Still, to err is human. You've got a lot to concern yourself with, but...I'd say a little, tiny slip-up every now and then isn't out of the question. I've allowed myself the same privilege, if it means keeping my sanity going. Maybe not in front of too many people, but...one-or-two, perhaps. [He shrugs.]

You've seemed relaxed now. Even then, I can see some humanity left in you. Just like how others have seen humanity left in me, and they've always advised me to never let that slip away. No matter how strong your responsibilities seem.

And, for my part, I've preferred meeting you like this, Miss Satou. Expectations and kami are nice and all....but I approached you with the admitted intent of getting a beautiful woman sitting alone to enjoy herself. [His tone turns a bit wry.] Perhaps as a bit of a bad influence, but at least I'm honest about it.

[Still, he sincerely smiles at her.]

The smaller the gap we have between ourselves and humanity, the more beauty we can see. It's a careful balance, but.
I'd like to encourage it, every now and then - even in public, just like this, when no one's looking.

No one except a fellow non-human, I suppose.
