[ deletes rom's hat from existence for this scene so that he can get a hair ruffle 🥺
Rom just blinks when he sees that hand reaching over, and even leans in a little to make Shoko's job easier -- mostly expecting a shove to the face like Edamura seems to favor, only to receive a pleasant surprise instead. He gives a very soft, very deadpan 'ah' under his breath when he feels fingers scuffing through his hair, and straightens up with another owlish blink only after she's done.
It's just a little softer, a little more sincere than usual when he smiles. ]
I'm glad, then. That you're in good company. I hope you'll take their words to heart.
[ He doesn't bother fixing his hair, letting errant strands stick out in weird directions from the ruffling as he toys with the handle of his cup. ]
... and thank you. Though I'm just doing my job. It's just that I've been following my mentor's teachings -- I'll be sure to pass your words along to her.
