Tao slowly meandered down the street, eyeing the different food stalls as he contemplated what to eat. As he was distracted he didn't notice someone speak to him at first, at least not until they spoke again. Looking down Tao saw a girl shorter than him with dark brown hair, she was asking him about the bruise on his face. He gingerly lifted a hand and touched it, was it seriously that noticeable? He could hear the concern in her voice but he rally didn't like mingling with others, people were...complicated. [b][color=fff79a]"I'm fine, it's just a small bru-"[/color][/b] He was cut off when the girl took him by the arm and dragged him over to a bench, making him sit down. She moved him around to her liking and than began to wipe his face with a wet wipe. Honestly, what was that going to do? It wasn't like his face was dirty, someone just punched him. 

Tao hated it when people paid attention to him, unless it was someone who was going to pay him. The only time he deviated from that was when he was with Felix or the little adventure he had with Paige. But right now he didn't have the effort to really stop her or walk away, so he just sat there letting her wipe his face. [b][color=fff79a]"Ah...Tao..."[/color][/b] He said awkwardly. He also wasn't very good at speaking with girls, people often question his gender because of his feminine. Older women were fine but others near his age just made him feel weird. [b][color=fff79a]"It's fine. I'm okay...really."[/color][/b] He said, trying to reassure Elise to maybe get her to stop. 

As he was fumbling with his words a bunch of people happened to pass by on a large group, one guy in particular practically ran into Elise, almost knocking her over. Tao reacted before he could think and grabbed her arm so she didn't fall over, glancing to the boy with narrowed eyes. [b][color=fff79a]"Hey, watch where your going. You almost took her out."[/color][/b] He spoke without really taking notice of the fact the boy had also reached out to make sure she didn't fall. For being a so-called genius Tao was acting quite the opposite. But then again he wasn't used to have real social interactions with people - he spent all his time talking to people over a phone or a computer.
