Their family stands out quite a bit in a crowd. Not even taking their eyes into account, bright pink hair tends to be quite noticeable and Azama's hair in turn is quite...attention grabbing. It does not take her long to find him there, and even less time to shrug off the strange amount of relief she feels at the sight of him.

"Father." What preamble is there to offer? That she hopes he has fun? That she expects him to behave? He will do only one of these things, and put in extra effort to spite her if she dares to say it out loud. She focuses instead on detaching one of her charms from her bracelet as she approaches him.

"Here. I expect that your usual jovial personality makes it quite difficult to find people willing to exchange with you, and thus I will fulfill my duty as a good daughter and help you get started." She holds out a little starfish for him to take and, in turn, holds out her own hand expectantly.

"...well? Surely you are not going to deny your own flesh and blood a trinket?"

"Oho~ Now does my daughter not simply look adorable tonight~?"

It makes him wanna pinch her cheeks.

In a rare show of self-preservation, Azama refrains.

(He may, later in the eve, come to regret not ruffling her hair or smudging any makeup just a titch -- she's too cute! And with her wit, doubly dangerously charming. How's a father to expect folks to keep their mitts to themselves, huh?

Ahem. Well. His baby's gone and grown up without him, he must needs remind himself constantly - especially of the part where that was completely his own fault.)

"Hm? What I'm hearing is that you'll need this jovial personality's help to meet your fill of tokens." He pouts. Arms cross loosely over his chest, sweeping sleeves folding into each other. All right. Consideration: over. "Tsk! Far be it from me to refuse in that case."

Can he be normal about his daughter wanting to swap charms with him?

Absolutely not!

(And never you mind that silly pretext she's approached him with.)

He does, nevertheless, feel an incredible surge of warmth in him as he accepts Mitama's token and proffers his own. A starfish for a starfish. At a glance, nothing has changed, but both will know the truth.

Eyes crinkle. "I hope you have yourself a wonderful night, dear. Go and make some memories to cherish, you hear?"

Maybe she'll even deign share some of them with him when next they meet for tea.
