Despite the fact that it's a perfectly normal thing to do, Chikusa seems to grow almost awkward as he's thanked. His fingers fiddle slowly with each other, twisting and curling. "It's fine," he says, a little stiff.

Getting up slowly, he takes the time to compose some of his other thoughts. "That's.... mostly all I can ask for. It became kind of obvious after a while that the things we did wouldn't be looked on favorably by most people..." You don't end up staying out of prison by being oblivious to common laws, after all. A sigh slips out of him. "But it does get tiring arguing with people..."

Thus why he gave up on one argument and asked to be paid for a longer explanation with another.

Upright now, he seems to hesitate a moment. "...Were you going to do anything else today?"
