"So, this is where you are." Yosuke had been thinking about what he was going to say since he opened the door to the roof of the apartment building. It was obvious that this was where Shika was since he hadn't been able to find him anywhere else. Honestly, it probably should have been the first place that he looked. While it didn't seem like it was a "bad" thing that he was looking all over for his friend, he was still trying to give him his space. Something had happened to Shika and for once, Yosuke wasn't getting in his face and demanding to know what it was. The teenager was uncertain if he was doing it because he had learned to value other people's privacy or if he had just become more self-centered. Hopefully, it was the former.
His left shoe poked his right as he tried to think of something to say. His mind was also on the horrible revelation of what that bastard demon had said on the Network about Nill. Just how was he supposed to take it? Though, he supposed that it really hadn't sunk in for him. The idea of "rape" just was such a foreign one even if he was from the city. Sure, a person hears about it a lot on the news, but it's easy to distance oneself. He supposed that he almost had gotten sexually -- if not outright assaulted -- down in the Abyss, but nothing had come of it. And that was the Abyss. But that didn't mean that he wasn't going to keep looking out for Nill and make sure that she was always safe; a promise was a promise. Yosuke just felt that he wasn't appreciating the gravity of the situation and the more that he thought about it, the further away it felt.
"I started getting tutored." He rocked on his heels. That was a very long pause to bring up something about himself. Maybe he was just self-centered. "Yup. You're going to be so depressed when I start getting higher grades than you." His head lowered, scratching the back of his neck. Yosuke hadn't even told Shika about what had happened to Ninjin, but he supposed that Itachi probably had laid it all out for his friend. There really felt like there was something else that he wanted to say, but he wasn't sure where he could even remotely begin without sounding insensitive.
Biting his bottom lip, he wondered if he should call Ryou to ask him about how to talk to others on awkward topics. Yes, and next I'm going to ask Uchiha-sama about how to properly open up and tell people about what you're feeling inside. He made a soft tsking sound. Stupid. "If you're napping, just tell me when you wanna wake up and I'll come back up here." Another shuffling of his feet as he looked back to the door which he had come in, wondering if he should just make a break for it.
