[Slow is probably ideal, considering their state of inebriation, the still-crowded table between them (which Subete for one has entirely forgotten, it's some measure of miracle nobody's elbow has gone in the seaweed salad yet), and the chain of kisses he's chasing; his own responses are still a touch clumsy, but exploratory and slowly getting the hang of things the deeper they sink.
There's a brief waver when Hikage moves back, somewhere between indecision and simple lack of balance, but ultimately Subete manages to pull himself back on his elbows as well. There he stalls for a second, and at this angle it's easy to see that he's brightly flushed up to his ears, lighter complexion doing him no favors here.
It actually gets worse once words come into it, and he fidgets with the sake cup.]
That's-- [whether it's a lack of breath or a lack of composure he's forced to clear his throat when his voice cracks a little; Hikage gets away with his hide and seek because Subete is too busy downing the rest of his sake] That's cheating and a show. Figures you'd somehow combine them...
