[ Really thinking back to the basement, fair, honestly; point conceded Hikage huffs a laugh with a small shake of his head. He might be vainer than a vanity, but the miasma is not his style, nor was any of that other junk floating around in the hot tub.
Classic though, that really is a call out no matter how you look at it, but he can get out a sarcastic thanks easy enough. It wasn't really noticeable in the house but Hikage is an anachronism, even more so with a few more years between the most current set of memories he has. Given the time he'll adjust, even if his jiji taste is likely here to stay.
What it does mean for now however, is that he's off balance for their next step. He knows Subete belongs to the upper class of course (which he's no stranger to in his own way), but he apparently undershot just what that means in the modern times. ]
O-of course not. [ The bare minimum? He can't tell if that's realistic or if Subete is being Subete but he scrunches up his face momentarily anyway. He's somewhat saved at least by the waitress' swift return, and he picks a red sake cup from the selection as expected. And while this is when you usually wait to take the first drink together, Hikage needs the extra few seconds so #yolo he's just throwing back his first pour like a shot. He's already making a face it's fine, he has all night to appreciate how smooth and easy it is to drink. ]
...ha. [ A shift to a smile, just a bit lopsided. And a step back now that he's able. ] Is company what we're calling it? I was hoping for good company at least, considering how long the night will be. We might as well try to enjoy each other.
