[ Alas, he was already sitting down! And there's also the nine inch height difference between the two, but mostly that first thing. He's more comfortable like this, though. It's easy enough to be close and touchy with someone when they're, you know... right there. But he's being cuddled! Mizuki's favorite thing!!!! Wow! Incredible!! He's a happy jellyfish.
Instinctively, a few tendrils reveal themselves to coil around Affogato's arms. Not defensively -- the opposite, really. They're loose and light like it might be to link arms with an actual jellyfish.
...
Oh. Admittedly, Affogato could've said that in any voice and Mizuki's reaction would be the same! But, boy howdy is the cuddling softening him up rather easily. Not that it's particularly hard to manipulate Mizuki. ]
Uh... [ If he were a normal person, he might tell him "I've only known you for like 20 minutes," but Mizuki just seems a little... embarrassed? Ashamed? Something. It's not shyness - he's clearly lacking in shame in that department. He's just... anxious. He did just get Affogato as a new commander, he doesn't want him to be immediately ran off because Mizuki doesn't meet his standards. He has to learn more about Affogato first! Mold himself to the perfect soldier so he'll never leave he won't be a disappointment.
He pauses, trying to think, but ultimately just deems that this isn't a choice he can make. As per the usual, really. ]
I don't mind it, really. I just didn't consider it as an option... Do you think that's a good idea.
