[ Shuu is over here still looking half-psychotic, almost more animal than human in his gaze as he still stares at Kurapika and the aftermath of the blast. His heart is racing a million miles an hour, and it's almost as if his head starts pounding just thinking of the ways this guy insulted him by saying something like that.
But Kaoru's voice cuts through, and even if it doesn't get rid of the look in his eyes, it adds something more to it. Something a little bit like confusion, probably, as his gaze finally darts between the other two.
Maybe it's something about the familiarity of Kaoru's tone that hits a little bit too close to home, but it sure makes him start to talk. ]
I don't want to leave there [ is that something near-panicked in his tone..? listen, feelings are hard and complicated, okay, don't ask him ] but-- he's.. [ He glances back at Kurapika, his eyes wide, but gritting his teeth inbetween sentences. ] He insulted them..!
