He feels Daddy withdraw a hand and gesture, which means he's probably flipping someone off. And since there's no signal to Enri that he should stop, he carries on happily, following the lead he's given. Paying no heed at all to people who might be made uncomfortable.
His own hand has slipped down to Daddy's hip, and he's thinking about moving it further down and around, which means he isn't thinking at all about breaking it up.
What he hears next is an impatient tut, the sound of skin striking skin, and then a muffled clap that jostles him back and away from Daddy, so that he stares, stunned, up (and up and up holy shit) at the newcomer.

Sen's patience for Darius is -
Prodigious.
But Darius and his doggy need to break this up before Rin comes along, because Rin's patience for Darius is just about as null as they are. And also. But also. They're here to see him (meet the family!), not examine one another's tonsils on Rin's very tasteful furnishings.
Otherwise, he'd just relocate the lovebirds.
One of whom is giving him the universal "go fuck thyself" sign.
The hose was only a momentary consideration; after all, he is again presented with the problem of Rin's very tasteful furnishings, so asking Andi for the club soda hose might not be the best plan he's had today. He takes a shortcut, instead: first slaps the extended and offending hand, and then swats the back of Darius's head.
Swatting the back of someone's head is a carefully calibrated process, timed for a moment when they are not, for example, biting another person's lower lip. The force of the blow in this case must be restrained enough to cause pain to the recipient, but only startling the other party.
He comes at it from a low angle, landing a satisfying thwack and jostling Enri out of the embrace. (He could almost laugh at how bewildered and affronted the boy looks, as though he stuck his finger in a light socket.) (Darius is a fucking light socket. He just unplugged the doggy, is what happened.) ]
That was a warning blow, as Darius knows. Better a love tap than Rin seeing you dry-humping on their sofa.
[ And, to Darius himself, with a bit of a chagrined frown - ]
Behave. I've already egged them on once today with the horse joke. Their sensibilities won't endure.
