[It seems there's going to be a lot of mutual appreciation going on today, given that he just kind of. stares at her for a while after that's out there. It's kind of hard to know whether he's going to just...start crying again, or if he's trying to come up with something to say, or what.
He doesn't distrust her, though. That isn't something people lie about. Either you're safe or you're not, and it's incredibly cruel for someone who's actually seeming to be decent (and she seems rather decent) to tell you that you're safe when you aren't. Monobear had always been very straightforward - they weren't safe - and despite the whole criminal-organization thing, there was no indication that he was going to be expected to do...anything like what was expected of them in Hope's Peak. There was a massive difference between unpleasant and safe. This place was possibly unpleasant. Possibly not unpleasant because it allowed him outside. But possibly unpleasant. Nothing to indicate it wasn't safe.
...And then whatever thoughts may have been evident across his face are gone in favor of grinning, and laughing a bit too openly and the sound is a little forced because that's what it sounds like when he's nervous, and everything is really, really fine because of course it is.]
Thank you for the concern, White-san, and I appreciate the reassurance! But everything will be just fine! Things already seem better here!
