Being wrong about Kurama’s intentions and his own perceptions has never stopped Hiei from jumping to the worst possible thought before. Headstrong as ever in his youth and lacking wisdom, the fire demon is quite assured in what he is throwing at his former partner in accusation. The fox had wanted to be away, to no longer be with them, so why not just stay there? Of course he doesn’t quite grasp the chaos he’d caused in the spirit world, or how his actions following had kept Kurama from any considerable rest..
But who knows if that would change his view or if the fire demon would contend that he deserved it.
Hiei sneers as Kurama points out the obvious - there had been some inkling that the fox would eventually bring this up, and thankfully he can take a few steps back now. The physical space between them calms a bit of the inner conflict, but only ever so slightly.
Still, Hiei bristles as always at being called out on his own double speak, quickly firing back with every intention to hurt Kurama in return.
“Forgive me my moments of weakness, Kurama.” The sarcasm is evident, admitting that he has been caught by his own admissions for lingering and attempting to care for the things that his former partner once held dear to him. Sharp red eyes narrow as he continues, attempting to draw a line in the proverbial sand, again, for where he stands.

“It won’t happen again.”
