Tsukikage's face falls the tiniest bit behind his mask. Right, no time like the present. They were all on limited time spans, everyone on their own momentum. The finite nature of life is all the more apparent in Ryslig and it reminds Tsukikage once more how many friends and how many family members he's lost.

But Tsukikage's much of the same. While he tries to be honest, a ninja had their secrets. They had to keep grace and composition so they can help their allies at any given time. Even outside of work in this social situation he recognises his role. So his repeating mantra of regret is hidden behind a similarly amused chuckle.

"Then I guess we are dating now. I look forward to getting to know you better, Mr. Speedwagon." God, he's now going to be dating a guy he just met. So scandalous... not the most scandalous thing he's done but still.
