[On the way to the self-checkout stand, he does snatch up a bag of powdered donuts. He refuses to talk about Hope Estheim without some sugar in his system. It'll keep him from getting... well, irritated. Frankly, what happened before he met Noel is none of Noel's business. If Noel wants an itemized list of everyone Kaworu has ever kissed, that would take a few days to write up.
Kaworu sighs inwardly. He tells himself to stop being so defensive; it's not conducive to communication. Trying to empathize with Noel is more important.]
--I'll take care of it.
[He slips away from Noel while they're checking out and fishes out his wallet. When he opens it up, a few bars of "Ode to Joy" play for him, tinny and off-key. As much as he loves this musical wallet, the tune just scrapes at his nerves today. He pays for the groceries with a plain debit card.
Outside, the fresh air has never smelled so sweet. He's thankful to be free.]
