[His eyes just sparkle as he tears his attention away from Mitsuki and politely focuses on the baked goods. They look divine, they truly do, and he's eager to try them.]
Matcha? No, to be honest I don't think I've had the pleasure. I'm sure this will be a marvelous introduction to it.
[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!
[Hopefully he likes it. He doesn't see why he wouldn't, honestly, because he feels he has a good idea of what Albert likes by now. Still!
He glances away, feeling flustered even though it's nothing he hasn't heard before. Albert is nothing if not charming and honest, and he's heard the man talk about how wonderful and important he things he is, but sometimes it can still be overwhelming. Sometimes it can be too much to imagine him having such an impact, and he fidgets a bit before he looks back up and meets Albert's eyes.]
I know - but hopefully the outcome is good! You've put so much work into this to just get nothing.
[But, right, they're here for a taste test. He grabs one of the chiri-chocolate macarons, holding it out to Albert.]
