With Hayami's schedule, the two hadn't seen each other in awhile, but the principal hadn't expected anything like this when the two would finally meet again. What had happened to the quiet boy he'd taken pity on? The one who had so much potential, that Hayami had noticed for quite some time, had evolved so quickly that it was hard to recognize him by anything other than name and appearance. The quiet rabbit had become a kingly ram, exerting power over others when he'd never held any for himself before.
Tilting his head to the side, Hayami let the silence hang between them as he thought on what to say, examining the other as though he felt he was being manipulated into something. If he'd really wanted to see how things were run, he would have been underhanded enough to sneak in as a student, using another form. However, Hayami saw no point in lowering himself to that level. He took a few steps forward to lessen the distance between them, still working to keep a calm expression on his face.
"It's been quite awhile since you've checked in with me. I was wondering how you were." That wasn't a lie. Hayami still felt that Yamada was his responsibility. He had a reputation to keep, in addition to the fact that he felt compelled to watch over anyone he had given a switch to. Their actions reflected on him. With Sonoda out of the picture, Yamada was the only one who remained who had put on such a strong show. Hayami couldn't help but be proud of his decision to choose this particular student. He'd performed much better than Hayami could have hoped for.
Staying a few feet away, Hayami turned his head away for a moment to look the room over, before returning his full attention to Yamada. The final comment was enough to evoke a small chuckle from Hayami, though the moment it left him, he knew it wasn't something Yamada would appreciate. Still, this 'king' act was a bit much. Hayami felt he was still Yamada's superior, at least when it came to the Horoscopes. It didn't matter how many accomplishments Yamada felt he had. This student could never understand the sacrifices he'd made in his life to get to his current position.
"Cross you? I wouldn't dream of upsetting what you have here, but you still owe me a bit more respect. I'm the one who blessed you with that power, after all. You can drop that act around me."
