[color=lightblue]"Too close..."[/color] Shiki muttered out and tried to weakly pull away from Shun's touchy hands. It was difficult enough tolerating Shun's need to be up in his personal space, but he finally broke when physical contact was involved. There was a small amount of blush on his cheeks, but after quickly readjusting his glasses to hide his embarrassment, it immediately faded away. [color=lightblue]"But, very well...I will proceed with the transfer."[/color] Then, without warning he inserted the connector into the middle of Shun's forehead. At most, he would only feel the connector gently pressing against his skin before it pushed beneath the surface, without triggering any additional sensory receptors or harming him in any way. The transfer of information wouldn't take more than ten seconds in this case, Shun's enthusiasm made this a really smooth process.  

The abrupt sound of echoing screams startled Shiki and nearly petrified him in fear. It reminded him of those handful of horror games he barely logged any hours in, except this was real. The sound of destruction which followed after, further increased his stress levels. A visible bead of sweat could be seen trailing down the side of his forehead, with a clear nervous expression displayed on his face. He did not expect that kind of signal to start. Watching some of the other students take off without hesitation encouraged him to move, but he still felt uneasy about this splitting up into pairs decision. On a smaller note, he had to hold onto his hat (literally) after it being nearly blown off by the Smurf-Boy's winds. 

When it was brought up, he decided to accept the Neko's offer of exchanging numbers within their group for emergency purposes. [@KoL][@Stern Algorithm][@TheWindel]

[color=lightblue]"We should get going...It will be easier for us if we can actually see through this dense fog...Let's try following that lightbulb guy."[/color] He suggested to Shun after disconnecting his tail. The thought of having better visual of their surroundings did put him at ease. If any villain attempted to approach them, they would at least be aware of it or so he thought.
