Kiba snorted with mirth over Adela's choice of punishment, and at her small admonition of doubt, he looped an arm around her shoulders.

"Nah, personally I would've written it on his forehead, so I think he got off pretty light.." he grinned, then squeezed her shoulders a little tighter. "You're good at this whole.. stand-in sensei thing. Have you looked after kids before?" Kiba only had a little experience from looking after the younger generation of his clan, but Adela was much more adept at it than him, and as far as he knew she had no clan younglings to speak of..

He liked being on good terms with Adela again - hence the comfortable physical contact - and liked seeing her in this kind of environment, too. She seemed to be very happy, and for some reason, that made Kiba happy too.
