The more he listens to Senku, the more Roland finds it amusing how well-suited Senku actually is to the task despite his settling for a more subdued role in the future.
That's precisely the kind of attitude one needed to flourish, after all; recognizing other skilled peers and wanting them to succeed in that regard. Isn't that what a leader does? These he keeps to himself, but the smile on his face is unmistakably intrigued at how things will turn out for Senku when he eventually finds himself back home.
For now, the offered cup is met with the gentle bump of his own. "To the Kingdoms of Ishigami and Evermore. May the land always be at peace." He sips from it to seal the deal, and with that, the two representatives of nations they've come to call home were bound inextricably by a promise transcending universes. It isn't evident by the way he keeps to his drink, but Roland is incredibly pleased. More than he ever thought he'd be.
"Thank you. And likewise. You've gotten me excited about imagining you taking a trip around our country, heh. There's a lot you'd like. Just make sure no one but me gives you the grand tour, okay?"
