[When he realized that hidiing the covers was futile he watched her face like a hawk instead, completely ready to confront any pitiful looks or sneers or knowing smirks head-on. But what he got was just... respectful neutrality. Which actually only made him more antsy.

He'd already shared so much more of himself with her in just the past week than he had with his closest friends over the course of years. It was stupid as hell, but he was trusting in her. Hopefully going through with this at all was enough to let her know what a huge chance he was presenting her with. He initially meant to leave this place empty-handed, damn it!

But if they helped, great. If they didn't, nothing would change, right? Those odds were at least ones he could live with.

He took the books and tucked them into the crook of his arm.]

Great... uh, thanks. I really do appreciate it.

[The help? The lack of judgment? The offer of friendship in general? He'd let her decide.]

[At this rate, it'll be when he's ready. That was what she decided. A method she wasn't a stranger to, but this probably was the biggest challenge of it that she ever had. In the entirety of her life. Even more here than with Ichimatsu.

Daria made a small nod, feeling a wave of something. He didn't say anything, he didn't accuse anything of her. Not right now.

Just a thank you, and a look that was miles and bounds different than a few days prior.

Time. It was just a matter of that. She just had to trust in him that it would come to fruition. There were the glaring flags that there was a lot to know, and it was probably miraculous that it came this far. But. Well. Trust. They had to trust each other enough.]

No problem. Anytime.

[Well, things were going well so far. With apologies out of the way, the best way to keep this momentum going was just to fall back into the usual rhythm... right?

He made a gesture with the paper and nodded.]

Monday, then.

[Don't bring a lunch.

Heee's outta here.]
