[There's some irony in this statement; Yu has a great poker face, so he's actually not easy to read at all. That can make things a lot more fun when he's joking or generally being weird, but it's harder for him to show when he's being sincere...and harder to open up, in general. It's not even intentional at this point, really, but he's been doing it habitually for so many years that it's just hard to shake.
Doesn't make Charles' assessment less accurate, though: Yu Narukami will drop almost anything in order to help someone, at any given time.]
[ that actually makes him chuckle — but he is definitely casting a wry look at yu, because as much as charles has made it his thing, so to speak, to be good at reading people, knowing what they want out of him, knowing exactly what he should be like for each person... with yu? sometimes it's like looking at a blank wall. ]
Well, I got a suggestion, then, if you're so keen on helping people. I have some time to kill and nothing really to do, so... you got anything going on right now you can't postpone?
[Uh oh. Charles has his full attention now by way of being entirely too curious. One of these days, maybe it'll get him into trouble. (Or, well, more trouble.) As much as his expression can be opaque, seemingly when he wants it to, he's openly interested now.]
