[He looks a little surprised by the "you didn't steal anything from me" comment, because in his mind that definitely implies that they've done it already. Which good for him, and that's a relief, but that relief is short lived.
He couldn't hide the affect that "you only have to be aroused for it to count" has on him even if he tried. Even if he was more awake, and wasn't in the middle of apologizing for something he viewed as a grave mistake. The rest of the color in his face drains as there's a sharp, unpleasant twist in his stomach and his expression darkens some. Not with anger, but with something that looks a little more like pain, or like he's going to be sick.
He very, very clearly didn't know that. And equally as clearly wishes he had. He looks away from Shuichi, offering him a sort of non-committal sound at first and a nod before commenting.]
Guess that makes sense, yeah...guess. I was worried for nothing, then. [Nice. Great. How fun.] Thank you for being so understanding, Saihara-chan...I'm really relieved.
