[Mikumo does indeed miss the smile - she's glancing at Codi every so often just to ensure her condition isn't visibly worsening, but most of her focus is dedicated to looking and listening for any signs of disturbance from the surrounding forest.]
As long as you remember your manners and don't interrupt anything. [There's a little added amusement to that which says it's mostly a joke, but she assumes Codi has the general interactional awareness to not try and strike up a conversation halfway through a song or something.
A few moments after that, Mikumo's head turns sharply, then back more gradually, as if tracking a noise. It sounds mostly like a wild animal skirting the edge of the clearing rather than a human, but she doesn't want to give it any reason to enter the clearing instead of continuing on its way.]
