Thanks to Rae stepping up and easing the situation for us, the next few minutes we were inside their home were spent just expanding on the common ground that we reached.
Despite my girl getting very embarrassed at our sudden team-up of showering her with our praises, she still managed to one-up us by pulling us both to the living room where the girl asked us to hug her as if we were her parents.
Alright. That was pretty weird. Nonetheless, I could tell that Rae was simply expressing her joy in finally clearing up the blunder that I made last week. Although Yoko-san would probably continue to be wary of my presence and keep her distance, at least the disdain in her eyes lessened considerably. I still needed to be careful around her though, lest I draw her ire. She was pretty spooked last week, after all.
