[ She has a charming laugh - though he's surprised at himself for thinking so. Every time he thinks he has things figured out, something just has to come along and throw him for a loop. He was all set to decide, No, of course it's not that kind of relationship, who would want that with someone who's this much of an awkward mess - but if she actually finds it endearing, then he's right back to the drawing board.
And she has the cheek to call him confusing!
Still - that went a long way toward lightening the mood. He's not sure what she's trying to offer, exactly, but... maybe he can take it at face value? They're just going to talk. He'll explain his situation, he'll tell her what's making him so uncomfortable - once he figures that out himself, anyway - and she can confirm what, if anything, they are to each other. Yes. That's a good plan, which will definitely not go flying out the window at the first sign of a curveball.
He could just leave, of course. Come up with an excuse, make himself scarce for a while. But the curiosity between them isn't one-sided. He wants to find out more about her, too. For academic reasons, or personal? He can't say for certain, but at the moment that seems immaterial.
Qubit follows Elleru to the water, hands in his pockets, and takes a seat in the grass nearby. He isn't really thinking about how close he should or shouldn't sit, but as we know, his idea of a comfortable distance is significantly larger than hers. ]
