[ ah, sweet freedom... honestly, the best move here would probably be to leave, but kaiser doesn't know how to quit once he's in it. so instead, he also sits up and scootches nice and close up to noa, the side of the arm closer to him brushing up against him. noa may have guessed this about kaiser after their unhinged road trip, but kaiser considers one of his acquired skills the ability to judge the distance he should keep between himself and others to make his point — there is a deliberate intent to not cling, but to make his presence close, known, and unable to be easily ignored. noa can, as he pleases, imagine receiving this treatment in general from now on, including and especially in front of others. ]
So, I think it's your turn to answer now.
[ is there a rational reason to not allow it? well, there are plenty, actually, but that doesn't mean it'll convince kaiser. he leans in a little, pretending to be listening attentively, tilting his head forward in a way that has a few of the longer strands of his hair falling against noa's shoulder... again, noa can imagine this becoming the default distance kaiser will be keeping between them as he pleases.
to up the ante unnecessarily: but without leaning away, he reaches up to unzip the training jacket he's wearing about halfway down, to expose a bit of bare collarbone and shoulder. it's not a strange amount of skin for kaiser to show — if anything, it's the amount he shows in front of most other people, but kaiser is usually literally fairly buttoned-up in front of noa. ]
