[Ramirez truly has no idea just how good Homura is at that very thing. He's done it often enough to read the tension in the other man, the awkwardness evident. Yet there's no disgust among the confusion, and Homura is more pleased by that observation than he might normally be.]

You're simply a bit nervous, correct?

[Homura grins easily even as he makes the potentially embarassing assertion. He's looking forward to seeing just how Ramirez will react, and teasing him further--though innocently, without his typical relentlessness.]

[Okita isn't to be left out, however, and Homura addresses his gratitude with a light laugh.] There's no need for thanks. I think it's a fair assumption to say that all of us truly want to be in each others' company, moreso than anyone might have expected.
