Kurama doesn't comment on Hiei's complaint about Koenma. He's just going to let him have that, it was entirely in the past anyway at this point, even if they could ever return home. He's not surprised when Hiei counters that he would have been underground alone, smirking as if it was quite amusing, actually.

“I imagined you would try to keep watch by occupying a nearby tree, in that case.” He does actually know you, Hiei.

The fire demon settles in beside him and Kurama swallows the conflicting emotions such a simple action brings to the surface, glancing upwards once more. He hadn't forgotten the glitches or time spent wondering if perhaps it was being a fox specifically that made the physical contact more comfortable for the other apparition. There's the briefest pause before he settles an arm more comfortably around him, careful to allow Hiei adequate space to retreat if he chose.

“You know... this wouldn't be possible in a tree, either. A fox den is hardly a hole, a good den includes multiple chambers and tunnels with various exit routes, much like any other home.” Not very different from a human house with multiple rooms and hallways when put that way. He opts to skip the finer details, knowing the fire demon is not all that interested in learning about the specifics of den creation. Still, anything he'd made in that monster form would have been a different beast from the average fox den regardless, and closer to the proportions used by human structures to accommodate his size if he was going to fit in there.

“For the record, I prefer this as well.”

Hiei hums a little sound of agreement as Kurama says he would have watched from a close by tree. Of course he would have - separation between ground and treetop wouldn’t be far enough for the fire demon to lose track of him.

And, well … that massive monster form wasn’t hard to keep visual track of by any means.

“In this form, with a particularly large branch, we may still be able to.” It’s a hopeful thing by all means, but Hiei is unwilling to admit that a den would be better. Even when he probably should, considering Kurama is there with his arm around him, settling the fire demon further against his side with that single motion. It is pleasant in a way that Hiei doesn’t exactly have words for, pressed against Kurama like this with his arm around him.

A warmth builds within him, and nothing to do with his fire abilities.

“Mn.” A pause, where Hiei may typically leave a point lie follows, but then the fire demon follows up.

“So I should keep sleeping here, is what you’re saying?”
