"He can and he will, though I imagine she would put him in his place quite quickly. My registrar is a force of nature." Danta says with a grin, leaning in to accept the kiss to his cheek with blatant enjoyment (sometimes it's nice to accept affection without having a snarling shadow monster over one shoulder, you know?) "Were you waiting for anything scandalous or urgent?" he wonders, gesturing for her to feel free to take a seat or to perch on the desk. "Or is it just the pleasure of my company?"

Crossing to the desk himself, Danta pulls a face at the neat stack of papers Kia has labelled as for his attention, and he sighs and flumps down into his own seat to start absently flicking through them. "It was a pleasure to be there," he says of her party, brightening immediately at the mere mention of it. "And on the contrary, Asta was very happy, especially when he was playing security for you. Getting to deal with a bit of spice in the celebration let him vent some energy out, I think."

Lifting one paper and squinting at it, he eventually rolls his eyes and thrusts it out to Flora. "I can't read quickly - does this look important to you, or just boring?" It's some kind of notice about part of the harbour being closed at Jack Tar for repairs, as far as he can tell.
