[ he very nearly considers pointing to the empty chair next to him. the one he set-up. the one kaiser could move to at any moment. that chair. why does he even bother? isagi would never do this to him.
but, he also ranks isagi lower in his own demented tierlist because he offers his hand in fealty at all times. the most 'disrespectful' he was willing to be was when he demanded hiori join the field over kiyora. an educated guess is he's a fan of "noel noa" and thus bows his head and rarely questions his authority. that sort of loyalty is nice on paper, but not what noa seeks. he doesn't want idol worship.
kaiser's constant challenges and rebellions, small and large, appeal more to noa's sensibilities. even stupid ones like this. and he could drag this out, especially with how weak the objection is, noa does have a schedule to keep. he clicks to start the film and reaches for the pint (still firm, signs of melt showing.) then he rises from his seat, so he can slide it across the short distance, and sit by the head of the cot next to his favorite monster. ]
Comfortable?
[ like this, he's looking down at kaiser from his wheeled-throne. some leniency. everyone needs little wins to not lose their mind and this means nothing to him. ]
