[ Oh, my. She's not expecting it when Thoma abruptly presses in close and wraps an arm around hers. She can feel the way he's trembling against her and a myriad of emotions wash over her, concern and confusion and strangely enough... A bit of endearment. Ayaka has never seen Thoma act this way.... He's normally so level-headed, stalwart in mind and spirit, and now here he is, telling her he'll protect her when he's the one shaking.
But she really does have to wonder what it is that has him so spooked... The only thing that's changed in the last few minutes is the light around them...

Let us finish sharing this ice cream together, then we can continue collecting petals. We can protect each other.
[ She scoops some ice cream... and holds the spoon out towards him. This should be okay, right...? ]
