Well Maruki was just about to let go but it seems she needed that support regardless so he obliged and took to helping her out until she needed the distance. His heart melted at the touch, her hand was warm. The way she said Uh oh shouldn't have made him giggle but it did, eyes half lidded as a wide grin showed on his face. It's when he sees her lean down that his eyebrows hike up behind his now slightly askew. "No- no, it's alright you don't need to..."

Nevermind him, she was going to make sure his snacks were saved from peril. "...thank you," he continued softly as he accepts the package from her and bunches up the top with one hand, sealing it away as he shoved it into his open bag.

Her proclamation only further made him move his hand up to her shoulder- giving her a moment (or giving himself a moment given how fast he got up when he really shouldn't have) to stabalize herself. "Years?! I suppose that makes one of us-" he opens with a self-deprecating smile. "I go...go way too overboard on my end." He shakes his head as he pushes past his own sluriness.

"You mentioned dango, right? Some food in between will be good. Food and water will be good." Then pushes slightly as he leans in, making note of the blush on her cheeks. "You okay holding on like this?"
