[A surge of something close to panic hits him about here. He's in a lose-lose position, so as he makes an effort to ignore being kissed, Mukuro puts his mind into overdrive, thinking of the best way to come out of this situation with minimal damage to his pride and dignity. Further fighting might serve that purpose for some, but being repeatedly beaten down is really not the best course. Instead, taking the mental high ground might be it. So instead of struggling, and instead of returning the gesture, he'll just relax and make as if he's not bothered at all, but simply bored with Byakuran.]
