Verso lets his gaze drift down at the quiet comment. He mulls over if he should offer some reply or not. His eyes flick back up to Gustave's face and decides ultimately that it's best to leave what is said alone. It's delicate, fragile -- it's best not to touch things that are healing. Poking at a wound won't make it mend itself faster, but interrupt the whole process together.
"Mm." It's his turn to make a soft noise. His chin dips when Gustave says that he's glad to see them once more. He lightly drums his fingers against the surface of the piano's cover once more. A flash of a smile at the praise. "They're giving me a bit too much credit. But I suppose I did know some things that they didn't."
He blinks, looks away, before returning to looking to Gustave.
"I suspect Lune will be arriving soon sensing some disturbance in the balance of the group." His smile widens a little more, shifting to something a little friendlier. "Then, she'll be the true leader of our little Expedition."
His hands lift up, but he doesn't raise his arms high enough to move how he's position against his piano. "But you're fine with it? Me still being part of Expedition 33?" A small inclination of his head. "It feels like that might be asking a lot of you -- and your feelings do matter. Especially in this."
