He had just hoped to withdraw coolly; Not cause any issues among the class. But it seemed his apology, however scarce it might've been due to him hurrying, wasn't enough to save him from Minase Kohaku. His mere existence in the general area was enough to send shivers up spines; And Kenichi was weak willed enough at his words to find himself stiff and stopping in his tracks; A nervous expression taking over his features as his head turned, then followed Minase's movements for a moment: Kenichi couldn't manage a response to the individual labeled as the Warden. He tried to respect authority, but most of the problems he found himself with weren't things he started. Though finishing them made him a part of it, so it was fair enough to judge him on it.

Though this was just a slight mishap of not being fully aware of where he was walking; He hadn't even actually bumped anyone. He thought the words were unnecessary, and that lack of necessity for Minase's input melted whatever chill the he had and left a bit of annoyance in it's place. Though his annoyance with someone in Minase's position didn't mean much at all, giving that he was more so the prey rather than the hunter in these conflicts.

[color=green][i]. . .[/i][/color] Shaking his head, the tall lad had prepared to take his leave as a decision to ignore what had just happened to instead carry about his day to try and keep out of anymore trouble. At least, until a voice caught him as he tried to once again coolly withdraw from the classroom: Despite it being rather soft and kind, Kenichi's current annoyance and general defense mechanism with people he didn't know caused him to slowly turn, his eyes darkened with a stern glare straight at the person talking to him, and the short boy next to her.

This was very brief, however: Just getting an actual sight of who was talking to him was enough for his guard to lower. He had just stepped past her, yet she had picked up a pen he dropped on accident. Maybe it happened when he was bothered by the Warden... He scolded himself in his mind; [color=green][i]Little too childish to be blaming a guy over a dropped pen, Ken...[/i][/color] He accepted it back; Free hand scratching the back of his head as he felt like a bit of a goof for both dropping it and turning to assume everyone around was a threat. It certainly wasn't the case, but it was a habit he unfortunately had. He needed to break out of that.

[color=green]"Oh, my bad!"[/color] He apologized, a grin on his face. Was he apologizing over the pen, or the glare? Nobody probably knew for sure, but the large young man wasn't currently passing off any aggressive or threatening aura aside from his sheer size compared to the two people in front of him. [color=green]"I was kinda short while passing you; I'm sorry about that, I've, uh--"[/color] He held back the urge to look over at Lao, not wanting to instigate anything between anyone. [color=green]"J-Just got a lot on my mind."[/color] Hand lowering from the back of his head, he might've offered to shake had it not been a weird thing to offer when there were two people in front of you. Despite him not holding a conversation with the short red-haired lad Kenichi had him included mentally for one reason or another.

[color=green]"Thanks for telling me about my though! I appreciate you grabbing it for me."[/color]
