Hm...you're saying you wouldn't do that for just anyone, huh?

[ He wouldn't, but Sumina has a much more empathetic soul than his own. Regardless, he doesn't want to dwell on that too much at the moment, especially when she offers her answer, even if it's not exactly a yes or a no. It's a bit weary, yes, but also...perhaps a bit flirty? Or so it sounds to him. ]

Something tells me you've been working too hard anyway. You've been such a busy little mouse, haven't you?

[ Close as they are, the chuckle that leaves him brushes her skin, and a low purr rumbles in his throat once more. He can't keep the purring at bay for long in her present. ]

Sooo....can I kiss you?

[ Look at him, being such a gentleman. ]
