He didn't let just anyone into his inner circle. Keeping to himself was what he did best, besides saving people from death, but that's a given. Making friends with people was risky and the majority of the time, it left Reizo more depressed as he watched them grow older without him. For 900 years, he's been alone. Until you came around.

It wasn't like he meant for it to happen. One thing led to another and now you live in his house. It was odd having another person in his company at all times, but he enjoyed it. Reizo could help you pay for your education, but what did he earn from this? Maybe it was really just to see the way you brighten up when you smile.

"Why doesn't mine look like yours?" he mumbles as he glances from your pan of steamed buns to his. He could never understand why you were so insistent on teaching him to cook when he was hopeless at it. But he's come to the realization that he'll do anything to make you happy.
