That would be nice. [ TBH he has thought about bringing a sleeping bag in, or even a blanket, but that would make his intentions too obvious, wouldn't it? Not like his falling asleep back there every day hides any of that. ]
Once winter sets in, though, I've got one of those puffy winter coats. It'd be like wearing a sleeping bag.
[ I just googled this but laughs, these exist, he's going to buy one of these ]
[ There are scientific articles about the health benefits of sleeping on the cold, hard ground but I'm half asleep myself and so is Minato so he just digs out his phone, opens up Google, and starts tapping in the relevant search terms to bring up the articles, pretend he's showing them to her just to prove his point. It was a joke, but actually not really. He's put thought into this before. ]
[ Yea, she can police his sleeping habits at a later time, for now, he's going to take advantage of hard ground and sleeping bags with sleeves.
Doesn't smile though. ]
"Sometimes"?
[ He doesn't mean it in the "What do you mean? I'm funny all the time!" sort of way, but the "I'm never funny ever, don't slander me like this" sort of way. ]
[ Personal spaceeeeee... He has no defense against shoulder pats either, so instead of pulling away, he sits there until Angela feels awkward enough to stop on her own. ]
You can be less active and I'd still interact with you. Like when you sing and stuff.
[ It takes a lot for people to fall from his good graces, but Angela looks glad enough that he doesn't feel fit to mention that. He heaves a sigh, finally straightening up and leaning back against his seat. ]
It sure is a web. We're stuck together no matter what.

They should really just give you your own bed here.
Or at least a sleeping bag in the break room...

Your posture is already...questionable, at best.

At...least you're being scientific about it.
I still can't say I approve, but I'm going to give you control of your own body for this one.
[Still smiling tho.]
You're really funny, sometimes.

The less you try to be funny, the funnier you are, Minato.
I think that it is a special talent.

Aren't you glad that you can make me smile and laugh, even if it is not on purpose?

Selective affinity... Makes sense. Even inert elements can interact in the presence of highly active ones.
no subject
Inert elements!
[The nudge on his arm graduates to a pat on the shoulder.]
There you go again, being hilarious and delightful!
I will say that that is a good way of putting it. I am glad that I am active enough to coax interaction out of you, Minato.

Should I tone down my level of activity for you, then, Minato?
no subject
Don't change for my sake. I'm saying it doesn't matter.

I am glad to have stayed in your good graces all of this time.
If there is anyone I am glad to be entangled in this web with, it is certainly you.
