[He does not say anything the rest of the way back because it's simple. What is left to be said are the things Midorima is working out in his head, as long as he can talk about his hurt he does not have to come clean to Takao about being glad he showed up when he did.

For Takao it will click in place, maybe this place sucks but clearly it knew what was needed when it was needed. He may not like it here but it will give him one clear reason for him being here that does not involve Moons.

The point guard manages the bags and squats to give the pup a pet.]

You're so cute. [Then he looks up at Midorima.]

I think you've spent enough time at training camp with me to know I'm not sloppy.

[His parents raised him right, though he will not think about that because then he thinks about his sister and it all hurts. Better to focus on the here and now, he deposits the bags and goes to retrieve the storage box. All this after switching from his shoes of course. He'll go ahead and put things away neatly. Few more minutes for his friend to get his head right.

Then, he's doing what Takao does best, popping up behind Midorima and slinging an arm around his shoulder, even if he has to go tiptoe to do it.]

You're quiet, even for you Shin-chan.

[Have a little poke, a friendly reminder as it is.]
