There's a quiet pause as Dove thinks more on what Akira says. Registering the knowing look on his face.

"...Thank you, Akira. Truly. I'll be sure to visit you more often, regardless of what I do."

He does consider Akira a friend of sorts, so of course he wants to visit more often.

He hates just relenting, but maybe, just maybe he can afford to squeeze in a longer break this time around.

"Thinking on it... If I have more free time, I suppose I'll need to sort out what to do with that free time..."

He's used to being busy, so it's a little hard to imagine what to do with free time.
