[There are times that Haru thinks he's not being clear enough, and then there's times like these-- times when he wishes he could hit his head against the wall and hope that he has a skull as thick as Rin's must be. Getting Rin to really understand him is a real struggle, but like all challenges put forward by Rin (intentional or not), Haru is not going to back down.
Not fazed in the least at Rin's bravado, Haru lets his eyes roll back for a moment, but keeps his expression and voice level as he responds.]
I told you.
[Haru knows he's kept Rin at arm's length in the past, and for that he can't entirely blame Rin for not understanding or being wary in turn. But he doesn't even care for once that Rin can see into what his true feelings are - maybe just this once, just a little - as it would make this so much easier. And since Haru's already started on this path with this weird... wall block he's done, he might as well try to work on that a little.
It's not like anyone would say that Haru is the most conventional conversationalist.]
