[ Yeah, giant monsters falling? That's just not a lot of fun for anyone involved. Shinpachi isn't even as close to the thing and even he's having to try and keep his balance for a moment when the rumble it causes almost threatens to knock him off his feet.
Except being further away means it's a little easier for him to just keep standing. And he can still see Sousei tumbling for a moment, and he can see the monster moving, flailing wildly to try and grab whatever is doing this to him-- ]
Sousei..!
[ Shinpachi sprints forward, latching onto the other's wrist and tugging him just out of the way when the monster's claw comes down hard on exactly the spot where the other was standing just now. ]
He's dragged out of the way by Shinpachi, which is a very good thing because he's still a little dazed from the overall collision that threw him right off his feet; he stumbles along, but it's a little tough to hear anything over the ringing in his hears (and amidst everything in Cerealia, he'll never underestimate how important hearing is ever again, really).
The monster's down for the count, though, dazed or dead or what-have-you, and ViViD seems to have decided that that's enough; it spits them out into one of the side roads in the Pleasure District, and Sousei stumbles and catches himself on a wall, the other wrist still held by Shinpachi.
He shakes his head, eyes narrowed, trying to shake off the vertigo.]
[ Give him a second to even catch up, really. The transition from ViViD to normal life is already weird enough usually, but when it's happening so suddenly it really induces a rush of vertigo unlike any other. It's only after a moment of calming down that he realises he still is holding Sousei's wrist, and he quickly lets go before straightening himself. ]
Don't even mention it. [ He groans a little, moving a hand up to his head and through his hair to confirm that he, in fact, really is back here. ] I wish this place would just stop pulling that bullshit.
[Sousei certainly doesn't mind the contact, for once, if only because Shinpachi just got finished making sure he didn't become a Sousei pancake...that's a good reason to grab his wrist, okay.
But he nods simply, shaking the remaining ringing in his ears away, before he inspects the city.
Same as ever...]
Honestly. [...] What a pain in the ass. [wow that was crude, sousei

... Well.
I suppose we can count that as a victory.
