Kenta stared blankly for a few moments, blinking in confusion. "Eh..?" When he shook it off, he caught up with her. "Um... Are you ok, Shay-shay? Did I... say..." He didn't finish the statement. What could he possibly have said wrong? She just walked off all of a sudden... "
"I'm fine," she smiled. She didn't want to tell him that had made her feel weird, or awkward. Maybe she shouldn't pinch him on the ear? She didn't understand. Shay crossed her arms over her chest, suddenly quite silent.
"But... You were..." He looked down. I had to have done something. She was... So relaxed a moment ago... And... He put his hand on his ear for just a moment, trying to figure this out. She said she liked my ears... Apologized... I said it was ok... Did I... He let go of his ear and let out a sigh. I'd give four of my tails to be a psychic right now...
"It's just...you ear." Shay hated that she was so shy about it. It wasn't her fault, in reality, she couldn't even normally touch people and now she was feeling all weirdly dirty about it.
"My... ears upset you?" He asked, sounding a bit upset himself. His ears drooped sadly. "But... you said you... liked my ears... Is something..." He pawed at his ear. "Something's wrong with them?" He asked. "I can... I can try to transform them away if you want..." He offered, mumbling at the end, "It hurts after a while, but..."
"No. I like your ears," Shay said. She huffed, tired of trying to explain and her embarrassment growing by each new word spoken. "I just -- it's nothing. Can we please talk about something else now?"
Five. All five. Please make me psychic? He opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. Eventually he let out a sigh. He still looked sad. "I... Sorry, Shay-shay." He said, not sure of what it was for, but he did something. That seemed clear. She likes my ears? Then... what did I... No, move on... Say something else...
"Do you... Wanna try again?" He asked. "Maybe I can get some real information if I keep..." He honestly didn't feel it, but it was the first subject that came to mind. Something to move on from his... ears...
Shay glanced at him. "Probably better that we let you rest for now. Wanna go to our secret place?" She had stopped, waiting for his answer before deciding where they would go next.
"Oh... I guess you're right." He said, his mind still on the subject of his ears, despite his best efforts. This question was honestly more important to him right now than the answers about himself. When she suggested going to their secret place, he nodded. "Alright." He put on a smile, but his ears betrayed his real feelings. "Lets go."
Shay didn't move, though. She knew he was still curious. She could see it in all his hesitation. She huffed, deflating at having to explain her oddness. "We were talking about things like kissing, and I grabbed your ear. You told me it felt good, but I don't know what kind of good you were talking about. So....you know."
