[Kaede felt his hand drawing close before she saw it; even idle, her vectors still felt objects in their range like the trembling of a spider's web. So she didn't have to twitch to get her bearings when Shinichi helped brush the snow away; she even stopped shaking her head, so she didn't bump him. One eye blinked open when he finished with the snow on that side of her head, then the other. And...while she still huffed a little at being fussed over so, it wasn't as exasperated or annoyed of a sound as it could have been. Almost an...amused sound, she realized several long moments later.
And yet it...didn't trouble her at all that Shinichi had heard. He was fretting more about her clothes getting a bit wet, not picking a target based on some perceived weakness. She could let her standoffish armor relax around him.]
I'll be fine, Shinichi. We can go again.
[The diclonius didn't resist being pulled up, curling her fingers with his the moment she felt his open palm. He...didn't seem to be letting go, even if both of them were standing now. But neither was she. The Light Thing bounced a little in Kaede's chest again.]
