[Thanks for sparing his dignity... He keeps an eye on her as they go without actually staring at her, as is his way; she still has that spark, but with a different kind of weight hanging on her shoulders than he remembers. And it hasn't been that long since he's seen her, from his perspective— he wonders idly how long it's been for her, since that night in the alley...
He stops wondering about that pretty quickly, smashing the thought down before it can take over. Surely he'll find out about that eventually; he doesn't need to think about it just yet. (He is definitely still thinking about it.)]
You're weird, so you can take it. [#friendship] Are you sure you're okay? Don't push yourself just because it's only us two.
[The I've got your back goes unsaid, because it's obviously implied. Shinjiro knows she won't be able to shrug off the leader thing that easily, but so far - well. This place wouldn't have a Dark Hour, would it...? It's okay to relax, probably. For her.

He shrugs. Luckily, he doesn't grimace.]
...It's the usual for me. I'm fine.
