[It was difficult, dealing with somebody who had a much different lifestyle than you did. Action and quick-thinking were huge constants in Yusuke's life, much to the point that anything else would be somewhat dull to him. He was well aware that not everyone had the same experiences he did (because, boy, if they did, it would be a lot easier to explain his constant absences to people), but he wasn't really... quite good at meeting someone half-way with it.

His brow furrows as he watches her stand, ready to give her an arm to hold or to steady her should she need it. She said she was okay, but... well, a tree probably wouldn't be the only thing that could crush her, from the looks of it. His look softens a bit when she thanks him, however, and he looks off to the side with a small huff.]

Well, you can't help it. You're not used to this sorta stuff, right? I mean, you're wearing white out here. That's totally going to get ruined!

[He's joking, of course-- something to lighten the mood a little, to cut the tension of... well, EVERYTHING happening right now. Her next question, however, takes him by surprise, and he turns towards her again.]

Er-- yeah, that was me. Sorry, I really didn't think there was anyone even AROUND here, save for, y'know-- the characters trying to kill me and all.
