[ that simple act of kindness from mika brings a smile to his face. it's a worried smile, but it's a smile nonetheless. that he's willing to like... not question, that he'll let rion open up on his own time. that's important to him.
he's not used to this sort of kindness. ]
Thank you, um...
[ it is at this point that rion realizes he doesn't actually know mika's name, and he can't recall whether he was told it somewhere in this conversation but forgot, or that he wasn't. that awkwardness is coming back, and given that empatheias is... well, what it is, his awkward is palpable.
there is not much of a reason for him to be awkward, but it's there anyway. ]
