"Okay then Fuji nee" you tell her "we can take a quick break so that you can relax and collect yourself" you inform her.
Taiga is hesitant at first but finally nods "sorry Shirou kun" she apologises "it is just that your predictions were a little too accurate in reflection of what was going on in my life currently" she informs you. It is a good thing that Taiga is unaware that you are actually predicting the future for her.
"All men fear what they do not understand, that is simply the way humans are" you explain. Once again realising that while these words of wisdom are appropriate, they also shouldn't be said by a seven year old.
"Shirou kun" Taiga says with a little pout "are you smarter than you have made yourself out to be?" she asks noting that you must have made an active attempt to appear 'less smart' as it were around here.
You reflect briefly on this, there is no real straight answer to this as Magnus has advised you to appear to be less than you are to let people be off guard and underestimate you. Also it helps you blend in and not be noticed by other's specifically other Magi, but you can;t tell Taiga nee this so you will have to give her a partial answer. After a brief pause you have come three answers that all hold a grain of the truth in them, some more than others. You could also ask if she wants to get back to her reading.

[] Not really, most people including yourself seem unnerved whenever I act like I regularly do so I try and tone it down a bit
[] Yes, I thought it would make me more likable Fuji nee
[] Yes, I am making myself seem less to be less noticeable to other people I don't want to be involved with
[] Would you like to get back to the reading Fuji nee?

And then she'd squee and applaud humility

"No Fuji nee" you reply, this isn't a lie since she asked you if you were smarter than you were pretending to be. The fact is that you are not letting yourself appear 'dumber' for lack of a better word, but just less significant. "It is just that other's are unnerved by the way I behave so I am forced to try and tone it down for them" you explain. "It is a bit off putting to be honest Taiga nee" you inform her "to be told that there is something wrong when I am acting naturally."
Taiga sits there for a few moments dumbfounded unsure of what to say, it is as if her brain is working overtime to so that she can come up with an appropriate response. Perhaps you should not have said so much given the fact that it seems a bit too much for Taiga to handle given what could be called 'load time' for her.
When the Tiger finally responds she begins waving her arms in front of her "Shirou!" she shouts "I'm sorry" not that get's your attention what in the world is she sorry about you ask yourself. "I didn't mean to be rude or sound nasty" Taiga explains, again you are a little confused as to how the teenager reached this conclusion, if she was being rude you most likely would have pointed it out to her. "Its just, its just that I was-" you cut her off.

"Taiga nee" you voice cuts across silencing her "I am not sure where you got the idea you were being in your terms 'mean as you put it, but I am not offended" you explain. "you were just curious" you inform her.
The tiger waited for a bit before she slowly nodded "are you sure Shirou kun?" she asked.You nod getting a sigh of relief from Tagai, why was she the one sighing? "Shirou kun, would you like to finish that fortune of mine you were reading?" Taiga asks, for some reason she is feeling guilty and wants to make it up to you.
<Human beings can be confusing like that at times> Magnus informs you. <Each one is different so their reactions will vary, Taiga here is a very unique child.> There is a brief pause as if the Crimson King is pondering whether of not he should continue <that is part of the reason why she is so interesting>
"I agree" you reply mentally to Magnus before looking at the Tiger and decide on your answer.

[]Sure, Why not, you can inform Taiga of what is going against her and the likely outcome of it all, perhaps you can even throw in a few hints that are more speciffic.
[] No, it is obvious that Taiga is a little creeped out and that you shouldn't read the rest of her fortune.
[] No, would you like to do something else before that Fuji nee?, put it off for a little longer
