[/indent][indent]Chise no longer mingled or chatted with those he passed by on the street, instead his head and gaze faced forward directly towards where he was walking -- but, said gaze was not focused on anything in particular - he was thinking, hard.

Now, Chise was not an outright denier of the supernatural, but he had never experienced such a thing in his life. And he had never heard of a credible source experiencing anything like it either. There had to be some sort of [i]sensible[/i] explanation for what had just happened. As his mind wriggled in anxiousness, trying to make sense of it all, he heard a voice from behind address him. His feet stopped in place instinctively as he realized how fast he had just begun walking. He stutter-stepped to balance himself out as he came to a stop, and turned to meet the face behind the voice, forcing his shoulders to release some of the tension they now held.

His features softened ever-so-slightly as he saw the speaker, losing some of their seriousness. He wasn't sure who or what he expected it to be, but he was somehow relieved to see that it was just one of his school-mates.

His face developed a smile which only he might know was partially fake. [color=396690]"H-Hey there.. Naoko-chan, yeah?"[/color] He responded, his hand rising to brush a bit of hair to the side with a slight nervousness. He had never really talked to the girl, maybe once or twice in passing, but he knew the names of most of his school-mates - something he made sure to do for himself. He steadied himself and tried to allow his body and mind to relax a bit as he continued his response, looking-over the girl and past her, briefly. [color=396690]"Ahh, yeah, I'm doing fine!"[/color] He ensured. [color=396690]"I-I was just.. trying to remember my grocery list, haha."[/color] He tossed a light glance over his shoulder, just before he turned back to her and felt the distant [i]bmp[/i] once again. He blinked in surprised, his eyes fluttering a couple times as he realized whatever it was that he saw seemed like it was still.. [i]there[/i], somehow.

He swallowed. [color=396690]"Aha.. yep. Anyways, did ya wanna, like, walk or something, or was that all?"[/color] He inquired as he began to take a couple short steps backwards towards his previous destination. [color=396690]"I'm heading to the grocer's square, so my trip'll be short since it's pretty close."[/color]
