[ oh. he sort of stops, for a second, hands hovering, a little surprised at the way viola's clinging to him - it absolutely makes his heart skip a beat, which is really unfortunate - but he's mostly just surprised. then again, aside from shrinking out of a hug just once, and even then, it was touch week, she doesn't seem to mind being as close to ichiro...? so.
he blinks and looks down at her. ] ...Nothing to apologize for. [ it wasn't forward. he's pink in the cheeks again, though, and nods... when viola says things like that it feels a little bit like he's in a dating sim? almost too sweet to be true. god. he really did not stand a chance.
anyway i'm writing this tag after having him just get severely electrocuted so i think it's EXTRA funny, but he nods, expression softening into a smile. ] I'll be careful as I can be. Promise.
[ (72 hours later: i may have broken that promise a little bit) ]
...alright. I think that's enough serious, yeah? C'mon, we've got some skating to do.
[there's still something worried in her gaze - because now winter has had a taste of loss. two of their own have gone now, and even if it's due to the fact that they were murderers, that apparently makes no large difference to viola. she'll just sigh a little bit and try to offer a smile]
Let's go, then.
[and she'll let her hand brush against his, fingertips just lightly dancing against the backs of his own, before she goes to where the skates are!]
