No ifs are necessary. [ Linneus' expression reflexively makes him want to return it. ] I'm already looking forward to seeing you again.
[ It's strange to see someone so uncertain of their own worth or the value of their company, and yet achingly familiar. That could be why he's quick to reassure, abolishing all doubt that whatever this new interaction between them is, that it's not a one time affair.

[ He teases by dredging up what's become their strangely comforting pet-name for him, letting Linneus have even the illusion of formality to lean on for whatever strength or sense of place it gives him. And if any fond looks are bestowed, then he returns them in kind, since Linneus has earned them in spades. ]
