He does try to be something of an open book with the majority of his emotions and thoughts, but there's always something to be hidden if there's reason for it. Even now, even outside of his familiar comfort zone of old, he still has things he hides away or lets stew in his mind before a hint of them comes to the surface. Nothing particularly bad, but things that aren't relevant or things that need to be hidden.

It'll come back to bite him later.

One day he'll learn how to slow and calm down, but today is not that day. Particularly seeing as he can't hide that smile of his own, he'll figure it out in due time. It just takes some time to learn where and where not to push things along just a little. Give and take is something he's still learning. "Ah, yes, that whole going slow thing. I do suppose I should figure that out." He sounds far too amused by all of it, but that's normal at this point. "I would say I am interested in such a thing, since there is certainly no time like the present."

Because who knows just how much time there really is, it could be years or it could be hours. This place has already confused him significantly.
