[He does politely let Mitsuki go, but he'll intrude upon his space again in no time, surely.]

The election is coming up, so I'm hoping to have more time after, no matter the outcome. My dearest Mitsuki, do know you're at the very top of my priorities.

[His smile is so gently apologetic that he actually catches himself doing it and looks sheepish.]

Ah, but I ought to be trying your remarkable desserts rather than carrying on!
