Phoenix is not in the habit of initiating casual hugs with anyone but Maya and Trucy. He's a touchy person, but he has a level of tact about who it's appropriate to try to hug and not.

He smiles at that grin. Oh, he really looks forward to introducing Kay to Trucy. He thinks they will get along great. And probably get into a lot of trouble together, but he wouldn't have it any other way.

"Thank you, Kay," he says, patting her hand once more. "That'll be really helpful."

He glances towards the way he came, the corner of his mouth twisting as he hears the footsteps of the guards. They'll probably take issue with him lingering so long with Kay, and while they won't take it out on him, they could take it out on her.

"I'm going to do a lot of reading and research about this place," he says, turning his head back to face her. "And I'm going to report back what I've found tomorrow at lunch time, okay?"

Which will also give her a chance to tell him what she knows, and give her a certain time to look forward to that she'll speak to someone on the outside. If nothing else, he's learned how important it is to a person in prison to know that someone is coming to talk to them at a set time.
