[ Souji warrants a pause as well. ]

I...just need some air.

[hellhowl]

Out.

[ The pause broken, he continues on his way, but the shoulder he turns to Souji isn't cold. It's just that he's been nose to hip with other students all day. Cut the man a break and walk with him. ]

[ Souji doesn't get a verbal response this time, but he's also not getting any tension or worse, ditched in a flash of swirling cloak and shadows. By the time they make it outside to the open air, Vincent is walking at a normal human pace and looking much more relaxed. ]

[ Vincent quickly shakes his head, holding out his right hand as though to ward away the offering. ]

I...am not hungry.
Thank you.

[hellhowl]

[ Vincent really wouldn't know... ]

You...

[ How do I shot small talk? ]

You don't like them much?

[hellhowl]

[ Another shake of his head. ]

I used to like them, but it's been ... a long time. I remember they were best on garlic bread.

[ Vincent has to give him another, longer look this time. He looks like a simple teenager, nothing special about him. It's different, since his most familiar teenaged acquaintance is something of a ninja pickpocket...Maybe making it simple, like the boy himself, is the best course of action.]

I don't eat.

[hellhowl]

[ Vincent's familiar enough with the student list, and pays close enough attention to the BBS, to know this. ]

I'm not an android, however.
