In truth, the stranger's coloring barely registered. He just knew there was someone there, talking to him.

The faint smile faded, leaving just weariness. There was no reason to hide from this man, strange as it was. He wouldn't tell Ritsuka, who was the only one who mattered. Speaking of, Soubi grimaced. Acknowledging that yes, there was someone who would be angry with him.

Maybe enough to finally punish him? He could hope.

He started a little when he was grabbed and tugged up to his feet, weak and utterly uncooperative in terms of helping support his weight. Stronger than expected.

"Not worth it."

But other than that, he didn't really try to stop his savior.
