Kurama takes the time Hiei mulls over a response to eat his own meal, smirking faintly to himself that the fire demon was so utterly baffled he could even be hungry first thing, when he's - predictably - the one digging in as if he's been starved for days, now that food has been prepared.

“The purpose of learning to do something the right way is so that you won't do it wrong. Regardless, I was just joking. You don't truly believe I expect to live to see the day you start washing sheets, do you?” That sounds too human for his tastes, even if plenty of demons also live with certain modern luxuries these days. Hiei had always been content to sleep in trees, and as far as Kurama sees it, probably considers it to be doing the fox a favor that he sleeps in his bed at all, when he does stay with him.
