[It feels good to look her in the eyes and speak the words, to admit his faults in person. Not to excuse them, but to lay the path for forgiveness. It was all he would ever ask of her and he would place no blame at her feet. She had saved his life and he'd been too much of a little shit to thank her for it. It was his responsibility, not hers.
It feels even better to hear her reassurance that she hadn't begrudged him his actions, even if the sentiment was already on paper. But then she's leaning away and Genji already knows what she's going to say before it comes out. He glances at the lone kitchen staff--were they even allowed to employ children this late in the day?--then back to Angela, leaning in to whisper conspiratorially.]
No witnesses. [He holds her gaze with a dire seriousness for a moment, which is just about as long as he can manage to keep a straight face before he breaks back into a grin.] I'm kidding. Let's go.
[He's testing his luck, but maybe he feels a little reckless tonight, pecking her cheek in a quick kiss as he stands up. Innocent enough and easy to hide as little more than a friendly gesture save for the look he gives her afterward.]
