Takao is slow to respond, taking a second to process the words red light district coming from Midorima. "Right, stay out of the red light district."
He can not come up with one reason except lucky items that would drive a person like Midorima to a place like the red light district. Yet, he is going to skip asking how he knows that, for now. There is something in the warning that has Takao considering it and accepting it without argument or further explanation. Takao would rather Midorima not have to pay ransom for him as well; kidnapping does not sound exciting or fun.
Yeah, Takao figured that. Considering what this place is about, there are ways to enslave people and still make them willing participants in that stuff. Especially when there is an entire group that can be sent into heat, to Takao after hearing red-light district, this possibility seems more likely. He also is not happy to count himself among that group; he'll have his eyes open. He is uncharacteristically quiet as his brain goes over all this; it leaves a hollow feeling in his stomach. He does not taste the bite he takes, chewing automatically to cover his unease.
"You mean you can get stuck with those ears and tail permanently?" He laughs, giving all his effort to make it sound natural, to get it to reach his eyes. Give him a moment Midorima, he'll be back to his annoying self. A permanent heat cycle, he shoves out of his mind. Maybe he won't buy anything that he can not thoroughly verify won't make him weird. He already feels weird, and he hasn't done anything more than lay under a kotatsu with someone he trusts. He has another bite in his mouth, and he chokes on it a bit.
"Shin-chan, red-light district, adult items, you've gotten into some weird stuff without me around." See, he is totally fine, smirk, and all, nothing is going on his head, nothing he is going to bring to light at least. Hopefully, he can hide it better than he feels like he can. He has done enough freaking out externally today; he is not doing that to Midorima again.
