As much as Tachihara loves to follow orders, he had a stubborn streak that comes out when they argue over humanity. Forcing him to change his mind is something that will take time -- centuries, perhaps. Jouno is well aware that his opinion isn't about to change over lunch, and while he doesn't mind making Tachihara uncomfortable -- delights in it sometimes, even -- he knows that it isn't worth ruining a good meal over. For now, he's content to let it go.
Mouth full, Jouno nods his head. "We should ask." Swallowing his bite, he adds, "Modern conveniences might not be the worst thing to happen to the forest. A refrigerator, for one, might be a pleasant addition..." Still, saying it doesn't make it possible. The forest will remain as it always has, a sanctuary away from the humans and what they invent.
