[ Mikazuki is not unfamiliar with such a reaction though he usually gets that instantly on a first meeting but he suspects that Souji's only respectfully bowing because they hadn't really introduced each other until they were already friendly. Not that it changes anything for the tachi, smiling politely prior to a well meaning laugh as he thanks Souji for all the formalities since he does enjoy the attention but he (kind of) hopes he won't be spoiled by him too much since Mikazuki can get very used to such things! There are already a few other swords and one certain Saniwa that spoil this old man but he'll never have the heart to turn any of it down.

He's careful to stay still amidst their talking, only answering when Souji moves from one section to the other or just finishes up tying sashes together. ] You would guess right, aha. The tea house sometimes feels like a host club on some days...though I don't do anything quite like that. [ Frankly speaking, Mikazuki enjoys the company as much as the customers probably do which is why he may be so highly requested. He seems to have a genuinely fun time when he entertains and his charms and habitually flirtatious attitude probably help a lot. Not to mention his beautiful face but of course he is well aware of all this. ]

Ah but, you are my work Senpai! When you get back to working at the tea house I would be very pleased to learn from you. [ It's obvious that Mikazuki is still over the moon that he technically has a superior. He's had masters sure, but there's just something so endearing about having a work friend and it's Souji Okita of all people! He thinks that he'll enjoy working at the tea house much more now. ]
