[ It didn't take a rocket scientist to see how quickly Koujaku's expression changed. He noticed, the small narrowing of his eyes, and as Mizuki opened his mouth to question it, he was quickly interrupted with a slick remark. ] Hey. I do my best to stay out of trouble. At least I won't go looking for it. [ He returns Koujaku's gesture with a small nudge of his own. Yeah yeah being apart of Rib was and protecting his turf had nothing to do with this okay.

But oh boy. Those ladies. ]

You don't have to worry about me. I've never been good with that sort of thing-- not like you, at least. [ Another chuckle, but this time he takes a moment to actually sip from the drink in his hand. It felt a lot more refreshing in good company, and Mizuki was able to smile widely at that. ]

Sounds like a good idea to me. We're probably gunna to have to think of somewhere else to take him besides here, though. [ It may be a regular place for him from now on, but he can't exactly see Aoba enjoy this kind of environment. ]
