( There's a silence that follows when Mutsu doesn't answer right away. One might think he's actually passed out at the counter but really, he's just thinking. Or at least, thinking the best he can. Honestly, he might be dozing off a bit too.
So he's already a winner? He'd agree if he'd actually made any new friends but-- ah, yeah, there. In response to reconnecting with an old one, he gives a content sort of hum. )
Mhmm. ( He might be turning his head just a bit more to lean into those ruffles. ) I already found ya a while ago, though.
( At the party. Even if he's been adamant about separating Tatsuma from Ryoma, it's clear he still affiliates them closely. Even if they're different, he's still an old friend of sorts. )
