Shoto wasn't expecting the arm around him, but he appreciates it. There's nothing about it that feels anything more than just friendly and offering him the quiet comfort of human closeness. In another life maybe Izuku wouldn't have the chance to find out Katsuki's feelings, in another life maybe this wouldn't be friendly. But in this one, Shoto is so very, very thankful for this.
Talking shop is easier. "Someone is. There has to be something... Though." He sighs, looking up at the jewelry that Toge got him. "These--" A vague gesture to something on his desk, "--are supposed to track us wherever we were. It doesn't anymore. So whatever it is has to be more powerful than that." He doesn't even know where to begin on that. So the momentary silence ends with him saying: "Maybe I will join you to help with lunch after all." It's better than feverishly trying to think of this. "I'll show you I've gotten a lot better."
