[Toki wants to protest that nothing is going to happen on the short walk back to the dorm, but he can't say that confidently. Things happen here. He'd say it, and then some weird creature would attack, or another Eldritch pocket dimension would spring up, or maybe there's a curfew he's unaware of there'd be campus security wandering around.]

Whatever, fine. It's really not a big deal, though!

[He needs to emphasize that, more for himself than Maverick.]

You know how sometimes you get a little stressed over something and suddenly you don't like remember your locker combination~! It's like that! You've done that, right!? And there's nothing suspicious about taking a walk with your cat!

[He starts walking back to the dorms, Maverick can keep up or follow or whatever he wants and then go back to his snowmen and his own issues.]

As for what you can do to make up for it~, I'll hold onto that "favor" for later~!
