Mikka wasn't entirely sure what level of intimacy he wanted here. Not if he was asked in those terms, too shy to really consider it. But at the same time he did like the idea of sharing affection in some form, likely clear in the little smile he offers in return as he toes off his own boots before he was crossing to the desk Gustavain was sitting by to set his book on.

"Admittedly I'm not entirely sure where to start, if I'm being honest." Commented with a soft laugh. "We're leaps and bounds beyond anything I'm used to. Not that I mind that..."

But it did make him uncertain how to continue on, or to signal that he might like the idea of it.
