#no no iit was great It just gave me an idea for why opacho didn't like being called weird and how kids are jerks that upset my baby

Opacho knew he didn't mean it that way, but she can't help the instinctive reaction to grow defensive and flinch at the word. Those kids and the things they said to her that day, thought about her that day… it was something that stuck with her and really hurt her feelings. She hates being reminded of it.

Still, it wasn't fair to Kamui.  Her lips tremble while she pouts and slowly Opacho nods her head mindful of his words as he awkwardly apologized and explained himself. It takes the toddler a moment to calm herself down, squeezing her tiny palms into fists at her sides and trying to find something else to focus on.

"Opacho… sorry too," she apologizes while glancing down at her feet. "Opacho didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, just don't like being called weird." Deciding to leave it at that, the child moves on to the final thing he says, nodding in agreement. "Opacho like talking to spirits, Opacho learns a lot when she talks with them. If there's any spirit you want talk to, Opacho can help." She grows quiet for a moment, then shuffles right back beside him, tiny hand grabbing at his pants leg. "Can we get more food? Opacho still hungry."

Kamui tends to thoughtlessly speak his mind, and given who he was usually around it never posed a problem. His sister was the same as him, they insulted each other all the time after all. His men were also pretty thick skinned too. So, he hadn't expected what he said to upset her. Blue eyes would just blink in confusion, trying to figure out what to say.

''I didn't really mean it in a bad way. I'm weird too after all. I just think you're really unique compared to other humans I encountered on this planet.''

Kamui wasn't really one to apologize, but making a child cry made his chest churn uncomfortably. ''........I...... I'm.... sorry.....'' The apology came out rather awkwardly, averting his gaze from her direction.

''Talking to dead people is a really cool thing to do though, never met anyone who could do that.'' He was sure there were millions of spirits of people he killed that'll love to curse him right about now.
