"I am sure he could...I just don't want to make it seem like we have ditched him." He says but he knows Ichinose wouldn't understand. She doesn't know about the night when Morning passed out in the hallway, reaching for him. To have someone else he spoke to would ultimately be worrisome given his attachment.

Also simply remembering those grey eyes looking up at him from their hug was still prevalent.

"Kanpai~!!!" He answers to Ichinose's calling with enthusiasm and clinks their sake together.

With that, he takes an easy swig, unsure if he will just end up going overboard again. He supposes he can spoil himself a little bit here and while Ichinose recovers, he has his cup out for a second round for the other to pour into.

A hint of goal still followed through in his expression.

"...Are you having fun?"
