Feodora smiled as her brother complimented her cooking. It warmed her heart to know that he still enjoyed the meals she prepared and it made cooking for him much more rewarding. "I'm glad you're enjoying the food. I'm normally helping out in the inn kitchen from time to time making sure meal requests from guests and residents are prepared on time and properly. And cooking for you guys at home also helped my skills a little better too," she said with a chuckle as she took a bite of her own food and began to listen to Yuuto speak about his friend. She waited, giving Yuuto a moment to tell her fully what was on his mind and how he was feeling before giving him any advice.

However, she was definitely curious as to how his old friend reacted to seeing him again after quite some time. Knowing the average person, that kind of betrayal hurts when it's already hard for people to form close bonds with one another. Of course, she did become momentarily distracted upon being told that their brother Tatsuya tried to sexually harass his friend which made the young woman narrow her eyes in annoyance rather than surprise. She was hardly surprised by Tatsuya's actions and she made it a point to frequently tell him how she disapproved of his behavior. Even if he could've remotely cared what she thought which irked her even more.

"God, he's an idiot," Feodora grumbled while releasing a sigh. "I'm glad your friend is okay and that Tatsu didn't get as far as he wanted. He's lucky to have had his business partner there to look out for him. Gomen that I showed up sometime after it happened. Nobody said anything when I did return home. Things got so busy here at the inn that day that I lost track of time. Now that really makes me feel bad considering Tatsu wouldn't have tried that knowing I was there." Oddly enough, while Tatsuya would openly tell her numerous times he didn't care what Feodora thought of him, he could tell some part of him did as he kept his behavior in check whenever she came to the family home.

Even if she wasn't at fault for anything that transpired, Feodora would always blame herself for not being there when bad things tend to happen regarding their family. "Again, I am glad your friend is okay. Though I am surprised the business partner still wanted to do business with our family after that. I'm curious as to what made them change their mind and not report what Tatsu did." That was another question that popped into the woman's mind. Well, at least she knew that Tatsuya wouldn't dare to try and harm Yuuto's friend again, not with a business partner like that, that's overprotective. It was good he had someone there but despite the incident, they still decided to do business and it made Feodora wonder could it have been because Yuuto had shown up to intervene further. She wanted to ask but she allowed Yuuto to finish his story as she sat there eating and listening.

Listening further, she could tell by her brother's words how distressed he feels regarding his friend Shouta. And she could tell he wanted to work with him on his comic as his artist even if it was only temporary but his friend felt otherwise about that. Feodora wasn't surprised to hear that but it would seem that Yuuto was and clearly didn't understand it. He wanted to be in his friend's life again but clearly did not understanding why the other was being very distant. 'It seems like I'm going to have to explain it to him after all,' she thought humorously. "I know you mean well, Yuuto but you have to look at it from his perspective too. Even though after all this time that he was searching for an answer that you finally gave him, he still doesn't trust you. He fears you might do it again and you can't really blame him for feeling that way." She momentarily sat her fork down on her plate to lace her fingers together as her eyes were sternly on her brother.

"You broke off your friendship with him and he's still hurting from that more than likely. And now that he's older, it's not surprising he's quite different as a person and probably not as trusting as he once was. Our father is a cold bastard that likes to have his way. When things fall out of line whether it is with work or his children, he makes sure to place us in positions where we can't refuse him. You, unfortunately, got placed into the worse position of having to let go of your friend. Now, you have to pay the price for that. It's going to hurt and nothing is ever easy but you have to give your friend some time to be able to trust you." She hoped that her brother wouldn't be upset with her but she wasn't going to sugarcoat anything. All actions and decisions have consequences to them. Yuuto is just on the worst end of his consequences by expecting his friend to rekindle their friendship and not be at least upset about how they stopped being friends in the first place. But she couldn't help but feel that something else was at work here and decided to pry a little bit.

"Is Tou-san still pressuring you in finding a mate or on a random occasion trying to set you up with someone?" she queried, wondering how he'd respond to that question.
