For a moment he's stunned silent, hushed by her words as he blinks at her when she offers her opinion of him. His chest warms up a little as his lips ease into a melting smile, as if simply hearing that dispelled an invisible weight of his shoulder.

"I am nothing special really, I have just been trained to allow someone else to open upto me if they wish," he shakes his head. Judging from this place's mixed reviews...he had no idea what was right to hear at all now. "Hazard of the occupation I suppose. I do enjoy talking to you."

He's been told he's a good listener too, so there's that.

"Sweltering...ah yes, I am glad this party is happening before May. Could you imagine the heat? Everyone will have to drop their layers." He shook his head. "Still...yeah, that's good. Staying cooped up in the lab wouldn't have improved our situation."

He goes for the bottle anyway, pours himself his fourth glass before holding it out for her, should she wish to accept it.
"I support you in these endeavours. Even if I feel like I will heavily regret it the next morning...which is why hydration will be helpful."

He glances to the side still, a bit obvious but that is only seeing that Wolf had most of his attention on Akane and Hamuko.

"If it weren’t for this party, which other location would you like to visit here?"
