And as the episode showed with Geiz and Woz having history, implies Tsukuyomi and Woz might too in many ways. As an honorific, -kun is often used more as a familiarity term too in rider shows. That's been a constant across many Rider shows where they either use it as a term of endearment or for belittling, and with how Woz's opening narration was very pointed about how they are from the same time period at the beginning, that pushes the use to be a mix of belittlement/endearment to suggest history with, and with Woz, history with sometimes means more than history with that current one, as we see with Sougo.
You are trying to apply English thinking to Japanese language. That is not how any of that works. If you pay attention the term is a common horificic and it's ridiculous to read too much of it. I would say it would like trying to read a deep meaning behind one character calling another "miss." Sure, it means something, but nothing of real significance. It's a highly informal honorific, which given that she's a rebel with no status and he's a high servant of the king is not at all surprising. It's exactly how you'd expect him to address her.
