Without asking, the other man had given him space, known better than to pity him or fuss over him - as if he knows, perhaps, how important every bit of self-reliance can be to someone like him. Like them?

He listens attentively, eyes wide and his expression rapt and fascinated. Because these people are the closest thing he has to any kind of normality here, the closest thing to home, really, and that makes him all the more curious.] It sounds a little bit like the two of you are changed around, how strange. I'm used to you being the listener, and him being the one with the quickest temper, see? [He looks almost alarmed.] Please don't tell me that he's short instead? [Seriously, stop this madness.]

[He smiles a bit wistfully at the description of Heisuke.] But Toudou-san liking cute things seems completely like normal - though I don't know if he's the same about cute people, I guess. And being friendly, too. At least before... [There is a definite shiver of discomfort there, a moment where Souji's eyes flicker away, before the smile is dragged back like a shield.] Well, nevermind.
