[ There's a high chance he keeps the calpis in the fridge exclusively for Mizuki so it doesn't take him long to fish out a bottle for her and pour himself some green tea, moseying back to the living area to set the drinks on the coffee table and plop down on the couch.
Then he looks over at Mizuki and is definitely doing that beat too long dad stare where he's just happy looking at his daughter and being proud of her. Ha... she really is a working adult now, isn't she? ]
[ She sighs out with a forearm over her eyes, so she doesn't quite catch the way he looks over at her. Food will come in a moment, once she takes a minute to kick back and chill. ]
Bunch'a annoying crap keeps piling up back at Lemniscate—right when I was hoping for an easy few weeks, too...
[ Mizuki trails off, lifting her arm just enough to peek at Date. ]
I, uh, forgot to charge Aiba too. Sorry. That's on you tonight.
[ Hence the lack of a yellow glow in her left eye. ]
[ The more things change, the more they stay the same. He really was surprised when he heard she was still in charge of Lemniscate when he learned what he missed out on. It's not that he thought she'd give it up but it's more... this is what her father left her, but is it something she really wants?
But those are thoughts he has on his own, not something he'd tell Mizuki about so instead in reply there is β ]
Miss CEO putting in the work, I see. Can't you just make your underlings do it?
[ Then at the thing about Aiba, he waves a hand and reaches for the bag of food, digging in it for the burger for himself. ]
Don't worry about it. She'll be fussy but I'll go stare at some bugs or something tomorrow.
[ He was absolutely still working. He's a workaholic, can't stop working unless Boss forces him to go do anything, everything else. The only real thing he does that's not work is look at porn. Which is not a hobby at all, to be honest.
But he is going to Lie because this is Kaname Date and he has an image to maintain. Him? Working? Pfft. ]
Absolutely not. I have way better things to do than waste my evening on work.

Trust me, I would if I could, but I guess some things still need the prez around for.
[ Said with a hint of sarcasm; obviously there's a lot Mizuki has to be present for, but man, sometimes she wish she didn't need to be. ]
Were you still working?

I was watching bikini videos.
[ Someone slap this man. ]

Mizuki's face, of course, falls flat. ]
What, don't have enough to do? Maybe I should dump all my paperwork back at ABIS on you—that'll keep you busy.
no subject
So, Date grimaces a little. ]
I don't want your paperwork! I have enough to give Ryuki in the first place.

Don't you worry, Date! I'll let Boss know first thing in the morning that you've agreed to take on my load.

You're still a menace, you know? It's like nothing changed.

Speak for yourself.
[ Likewise, she takes a bite, and then: ]
Would'a thought you'd get over being a pervy horndog after all this time.

Being a pervert is part of my charm. The people love it. [ no?
that said β ]
But I'm still the same and shouldn't that be reassuring?

Mizuki briefly levels a narrow-eyed look his way, but just as quickly leans back in her seat with an exasperated exhale. ]
I guess. At least I know you weren't replaced by a pod person or something. Probably.

You are soooo β you could just say you missed me, you know!
