He wouldn't be able to read them well...? The conclusion seems obvious (at least, it does when combined with some bias about how important books are), but Atsushi is hesitant to draw it out loud. He needs at least a moment or two to make sure he's not making assumptions.

Meanwhile, he should really decline the help - he'll just be a burden, and it's not even necessary! - but that would also mean saying goodbye already, and Atsushi is curious about Mikazuki, and his fellow refugees in general (and people in general, for that matter).

"If you're not too busy, I'd appreciate that. I can make you some tea, if you'd like? To thank you."

He gets up, balancing the few books he still has; Mikazuki can carry the ones he's holding. Since he seems so interested, it would feel a little rude to take them from him, anyway.

"Mikazuki-kun, when you said you wouldn't be able to read them well, what did you mean? Do you have dyslexia?" It seems a gentler conclusion than the obvious. He may as well put his question as carefully as he can.
