I shouldn't laugh, but I know I'm a failure in your eyes
Ronin's lips part to argue, only to find himself caught in the very same good point that takes the Doubletake unawares, and he can only blink at her a few times at that. "I... I'm not infected, Flora. I promise. I only want you to feel safe, and to be somewhere that will make you comfortable," he tells her. Whatever momentary fury he may have felt at hearing that Hotaru had sequestered her away, too, it has long turned itself down to a simmer. (Granted, his thoughts are very much swinging towards the Remi and Hotaru side of things, so that might be why).
As she finally asks him a question he's confident he can answer, Ronin sighs hard enough to drag his shoulders down a few inches, and he nods. "Of course I can walk you home," he tells her softly. "I'm sorry, Flora. Everything sort of blew up over the past hour or so." Smiling apologetically and offering her a hand to help her to her feet, the Knight will draw her into a hug should she accept it, his brow furrowing.
"Is there anything else you need? I can bring it to your place."
