It wasn’t unwelcome, even with the thick molasses of snark and sarcasm from the attractive girl. But for Shun, his mind was elsewhere (as it had always been on stressful days) to play the part of the hormonal teenage boy. “Spaced out?” Shun finally reacted as she gave her schpeel. [color=BEDE79]“No, no!”[/color] He chuckled. [color=BEDE79]“I’m actually just excited. I was scared I would be late!” [/color] He grinned a toothy grin that seemed to completely ignore all the stressors around him, ignoring the fact that he was sitting in the belly of a beast designed to destroy people like him. [color=BEDE79]“Though I feel bad for that guy,” [/color] he said, looking over to where the feline-looking boy had cried. He hadn’t even really noticed it until the girl brought his attention to it. He was completely unaware that the tears were happy. [color=BEDE79]“I hope he’s okay!” [/color] [i]A hero would have made sure he was okay.[/i] The stern voice in the back of his head echoed. And that much was true: ever since he’d been accepted to the academy he knew he had to start acting less like a kid and more like a real hero. [color=BEDE79]“Oh! Right,” [/color] he said, realizing he had not introduced himself to Fuyumi. [color=BEDE79]“I’m Shun! Tanaka Shun! From the racetracks of Okinawa all the way up to the frozen north!” [/color] He smiled, extending a hand to her. [color=BEDE79]“It’s a pleasure to meet you Fuyumi! Let’s be great heroes!” [/color] [/indent]
