Zero listens to her in silence. As he said, to hear that Yuuki has friends here - even in general - is something he's grateful for. Even more so when it's someone like Yuuri. So maybe he doesn't know the other very well (that he had forgotten), he does seem like a good person. Something which Yuuki deserves more than anything.

[Without really thinking, the hand within hers slightly shifts enough to lace their fingers. It's probably too bold of a move, but the risk has already been taken.

I'll keep that in mind, then. [About the open invitation. However after he hesitates again.]
Although. . . I only will do so if you're the one who's okay with it.
