It's fine, S-kun! You said you're special back home, so you can touch me all you like... no need to be shy. A-san and H... ( these names have shuuen no shiori vibes, honestly. ) Spiky Ahoge-kun agrees.

( better.

he sighs playfully, though he's paying more attention to their abyss-like surroundings than anyone else — maybe on hinata considering his poor condition. natsume can handle himself, and helena is no child, even if she's unable to see. in a way, this is her playing field so she knows better than them. )

Anyway... ( he presses himself against natsume's arm as they walk together arm in arm... mano e mano... ) There's nothing to worry about, A-san is here for us so you hold on, can't you?

( that's said reassuringly as he looks towards hinata (or where he thinks he is) from the sound of his voice mixed with the tap of the cane. i almost wrote cain, sighs. )

Oh, and the ghosts if there's any.

( casually said, you know he keeps that thang — the megaphone hacking gun — on him. )
