[ Less. Sometimes. Well, it wasn't as if he didn't have to get used to people's quirks on the Origin. Still, no one was quite as... eccentric as Mikan. ]
It's nothing, [ he says, nonchalantly. It's what anyone would do, right? He's not better or anything because of helping a girl up off the floor. He does take note of how light she seems to be. It isn't alarming because, well, he's Japanese and their average BMI is one of the lowest worldwide still. ]
You might want to be more careful though. [ Not everyone will be as kind as him, alright. ]
[His world would be like 10x more concerning if more people had Mikan's level of weird in it.
Her brow furrows a little in confusion.] Um... But, why? [Why should she be careful?? Also, why is he giving her advice in the first place? He's not one of her classmates, after all, so he has no obligation to try and help her... It's weird, in Mikan's experience, to have people just be nice to her for now reason]
Some people might... [ A vague gesture with his hand. ]
They might take advantage of you. [ Mikan is an attractive young woman, in even an objective sense of the word. She's also quick to apologize and doesn't seem unkind. That's just a recipe for people taking advantage of her.
Honestly, he probably would have years ago. The thought doesn't sit well with him. ]
Oh, is that all? [Mikan lets out a breath like she's relieved and smiles, albeit rather sadly. She waves a hand as if to say 'don't worry'.]
Th-that's fine... I mean, it's not like people don't do that... I'm used to it! S-so, it's okay... [Is it though. She just seems resigned to that. That's her lot in life, after all.]
Um! I-I'm Tsumiki Mikan, by the way... If it's okay, can I please have your name, and remember it too?
You shouldn't be used to it. [ He doesn't mean to snap. Unfortunately, getting angry is about one of the only ways Shun knows to express himself. Concerned? Get angry. Sad? Get angry.
He might have some anger issues. ]
My name's Shun. [ Which is not as biting, but still has a tinge of annoyance behind it. ]
Eep! I-I'm sorry! [Mikan waves her hands frantically in defense, looking apologetic and a bit frantic.]
Um, it's nice to meet you... [Maybe? She's not sure yet.] ...I-I'm sorry, I'm just annoying you further, and I don't know what to do to make you feel better...
[ Does she look any other way? He's starting to doubt it and he's known her for like five minutes. ]
It's not you, [ he says, though that isn't entirely true. Shifting the blame though is probably better though than just being an asshole. ] It's everything. I'm still... getting used to this place. The people.
[ If she couldn't tell by now, he doesn't have much in the way of social graces. ]
[Hey, look.... Put her in a medical situation and she's got it! She'll look competent! ...Any other situation tho? Debatable.
That has Mikan nodding though in acceptance and understanding, her shoulders slumping with a little sigh.] Yes, I feel the same way with that... Th-this is really weird and hard to get used to, you know...? I keep expecting to wake up and this was all some really weird dream!
H-how does one even end up in some completely different world like this... [Not to mention everyone's just sort of. Taking it in stride, nbd. Herself included, but she's at least used to random weird shit like this--though, granted, not quite to this level.]
[ ... Somehow, he can't imagine her in a medical situation. ]
You're asking the wrong person. [ Last time, he signed up to go to a new world voluntarily. All this is just as new territory for him as it is anyone else. ]
All we can do now seems to be play along and hopefully figure it out.
