[ Shigeru might startle a little at the suddenness of it. But he sure looks amazed and oh so grateful when Chipp explains. There's a very apparent hesitance on his end to engage in this? But it was sterilized to the point where he could probably take his gloves off and be fine with touching the other. He'll just opt for now to lightly touch Chipp's hand, gripping it lightly as he gives another warm smile. ]
I can see why Nen likes you. You're really very thoughtful. Thank you. I appreciate this a lot. It's really hard for me...touching people here and doing it with gloves on doesn't yield the same amount of potency as without gloves. Nen's been really kind in helping me with it, but I don't want to just have them always worrying about me. I want to get better at it but...exposure therapy hasn't always worked.
[ He sighs as he finally pulls his hand away and just...stares at it. There's a mixture of emotions going on in there but mostly Shigeru just looks disappointed and defeated somewhat mostly in himself. But the expression is quickly replaced with another smile as he perks back up like nothing even happened. ]
Oh, I see! I hope I can do her cooking justice then!
