[He can endure it, he reminds himself. He even looks a like sheepish at Eiden's expression, as though it's even slightly his fault he's upset. But... really, part of him is happy to see it, and he nods at the offer.]

You're going to spoil me, Eiden... I may struggle to stay away from your room every night, at this rate.

[It's not stated with the heat of interest, but with quiet honesty. Eiden is a safe place, his safe place, and the brunet only makes it more so when a hand squeezes his. They must look like long-lost lovers, meeting for the first time in forever in the lobby, he thinks. It warms him, helps him forget.]

Eiden... I do want that, at least for a little while. I promise, I'll be fine. [He can't help but laugh, head tilting up to chase the little bump of noses with a soft kiss. It feels so good, like he really can just forget everything.] You always make the loneliness I felt so much less. I'll... I'll treat it like the academy. If people don't notice me coming and going, that's something we can use. [He hadn't said it before, but he expects there's something bothering Eiden about this place too. At least in as far as them having an important job to do elsewhere.]

I've met a few people, yes. They've all been very kind... and a few were... fun.

[... and that reminds him of one other thing, alongside the tap of metal against teeth. Cheeks reddening, he shifts and squeezes Eiden's hand back.]

Um... can we... go somewhere else? Somewhere more private? I want to lean on you... and I have a surprise for you. [one he's not sure how Eiden will take (other than positively), so it's really better if they're at least on a couch or bed. Besides, he really just wants to bury his face in Eiden right now.]
