Daichi could see that several warring thoughts were at odds with one another in Aika’s mind as she considered his words. Whatever she was thinking was well beyond his ability to infer, which certainly wasn’t anything new to him. Still, he had hoped that he was at least making some progress towards defusing the situation before any potential animosity among the group had a chance to take root. All he could do was shrug when she voiced her surprise about the conditions of his and Sarah’s time together. “She wasn’t looking for anything more than a physical activity to relieve stress.” All this was new territory for him, never before having to abate the anxieties of one woman because of something he had done with another. Before the world ended only hours before, he was lucky to garner the attention from just one, which made him wonder if all this attention was simply a result of diminishing alternatives.<br/><br/>His brow lifted in surprise with the way she phrased her comment on what she thought he deserved. The entire thing given far more meaning in the way she included herself into the remark. Or at least that’s what it sounded like in his head. Had she just invited him to…? Daichi turned more towards her, his lips curled into a smile that was intrigued and inquisitive while still having a certain lighthearted quality to it. “Aika… was that… an offer?” Instinctually, his violet hues flicked down and noticed how soft her lips appeared to be. For a long moment his eyes remained fixated there as he wondered if he had completely interpreted her words or if she would confirm his suspicion either through words or deed.
