As Midoriya is learning, Paul is only reserved about touch until he's not. His hand finds its way to Midoriya's shoulder and squeezes as he smiles slightly back, letting quiet relief and ruefulness show in his eyes.

"You're right, about actions." It's softly spoken, but there's a ribbon of certainty underneath it. "They show you who a person really is."

It might be too far, today - too influenced by the trailing edges of that unsettled feeling - to add that's how I know you're good. The sentiment bleeds through anyway, Paul's hand lingering a moment longer before he drops it and continues alongside someone who is both good, and his friend, and maybe this hasn't been such a bad day after all, if he can do that.
