[ Shino, he will be so apologetic about the boots a million times over and (try to) never do it again. Maybe he'll even stop being a frugal miser of a bum and get new shoes. In all honesty, he's being a lot ruder and more brazen than he would normally, but there's an urgency in this.
Because at the very least, it was supposed to be just him here.
But he's taken slightly aback. Both that this other man has just confirmed it is Kanda, probably, except he's been here that long when Allen just saw him?, and at the slight jolt when his hands are clasped in return. That's strange, it's warmer than it should be... A gesture he'd almost be comforted by if he weren't so anxious.
(He's nice though, this person. Only someone who's kind would even bother to be as gentle as he is with someone who just barged into their home, accidentally or not. That's what his instincts say. "Trust" might be going too far, but... at least more than anyone else he's spoken with so far, maybe he can trust him a little.)
He blinks and shakes his head for a moment, like he's trying to clear it. ]
That's exactly how he is... [ "Likes to frown" indeed, and a small, petty part of Allen is glad he doesn't have to confirm any height nonsense. He's a very respectable 174cm 17 year old boy who's still growing himself and Kanda is still a full hand's width taller than him. Oversized idiot.
But he's trying to think that though that, expression flickering in an increasingly cagey manner. ]
I don't understand though, I just saw him earlier, before I woke up... there. He couldn't have been here that long.
[ "Moon" sounds weird to say and gives him the jeebies, although he can barely care about that right now. This is.. rather unsettling. And his gaze flicks down to their hands, then back to the other man's face. Quickly, like a nervous twitch.
Bluntly, though without really expecting any answer: ]
