He also was fond of her laughter, so she may as well be just as fond of his. Although, he was unable to recall the last time he had laughed for real. Well, aside from when he heard that hilariously made up future, except... it was real.

His fingers actually felt somewhat robbed, but only for a few seconds. His thumb raced over his own knuckles, as if to mimic her lips' touch.
He held in a breath as she only brushed over the scarf. "..y-yes, things that... Understood." he had to claim a deep breath.

"Yes. It does make sense." he gave a nod, agreeing with her statement. "We cannot be completely lax. This is not a vcation..." not until they assess the facts, really.
