Homura didn't reply to Gin's most recent evasion, only finishing off his lunch. And then a surprise, or perhaps not, as Gin actually did answer one of his questions. Did that mean he felt it was safe to give that information? Or was he frustrated that Homura wasn't relenting?
Was the answer true, or was Gin lying?
In the end, it seemed Homura had learned very little, but he knew the most important answer of all. The answer that mattered only to the demi-god, and that was Gin's potential, if the man could be used for Homura's own purposes.
A definite maybe.
Oh, Gin was talented no doubt, and Homura loved skill. But Gin was crafty, perhaps too sly to be kept under the war prince's cover. Still, with time, the concept that Homura so very rarely worried about...
"Not at all." Homura's smirk was only visible for a moment before Homura sipped his water, a low laugh echoing against the walls of the cup. "I too am a very selfish person."
