[When Leo shifts, Tsukasa does too - like a brief back and forth. While he's originally been shifting away, he almost follows now. Almost. As if there's an invisible string connecting the two of them but... well, he catches himself before the movement becomes too obvious and he bumps right back into Leo.
Still though, the words manage to get him to blink, turning back to his Leader - if he's receiving praise from his lord, should he not accept it head on? Directly? Like a proper knight? - and he feels something warm in his own chest.
For so long, Leo has always felt so far, whether he's running ahead to a location he doesn't even know or if he's all the way up in space in his own imagination. Even if they sat side by side, Tsukasa wondered if his leader's attention was truly on him. If there was any way to connect. But with that sheepish laugh, the promise that they'll all walk together... he can't help but smile, even if he's still undoubtedly embarrassed.
Did my words manage to reach you?
There's a blush on his cheeks and he's ducking his head a moment later, arranging his bangs as if that's what he's truly doing instead of the fact that he's too embarrassed to really meet his upperclassmen head on once again.]
... Thank you, Leader. It's good to be home.
[And he glances up, a bit of cheeky nerve acting up even still-]

I'm glad you're here, too.
