It doesn't have to be in obvious ways. I mean, because it's Minato, it might be a little obvious, but... we can do our best.
[He has to admit that much. For all that Minato seems to be ignorant of social niceties, he has a feeling that he pays very close attention to Ken's usual behaviour, and how it may be changing. He may be that observant with the rest of his friends too - Jaime's not sure about that one, having not been paying attention to Minato's level of observation - but he knows how much Minato cares for Ken, and how closely they all had to watch over him over the past year.]
I like to ask him about his day. When you ask him, he'll tell you his day was good, and he won't be lying, so you have to ask him more specific questions like, uh... like if he had lunch with his co-workers, or if any of his customers were obnoxious, or if he's learning any new songs on his violin. He seems to think we don't care about the little stuff about his life, so the best way to make sure he knows that we do is to ask him about it.
