Breathe Slowly [Toki, Shuten] - Page 2 JBWWmbT

HINAMORI TOKI

"Well, I'm not so sure there's much distinction between 'on duty' and 'off duty' right now, or for the foreseeable future. But if we have the free time, I'd be more than happy to."

The offer of the sake was a little odd, in his mind, if only because Toki wasn't really one to drink much. Besides, what if something demanded his attention? Then again, that might have made it a good idea. He did need rest, and if something would need him, he'd jump into it without really giving himself a chance to actually recuperate at all. With that in mind, he nodded at the offer, and drank the sake, his expression admittedly showing how inexperienced he was at this sort of thing as he sputtered a bit. Still, he got all the alcohol down.

"That's pretty strong, wow."

It didn't bother him how Shuten ate, really. It was simply a matter of food, and given the exhaustion of right now, he wasn't going to chide her on something like that even if she had been particularly rude about it. It wasn't Toki's business.

Shuten gave Toki a smile as he spoke of a lack of distinction between on duty and off duty. She had to admit he was quite right, after all they didn't have much structure at the moment. Perhaps there would be some with eventuality but for now...? For now, there was only what they could do and what they couldn't do. The Suika soon returned to her ramen, some of her more Suikan manners shining through as she continued to eat; a bit more uncouth. However, Shuten still did have some manner of lady-like air to her, but it was slim in comparison to a family that was much rougher around the edges than any Shinigami nobility could ever manage. Eventually, however, she watched as Toki drank the small dish of sake. He sputtered at it, and honestly looked like someone hit him. Shuten blinked at the reaction, but did slowly realize he'd never had sake before. Shuten watched him for a few moments longer, slowly slurping up some noodles in the process.

"Here... "

After Shuten had swallowed her noodles, she carefully moved her hand over to be right over the sake dish Toki held. He may not be able to see much without his glasses, but it was hard to deny that Sake seemed to be flowing from Shuten's finger; straight from it. The flow didn't last long before Shuten ceased its flow. What she made had all the same notes, flavors, and smells of her sake but with the exception of a much, much lighter alcohol content. She wanted Toki to enjoy the drink, not get punched in the face by it.

"Try that. It was a little rushed, but... it should be much lighter than what I gave you earlier. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to give you something you weren't used to..."

The strength of the initial sake was remarkable; Toki could tell, even having coughed up some of it, that it was going to have no small effect on him within the next hours. But he'd accepted it knowing that was probably ideal, just to force himself out of work. Part of him felt that maybe he should put on his glasses, that it would at least somewhat mitigate his impending inebriation, but no, he would be fine.

Probably.

"Don't worry about it. Though I think some people might be a little surprised to follow up liquor with more liquor, wouldn't you say?"

It was only a light joke, however, and Toki drank the lighter alcohol without near as much issue. He definitely still made a face that made it obvious how little he drank, but it was a far cry from the coughing fit of the previous drink. This one, at least, was almost pleasant.

"Not that I mind."
