The knight gazed at the neko to see how she would respond to his touch. Despite her initial objection, it was more than clear that she didn't mind his touch at all, and indeed had a dislike for water. "It's good that you're not afraid of water, as everyone needs to bathe once in awhile," he said as a means of teasing her, though his expression was quite serious as he did so. He definitely didn't want a stinky kitty that was too afraid to take a bath from time to time.
He found it amusing that for being a supposed master of deception, the kunoichi couldn't give him a convincing lie. He was becoming increasingly convinced that this was the real Miyako, and that her ability to act a part and lie convincingly simply didn't exist. He found it... adorable, actually, how a supposed master spy knew so little of the ninja way aside from the combat aspect and intrusive stealth.
"I'll teach you how to use the weapons if we come across any," he said with a nod, allowing his hands to begin to stroke and caress her as he held her closer. "They're actually rather simply weapons to use, which is why they're given to the low ranking soldiers rather than the samurai. They only provide one powerful shot before requiring a reload, however."
Gazing at her blushing face, he gave a chuckle. "If you're trying to be adorable, you're succeeding," he said to her. "I have no intention of dying... nor of letting you die... so let's fight to win, rather than to die gloriously." Pulling her a bit closer, he helped her up into his lap as he could tell that his touch seemed to make her feel more comfortable. However, in this position there was also the inevitable poking sensation that betrayed how attractive he found her naked body.
"Would you like some help with that?" he asked her, his hands sliding to her tail in order to help squeeze the water out of it and help wash it, not entirely aware of how sensitive it was or how much a neko might enjoy having her tail touched.
