[She only gives him disapproving looks because she cares about his well-being! And do you know what else she cares about? His self-esteem, because, like, this is definitely not the first time she's sent a wave of positivity his way only to watch him pause. It's a very Deku-like thing to do, honestly. It makes her think of the first few times she cheered her friend on, when he froze up because he couldn't believe someone was praising him instead of making fun of him. And who knows? It might not be the same way with Okuyasu, but after their family talk... hmm. Hmm. The similarities are there, and so she'll file this thought away for later consideration.

But once he's actually speaking, she focuses in on the best thing—that sweet, sweet confirmation of their friendship. It's not brand new information, of course, but hearing him just throw it out there is enough to make her beam.]

I know it will be! [And then, because she's just so pleased—] You're a good friend, Okuyasu. Being stuck in this place isn't the best, but I'm happy that I got to meet you!

[She's so nauseatingly nice. It hurts to write these comments sometimes tbh.]
