"Mmhm," Koumyou actually just smokes in silence for a few moments, here. He'd gotten that kiseru pipe right after becoming a Sanzo, before his chakra had even appeared.
But he will not (and does not want to) discuss the process of inheritance. He won't ask how quickly or slowly Genjo's own chakra had appeared. Kouryuu's 'crowning' is a topic that's never been an easy one for Koumyou to discuss, and he has no doubt it's worse for the boy who had had to stand there and watch him bleed out.
Although he has no doubt whatsoever that talking about it will happen, just as talk of muichi motsu will happen. But there's no reason to confront any of those open wounds today.
Particularly while Kouryuu's inclined to keep his distance like he is.
"...The way you've been acting, you don't think I'm real, do you?"
It doesn't sound like a question, really. Koumyou knows what their world is like, and thanks to having gotten to meet a grown up Genjo before, he even knows a little of how it's gone further to shit since his death. Koumyou sighs.

"We really do come from a hell of a world."
