Maruki blushed at the teasing. Alas, this man didn't even seem to realize the weight of his own compliment as he pulled his legs to his chest, Yukata hanging off as his head dipped with a keen smile on his face. "Sure. I will hold you to it."

For him, huh? He pretended that those words didn't cut as deep as they should have or how Morning had said that he was touch-starved which felt less of a claim given how awkward he feels in moments such as these.

He's pulled out by his thoughts when he watches the sake bottle wiggle. His eyes widen, relaxing his legs on the picnic blanket as he nods- "Would be disappointing if it's the latter, wouldn't it?" With that, he goes for the rest of the choco piled next to the bottle and holds it out for her. "I need to find Morning too...see how he's doing but I can afford to be a little tipsy."

Hm. Looking aside for a moment, his left eye glows a faint gold. He feels Zenkichi Hasegawa's presence near them.

Maybe he could...
