[ He watches Shiro chew on that, and realizes- oh yes. He is afflicted right now. Perhaps that was not the best time to ask. There is a little pang of guilt, but the smile on his face doesn't falter at Shiro's answer. ]

Of course, Shiro. There's really no pressure, I probably should have asked you when you weren't put upon by such a strange kind of affliction. So I do apologize for putting you on the spot, I hope it doesn't stress you too badly.

Regardless, take all the time you need, and even if the answer is no, I'm more than happy to continue our friendship. Most importantly, please do not worry.

I may add that there is also no time limit on this invitation, so don't rush to decide.
