[He definitely noticed that pause, and he's unsure what to make of it. Saying things "just to be polite" is not a social skill Sai possesses at this juncture, nor is the concept of being uncomfortable with something and offering to do it anyway--the latter, of course, largely because his training was specifically intended to avoid the latter scenario.]
thank you
[And because Sai is a person who is still new to concepts of friendship and caring, and who has attempted to supplant the gaps in his knowledge with books -- sometimes he still treats friendships more like alliances. and so:]
i have composed a detailed map of the city for my personal usage because of this as well if you would like, i could share it with you
[information is valuable, after all. and he is requesting something of importance from giorno, here. so it only makes sense that he'd have something to offer in return, right?]
[It's easier to--deal with this particular thing in this particular way. He wasn't lying when he told Sai he isn't good at friendships. He really, really isn't. Sometimes he has to fall back on what's familiar: that give and take, that nothing for nothing.]
[It makes this feel less like he's giving part of himself away.]
perhaps we could meet and exchange information at that time i know there's an assignment due soon? tomorrow or the next day so if you need help with that
