[There's something really perceptive about this guy, well-hidden behind his almost flamboyant greeting from earlier. It's taken a while for Scott to notice, but with his feelings more under control, he can kind of see it now. He doesn't really think much about it though, maybe that just makes him even kinder, because he noticed his struggles early on and acted that way.

Doesn't mean he won't grump slightly when Kizuna runs a hand through his hair, but the noise is half-hearted, barely even an actual complaint. That low feeling of contentment is still the most prevalent emotion from Scott, further emphasized by the sheer fact that he doesn't even try to pull away.]

Mmm, no, that's not it. [He admits, after taking a small sip of his coffee, hands wrapped around the cup once more.] I mean the staff and some of the guests are dicks because of my low rank, but... you're not the first person that's been nice to me.

[His eyes close behind his glasses for a moment, the redness behind them dimming with it.] A lot of people helped me out when I first got here. I'd be in a rougher spot without them.
