Shu was pretty suspicious regarding Takeshi’s actions, giving him a good long staring at as they walked through the city. He didn’t know what he was doing or where they were going, but he was sure Takeshi was just trying to find something for them to do. He was a pretty sharp much to Takeshi’s misunderstanding of him, but it was probably pretty easy for everyone to look at him like he was just a little kid who was not aware of such tricks. It was probably because Takeshi had tricked him a fair number of times before to surprise him and his change of tone told him he didn’t know what he was actually going to show him. Bouncing along with him he made sure to look around to see what Takeshi was planning, trying to tell if he was able to spot what he might be looking at. There was probably a lot out there, but if he just brought him to take down a building like he did with Viral then he was going to be rather disappointed.

“My socks off?? I don’t wear socks, you silly! Shu goes no shoes!” he giggled as he skipped around Takeshi, “How do you knock off socks when they are not there?” They were certainly going a long way at this time and he was starting to wonder if Takeshi would just give up soon. To come all this way out again for a surprise was definitely strange and was probably just to tire him out, but he wasn’t tired at all at this time of day. As he was starting to wonder if Takeshi was just waiting for him to forget anything was said before Takeshi seemingly spotted something, his attention immediately turning to see what he was seeing, gasping when he too spotted the strange event. He hadn’t seen anything like it and what was even better was there was many people who were very excited to be playing. “Ooh! Ooh! What that?? What that?? I wanna try!” he squeaked, getting all excited as he bounced in his step, “Is that bathtime? We had a wash this morning! I still feel fluffy!”

T’charrl couldn’t help but feel terribly embarrassed at the fact he was completely caught out with his poor reading skills, something he had only really found he was somewhat okay with when it came to children’s books. The large letters helped him greatly, but some of these letters were so close together that they confused him. He recognised some words, but just the most basic. He didn’t know how he was going to do if that was his first attempt to show how much he had learned. Staring down at the book for a moment he made a glance to Yumi, smiling nervously before sighing lightly, his eyes going back to the book. “I’m sorry. I should learn to speak clear too…” Wondering if he was going to manage this he stared at her finger as she searched up a passage, watching it carefully as she read along. The words all sounded so simple and yet he had managed to screw it up completely, feeling confused for only a moment when she read the character’s name before his eyes moved to Yumi. “That sounds exciting. I wish I could read properly to hear what happens”, he smiled, letting out a sigh, “I always loved reading books. I used to read to my grandma when I was little. I guess people thought I was just reading out loud because I was a silly kid. My home has a really big collection of books”.
