[ He's not expecting the sudden touching, but instead of stiffening like he'd done in the past, Gino simply relaxes. Lets his weight sag backwards a bit, shoulders sloping with it.
Once, he used to hate this casual touch. Felt it was unnecessary, that it made him weak to want it. Now he can't think of his life without it. Without Kogami on the other side, a reassuring line of warmth. Tilting his head, he considers the question– it takes him off guard a bit. Not because he didn't think Kogami capable, but. He hadn't thought that far ahead. Content to live day to day.
Turning a bit, he glances at his partner out of the corner of his eye, brows raised slightly. ]
