[Whether the apple is stolen or not, Odasaku is sure that Maruki doesn't care (aren't doctors supposed to hate apples?); furthermore, being offered an apple by a kid who's used to starving is deeply touching - a true show, Odasaku thinks, of the trust they've managed to build.

[Ryuu comes close against Odasaku's arm, so the man lifts him up under his bum so he can clutch onto him, like they've done several times now. He accepts the apple as well.]

Thanks, Ryuu. I was really hoping for a nice apple today. [He glances at Maruki and gives a little wink; mouths: "Thank you."]

Why don't we go back to my place? I've got more of that juice you like.

[And he'll just start inching out the door, allowing Maruki some time and privacy to properly clean himself up. He'll send a little appreciation/apology text later.]
