Shoko paused and blinked at the boy's offer to help her -- though she was already finding her feet thanks to getting used to the sudden onset of pain, she couldn't help but smile sheepishly and nod.

[color=ed1c24]"Th-thanks,"[/color] she said quietly, carefully putting part of her weight on him. The girl felt instant relief at no longer having to focus so hard on keeping herself steady. 

She felt a twinge of guilt at the fact that she was already slowing another down at Komei. It seemed rude to not accept his offer, however -- so she just had to make sure she moved fast enough to not make the boy late. 

The pink-haired girl joined them, immediately latching on to the boy's free hand, making Shoko's heart skip a beat as she came to a realization.

[color=ed145b]"Sorry! I just had to! You're sooooooo adorable! 'Sides, think how cool you'll look with two girls on each arm ahaha!"[/color]

That... that [i]was[/i] what it looked like, didn't it? 

Shoko felt her cheeks heat up a bit as she avoided saying anything and fought the urge to suddenly refuse the boy's help. After another moment of shy silence from her, she found herself letting out a small laugh.

[color=ed1c24]"It won't matter how cool he looks if we're all expelled,"[/color] she said lightly, smiling to the two. 

As the trio made there way to their classroom, Shoko glanced towards the others, noticing the cut on the boy's cheek for the first time. She paused, wondering how he had gotten it with his shielding Quirk. She thought to bring it up, and use her Quirk to relieve him of the wound as way of thanks for helping her, but decided against it for the moment -- she'd have no time to explain her Quirk to him before they made it to their destination, and touching him out of the blue could come off as weird.
