Dove stiffens a bit, not out of discomfort, but more out of... some kind of confusion? Huh. Being given a friendly pat on the back like that feels strangely foreign to him.

But it seems Akira can get easily overwhelmed with emotion, huh...?

"I should apologize in that case. I wasn't aware I was overwhelming you."

...But at the same time he can't help but feel a little better, hearing the praise. How odd. It's not like it was anything special, he just chucked some glasses at the wall.

"I wouldn't say it was anything quite so praise-worthy..."

He pauses, trying to think of exactly how to describe it. He supposes if he had to describe it...

That small little smirk appears again. It's natural. Comfortable, even.

"...I simply let myself indulge in a small amount of chaos, is all."

Said with a hint of... sentimentality, perhaps?
