[very fair and valid, all the better for more fun.

Kuro's seen a lot over the years, so the hedonistic habits he's witnessed in nippon haven't really thrown him much. If anything, it was an opportunity to enjoy himself in ways he rarely allowed himself back home.

So helping Yakumo out? He didn't mind the idea in the least. He just wanted to make sure Yakumo himself was comfortable... at least as much as his current state allowed.]

I'm Kuro. It's alright, Yakumo. Nothing to apologize for.

[Kuro isn't a smiler, but there's a softness in his eyes that says he understands. His hand is still on Yakumo's shoulder, but now it slides around to settle lightly on his chest.]

I wouldn't have offered to help you if I didn't want to.... 'Sides, you're pretty cute. [The compliment is said in a slightly cheeky drawl. All Yakumo's fluster was... appealing, in a fun way.]
