@prncessisms He puts his book down and turns his attention to her, holding her face with his other hand now.
"Good girl. I missed you, too. Good that you found your way back home. Come on."
He parts his legs for her to kneel between them.
"I'm going to teach you how to greet your lover."
@prncessisms He simply just stares at the princess after she does such a bold move... but given that its her... he continues to read, unbothered.
However, his fingers to cup the underside of her face, caressing it.
"... did you miss me, Sonia?"
@prncessisms "... it wouldn't be the first time."
he eases up with his staring and smirks.
"Well, I suppose it cant be helped if you're standing in the presence of perfection. But I digress. Did you think no one would notice your lack of lingerie today?"
"..."
(He relaxes as she approaches him and his shoulders finally release the tension.)
"Mother. That's just my face."
(He turns around and takes his frames off to look at her.)
"A slow day for you to come see me. Not that I mind... are you alright?"

"I am not tense."
(He calls back, looking over to her and sighing. He actually, indeed was. He waves his mother to come closer to him and closes eyes.)
"I am fine, Mother... Why do you think I'm tense?"

@prncessisms And its mostly because its the time when she gets most excited and acts like herself. Which usually would annoy him, but the act of her trying to be royalty is far worse.
"Read it to me."
@prncessisms Togami already knows what she's into, so it doesn't surprise him in the slightest what she brings over. The heir pats his lap and boldly, grabs her hips.
"So who's the killer you're obsessed with this time, Sonia?"
In... extremely strange fashion, he takes a strong interest.--
@prncessisms There shouldn't be anyone around that'll see him and the princess together in such a way that'll get them questioned... Or better yet, shatter his own visage.
"Hurry up, before I change my mind."
@prncessisms Normally, he's a bit more... forgiving because of her status. They've been to higher status parties and he naturally... feels a bit more understanding.
"Reading is usually all I do. Hm. Sonia, pick a book and come back with it. We can read it together."
It's late enough.--
