Shun's eager grin scrunched up into a face of perplexion as Shiki abruptly dropped his coffee. To the casual observer, it may have looked like Shun's body distorted and blurred while he took a step back to avoid any splashing beverage; but a more focused eye would note that his feet never actually moved. He was in one spot, he flickered a little, and then he was a few inches behind where he was previously standing. He barely got out a [color=2EFEC8]"Um, are you alri-"[/color] before the other boy was screaming and running for the stairs, leaving Shun frowning and utterly confused. 

The sudden outburst from the quiet boy left him pretty much stunned. Was this a running - ha, [i]running[/i] - joke that he wasn't getting? Was Shun really that unpleasant to talk to that people had to run in fear of his conversations? Was Shiki just weird? 

When Shun managed to collect himself afterward, his first instinct was to pursue, but he'd just finished recomposing himself from his last warp - if the few inches he'd teleported could even be called a full pixelation - and he wasn't about to subject himself to a double jump if there was no immediate danger. He'd just have to let someone else handle it... or wait until the tailed boy toppled into some new kid. Ouch.

He looked over to the newly arrived Akeno at last, perking up a bit but not quite reaching his usual level of enthusiasm. She was tall. Not Mari-tall, but pretty close. 

[color=2EFEC8]"Huh? Airplane Arms? He was like that at our exam too. And after it got called off early he yelled at me for... I'm not even sure!"[/color] The spaz chirped amicably in response to her earlier inquiry about Hiroki's behavior without skipping a beat; he seemed content to just pretend Shiki's... [i]freak out[/i] had never occurred at all. 

Shun barely gave her a chance to respond before diverting his attention toward Guodo at the mention of his name. [i]He[/i] was the homeroom teacher? How was Shun supposed to kick him in the face now? Although, to be fair, he didn't act much like the villain they'd fought on the bus. In fact, Shun was positively starstruck throughout most of the teacher's speech. The teacher even complemented him! Now he [i]definitely[/i] had an issue with kicking him in the face. When he finally came to, he blinked rapidly before returning his attention to Akeno. 

[color=2EFEC8]"Oh, uh, sorry. That was my name,"[/color] he thumbed toward Colgate-sensei, [color=2EFEC8]"Datari Shun, nice to meet you."[/color] He bowed formally toward the taller girl after his disjointed introduction.

[hider=tl;dr]Shun mentally calculates how much Shiki's therapy will probably end up costing while the other boy is running from a catgirl, then responds to Akeno before introducing himself, excluding a brief lapse as he shifts his attention toward Guodo's opening speech.[/hider]
