If I do, you'll have every right to plow right through me. I won't hold you back, Senpai. I promise.
[Picking up like a breeze, Shu hops ahead of Shinonome and turns, walking backward so he can keep smiling at her, trusting his feet on these familiar sidewalks.]
Besides, twice the fighters means half the time, right? Could be we'll both finish our rounds early. [Even though that's not how keeping watch works--standing Sentinel, as it were--Shu's grin broadens at the idea of a shortened shift. His voice goes sing-song.] Could be, if we've both got the time, I could take you somewhere. Show you a side of the city with way fewer monsters. I know this great ramen place, it'd be my treat.
[He knows she won't go for it. That's just not Shinonome-senpai. Still, he likes to float these scraps of peacetime normalcy past her when he can. Maybe one day, he'll even catch her giving actual thought to one of these daydreams of his.]
