[She arrives a little late, having been caught up at the music store, but she's here now, and she's visibly uncomfortable with the clothing options she's been left with, despite trying her best to hide it.]
Hey, sorry 'bout that. I didn't make you wait too long, did I?
[ He pulls himself onto the curb with a hand on the sign. ] Not really. I got here faster than I thought. [ But to be honest, he had nothing else to do and didn't check his watch, so it just wasn't something worth pointing out. ]
[She follows alongside him, letting out a bemused sigh.] I've only had so much time to. Talked to a couple other people in the park, lost track of time with that, had to make a dash to get back to the house and change, and now here we are. Didn't hear much I didn't know already, but I got my hands fixed, so that's a plus. [Which she readily shows off.]
[ Touma listens to all that, but is focused on stepping closer to get a better look. ] --whoa. It's like you weren't even hurt in the first place. [ Picking one up to look even closer. ] ...how did you do that?
Was it someone you knew? I wouldn't trust some random person to go casting stuff like that around me, personally. [ Mainly because magic is not real, or so he would say if he hadn't seen stuff like that with his own eyes, even back home. Denial is strong with the man raised on the Science side. ]
You don't feel weird or anything after that, do you?
Nah, but he seemed trustworthy enough. Just an ordinary kid like us aside from it, y'know? Besides, I like to think I'm a pretty good judge of character. [She doesn't say whether she's okay, but she certainly looks and sounds it.]
If you say so. I wouldn't trust anyone here to just go around casting incantations or drawing magic circles or however the hell they accomplish impossible stuff like that. [ Taking a turn on the road to Downtown. ] Not that I trust a lot of people to start out with. This place traps all kinds of people. [ Like Accelerator. ]
Awful nice of him to go against your wishes like that. [ Not. ]
I should be telling you that, since you're the one who's new to the town and didn't know what kind of people to expect to just walk right up to you like that. Someone could have really taken advantage of the fact that you were obviously lost and stressed. [ Bit of a smile. ] But you said yourself that you're a good just of character, so maybe you just knew that Touma Kamijou is not the kind of guy who would take advantage of a lady alone like that.
[ That makes him laugh a bit. ] With those bloody fists? You've got some real guts, Arisawa. [ It's not a mocking laugh. He's just surprised at how straightforward she has been this whole time. ] I like that.

Funny, though, you're not having too much trouble trusting me, from the look of it.
