[Sometimes you get a group of 12 teenagers coming in ten minutes before closing time and it throws off your whole schedule by half an hour. Such is Sandalphon's situation, though he's made even later by the fact that he feels like he needs to stop at a store on the way home to buy something to appease his cat. Cheap cuts of fish are probably no good, but the really expensive stuff is way out of his range...he still hasn't figured out which ones are Izumi's favorites, but for now he just grabs a small package of shrimp—tonight, though he doesn't know it yet, he lucked out when it comes to an apology gift.
But as it is, he's still close to an hour late getting home, all the energy he had this morning completely gone after a rough day at work. He's got a pretty severe case of resting bitch face, but it's made all the more prominent by his bad mood and how tired he is. Still, he does his best to soften his expression for Izumi, who he's always tried to be gentle with.]
...Hey, Izumi. Are you awake?
[His voice is steady as he calls into the next room over as he slips his shoes off, but a bit on the quiet side, just in case his cat's asleep. He certainly hopes not, since the last thing Sandalphon wants is to give Izumi another reason to criticize him—there are already so many, after all, even if Izumi doesn't always voice his criticisms—but failing to feed him would mean every complaint would be completely warranted.]
