[Sitting down on the park bench, Soushi will begin to realize more and more that they were no longer moving, so his mismatched gaze will turn to the other man as he began to feel his guard slowly rise. He could not help begin to ponder the worse case scenarios as he was feeling quite paranoid over the idea of another human not only offering their assistance, but witnessing his youkai form. Back in his world, it was taboo to allow others to know of their true forms. If he was in his world, the other SS would have either: a) eliminate the source or b) make them believe a different story, if it was possible to.

In spite of it, Soushi will lightly shake his head as he decided to not allow his paranoia win the best of him because he was simply assuming without any reason to do so. The other young man was not questioning him nor did he seem surprise over his current form. Instead, he was asking him the obvious questions that held a single answer of "no".]
