Ian throws the coins to a tent owner who fumbles in the air, trying to catch all of them simultaneously. He has taken a long hooded cape that has been out on display for sale. He drapes the cape on Kyrie's shoulders. 

"I am not cold," says Kyrie.

Ian knows that his actions are childish, but he is reluctant to let Kyrie walk while drawing in so many stares. However, he is not sure how to convince Kyrie to wear the cape without exposing his jealousy.

Kyrie looks at Ian pout, and his heart squeezes.

[That is totally cheating…]

Kyrie crosses his arm to hold on to the corners of the cape from the other side. He pulls it onto his body. The warmth of Ian's hands that touches his shoulder lifts away. 

Kyrie looks at Ian carefully for the first time after his confession. It would be a lie that he is not in the slightest embarrassed of what he said. However, he sees that Ian still carries his gentle smile with him.
