Denji's lips tighten at the corners, holding back on echoing Aki's own words back at her. She's been haggling all her life, has gotten particularly used to it in this household, waging a circular war of chores and favors. Going back-and-forth. Compromising, or promising to compromise and then not. But Aki's really taking the thing off her hands that easily?
So puzzled, Denji misses the woman's partner lean forward and make an obvious innuendo that'd normally have her giggling and rolling on the ground with the seat cushion hugged to her chest — and then she registers the insult. Okay, now that's normal. That's something she knows how to respond to. ]
Pfft, I'm the most impressive person I know.
[ The smug tilt to her lips speaks for itself as she kicks a foot out under the table to pat at Aki's heel. There, there. Third or fourth impressive isn't that bad. Consolatory, almost playful, more along the lines of a puppy nipping at an older dog's tail. She knows she's being a little shit. ]
Don't worry your lil' head off! I'll report back all the fun and important stuff we did when I get home after. [ Because somewhere in the past few hours of being helped and advised in these unfamiliar matters, she's gotten it into her head that Aki may really enjoy hearing how her first not-date went. ] What he was wearing, what kinda popcorn we ordered, if our hands touched at the same time reaching into the bucket…
[ Already, it's sounding more detailed than the reports she has to do for her actual job. ]
