[ Hirato's suggestion certainly is a thought, a thought that gives Tsukitachi further ideas that... well, Hirato may or may not like. Tsukitachi'd bet on the latter, truth to be told, but when did that ever stop him from acting on the ideas he got? that's right, never.

when they part, he switches hands on his glass, only to put his free one on Hirato's shoulder to push him down to sit. ]

Hmm, how about we take it a step further?

[ the smile he gives Hirato is reassuring. warm, even, without a hint of malice in it. the most natural smile that doesn't carry a hint of falseness in it either. it's not fake, it's genuine. ]

[ further ideas? oh, no. that wasn't quite his intention. or was it? maybe it was and maybe it wasn't.

but fair enough. he'll take a seat for now. ]

I came here to see an eclipse, not to play around, Tsukitachi. [ a beat. ] But you're going to explain your cunning plan regardless of my answer.

[ which, as much as it sounds like the opposite, is more of an observation or a statement than an actual accusation. most people aren't able to tell the difference, however. ]

[ Tsukitachi might be able to tell the difference, he might not. but in the end it really doesn't matter, because no matter which it is? he'd ignore it all the same. or rather just not be bothered by it in the slightest.

and what Hirato did observe, would happen regardless--

as Tsukitachi gets ready to do right now.

that is, he takes a long sip from his glass, but doesn't swallow. instead he puts his hand to Hirato's chin, pressing with his thumb to urge to hip to part his lips and...

well, he leans down, grin wide and intent obvious. ]

[ his grip around the wine glass tightens significantly all at once and the movement of his wrist stirs up the remnants of dry red wine within, generous with its rich oaken fragrance, ever so slightly. a testament to a state of genuine thoughtfulness-- his ways of indicating when genuinely turning a concept around inside his mind to carefully consider it have always been of the more unconventional sort. it's not the sort of thing he needs to dwell much upon, hirato knows that all too well, but he has a desire to comprehend each and every little thing he comes across. for people, it's about understanding their intentions. laying them out to examine it all in detail.

the reason tsukitachi manages to keep him on edge (in a mostly positive manner) is because he often just does things in ways hirato can't because his need for structure gets in the way.

finally he lets a cool surprise wash over his features. it's true that he's not sure whether he likes or dislikes what tsukitachi most likely plans, but even so he reaches out to grasp that sloppy tie and tugs at it, lips parting slightly. ]
