Maru half expected her to leave then and go back to enjoying herself at the party. It surprised him when, after she let go of his hands, Madoka moved to his side. He moved his arm so that she could get herself comfortable. Slowly he lowered it again to rest just behind her back.

"Um... yeah. I'm still happy if you sit here with me." He did want to tell her she should go and be with her friends, but if she wanted to sit with him for a little bit he was more than happy with that. He wasn't sat where he was because he wanted to get away from people. He didn't mind the company at all.
