[ and he appreciates that, really!! which is also why he is being extra quiet during their shared few hours in the library, in fear of saying anything wrong or annoying that could have an effect on mitsuru.
it is still strange, being able to be around others like this - not having to duck his head low when passing through busy streets for fear of anyone recognising him from the bounties plastered across crumbling mud walls, and certainly not needing to dodge hails of bullets or being chased out of town. seeing the same faces every day - how long has it been since he was able to do that? too long, which is why he treasures these little encounters where he can, and why he's so afraid of messing it up.
that doesn't keep him from answering her back, of course! especially when she asks a question like that. ]
Uh huh! [ his gaze flicking up over the top of the book, looking even more impossibly blue without the tinted lenses in the way, he gives mitsuru a wide, happy grin. ] The storyline keeps turning, I don't know what to expect!
[ so interesting enough for him to be so relaxed without the protective coverings ... even if it is only his eyes. it wouldn't be such a big deal for anyone else, so the fact might not even make itself very clear to others, were it not for the odd iridescence across the surface when he tilts his head, glancing at the book she is holding. ]
