[Kidou had honestly intended to extend the invitation a while ago. But with just one sentence, Genda had managed to rearrange Kidou's entire list of priorities, and given the vague unease during their subsequent meeting he just hadn't found the place to bring it up. If he made Genda feel pressured right now, he wouldn't get the desired result.
Kidou's opinion of Genda wasn't ever going to change; one only had to listen to the way Kidou talked about him to know how he felt. He was always going to have the same fond attachment to him that he'd always had, and he honestly wanted his friend to transfer to NMS. But, given when Kidou believes Genda is from (no matter how inaccurate it is), this needed to be addressed very carefully, and he'd probably only get one chance to get it right.
All in all, it's for the best Gran doesn't mention what Genda said.
His eyebrows knit a little more, watching Gran's brief hesitation. His friend seems unsure about something, but Kidou has no context for it. Is there something he wants to say but isn't, or is it that he's trying to find the right way to say it? When Gran continues, the latter seems most likely.
Kidou focuses all the more on whatever Gran says next, accepting the statement with a serious nod. Gran's right, without any question. He doesn't need to go into any further detail about it.]
I will.
[Technically, he'd already indicated that, but this time he adds resolve to his words. It's a statement, not something closer to an admission.]
