[ kaiser will be proud of himself for not talking first, although perhaps he has no reason to be. the point is that he always can keep his mouth shut and simply elects not to!
anyways, one thing to understand about michael kaiser is that sometimes he is utterly reckless and unrestrained in what he says, while at other times he is incredibly precise. it's part of keeping people on their toes that he switches up between these two modes seamlessly and erratically, often within the same conversation multiple times — always keep them guessing! this time, though, his phrasing is very specifically chosen. ]
Mmm... not fond, no.
[ kaiser is guessing that noa would like him to be more specific, which is why he isn't offering up any more details. instead, he shifts underneath noa, breathing a little more shallow on purpose, but otherwise seemingly unbothered by their current position. rather than pushing away, he stops putting bruises into noa's skin and slides his hand up noa's neck to the back of his head, fingers brushing through short strands of hair. not many people have petted noel noa's hair, probably, but this has not actually actively occurred to kaiser.
he's also going to advantage of the fact that he's pretty sure noa won't be too rough with his leg — when taking into account his future, could this not possibly be one of the most valuable body parts in the world? — by loosely hooking his ankle between noa's legs to keep him in place. it's an oddly intimate gesture, this tangling of bodies, but there's an air to the way that kaiser does all of this that makes it seem like he's ignorant to how most people would read emotional closeness into all of this. he's just locking noa down, because that's the point of springing a trap? noa's move now to detangle, kaiser thinks. ]
