[Honestly Joe doesn't want Ahim to answer that, not out loud. He knows the answer - they all know the answer, they just don't talk about it, any of them. But there's maybe this teeny, tiny part of him that wants her to say-]
[It was something, honestly. Really something. But, oh God, doesn't Ahim know how to bake a cake? That's how you thank people! Silently! Not with these sweet smiles, and words, and delicate prettiness as if there isn't steel under there.]
[Unfortunately, Ahim's cooking skills are limited to heating water and pouring tea. She won't say no to baking lessons, however. But until then - Joe will just have to deal with smiles and words.]

[Not that she needed saving. Though the sword he tossed her way was helpful. And he helped her get out of the castle.]

You don't need to mention that.

Of course I do! It was an important event for me.
[She wouldn't be here today if it weren't for him, so even if she didn't saving - she needed this.]
I don't think I can thank you enough for it, Joe-san.
