[ For Ayaka, too, this all feels like something that perhaps has been between the both of them for a long time, just waiting to happen, but never seeing the light of day. At home, there's too much that stands between them. Propriety. Responsibilities. Time. Perhaps, most of all, Ayaka herself, and her staunch commitment to serving the Yashiro Commission and thus the people of Inazuma.
But here... Here, it's different. And she listens as Thoma tells her as much and reminds her of the reasons why, by all accounts, what's happening between the two of them should not be happening. But he's also right in that they're not at home. This isn't Inazuma. She isn't a leader of the Yashiro Commission, nor is he her housekeeper...
But is that really alright...? Do they really not have to worry, here...?
She's not sure. But at the very least, she trusts that Thoma's heart is as pure as ever, and that alone is enough reason for her to feel at ease, at least in this moment. ]
... You're right. At least for tonight, we... We need not worry...
[ She leans in, and rests her head against his shoulder. ]

This is... This is nice. Thank you, Thoma.
