"Then shut the hell up," he cuts through, not finding any reason why she finds it funny to giggle. "Maybe think about why someone so similar to EMMA and EMMA's composition wants nothing to do with you."
With that, he turns around, waving a mock wave without really looking back at her. "Welp-! Good talk. I will see you around then, doc."
Maruki, who had watched the conversation from afar, only seemed to grimace a little at the bitter exchange. "Hasegawa-san, if you wouldn't-"
"I am taking your coffee. It's fresh, right?" Zenkichi tilts his head at him- daring him to continue.
Maruki sighs as he picks up the thermos from the side and hands it to her. "With all due respect, Hasegawa-san, I really hope we get along better next time. I can really show you around the palace, I don't mind!"
Zenkichi clicks his tongue as he accepts the thermos. "Uh huh." It was concerning. Every bit he was doing was concerning, like a mind-numbing fire threatening to burn away whatever connection he had with his own Maruki. "Yeah, well...I guess you can show me around the front-- don't look at me like that."
Takuto totally didn't look at him the way he was complaining about - bright as a puppy. "Of course! Whatever you wish to see!"
Rubbing the back of his head, he flicked his gaze back at Kuon for a second before taking his leave.
Maruki turned towards Kuon- his expression brightening a little as he threw her a thumbs up.
"So! That could have gone a lot worse, so you did great!"
