"Have you been taking good care of him?"
Sakamoto might have noticed, but all Elizabeth really care about right now is connected to Zura's well being. ]
When things really get to 'im, he doesn't say much.
[Honesty in this case is probably best. Sakamoto doesn't make any excuses, although he's been feeling incredibly shitty as well.]
I make sure to check that he's eatin' right, I touch base with him in the evening and I watch over him when I can. We were separated for a while, though.
[ Elizabeth takes this all in fine and well. Separated? That's not good. It seems Zura has been functioning independently which is a big step for Zura since he is practically inseparable with Elizabeth. Another important question arises:
"Do you even cuddle him properly—?" "If his eyes are open when he sleeps—" "You're not cuddling him properly." ]

So I don't really know what happened then.

Oh? Is there a proper way to do it?
Enlighten me.

"Don't you tell anybody that, though."
"He might would get mad if he knew I told you."
Elizabeth fidgets, one flipper reaching to his cheek to rub at it, a bit tired with this conversation already. There was a lot on his mind.
"Offer to brush his hair sometime too."
it sounded more like the pet was taking care of the owner at this rate. ]

[Sakamoto hums, taking pause. If Elizabeth is tired, he knows not to talk to much.
Despite his prior inclinations.]
I've thought about that last one.
D'ya think he'd trust me with it?
[He trusts you, Sakamoto.
You know that.]

SASS, ELIZABETH. He saw and overheard a lot of things, Sakamoto. You probably don't even realize it.
"But that doesn't mean Katsura-san doesn't."
"I think he would appreciate it." ]
