That brush of her lips against his hand flusters him as much as it immediately soothes him, and he can't help blushing and grinning bashfully at the tender, intimate gesture in spite of the situation they're still in the middle of. Not that he has long to be distracted with her before Kaoru pounces on them, and he's startled by the THUMP of the esper's duplicate getting smashed into a wall. That at least helps to bring his attention back to their surroundings, and he huffs a breath, glaring toward the floored esper, doing his best to suppress the thought of taking a swing with a length of pipe and ringing that flower pot like a bell.

"Tsch... looks like you guys got a handle on this asshole."

The way she shelters against him is as heartwarming as ever, drawing Tetsuo's attention away from their downed enemy once more--just in time to get nearly toppled over by Aoi leaping into the huddle as well.

"Geh?! E-.. aheheh..."

Despite the urge to be greedy with Shiho and keep holding her tightly to him, he reluctantly loosens his hold enough for her friends to get their hugs in without him getting in the way. That reminder of how many people she has watching her back and protecting her who obviously care deeply for her is reassuring, as well, especially since they definitely have the means to back it up when needed. One arm stays loosely curled around her, though, unless she pulls away from him, the other hand raised to ruffle his hair as he glances over to Kagari.

"Eh..? ...yeah, guess that's th'way, ain't it..."

He doesn't exactly adore the idea of having to trust in the authorities to handle this sort of thing, especially when he's pretty sure some "authorities" are tangled up with the badguys, but he doesn't really have a better idea of what Shiho and her friends could do. Running their own esper prison or whatever else would probably be a huge mess and terrible in ways he hasn't really thought through.

"...is, uh... ev'rybody else a'right?"

He takes a second to sit up a little more and look around. Now that Shiho's safe, he can remember that, oh yeah, other people exist and may have been in danger or something.

Tetsuo huffs softly at Kagari's seeming confirmation that it's not great but it's what they've got. Well, he can certainly understand how it is having to just make do, even if he doesn't like it. He's tempted to go and talk to their bosses to make sure everything is planned out to his satisfaction, but it's not like he really has leverage to make them do anything they aren't already, and he'd want to make sure it wouldn't end up with Shiho and her friends getting in trouble because of him...

He's more than a little comforted to see Shiho's friends fussing over her protectively. He definitely wouldn't have had the bandwidth to think about anything else that's going on without knowing she has so many people who can do so much supporting her. He's still caught totally off guard by the hand on his shoulder, and he blinks clueless at Kaoru.

"Huh..? .....o-oh, eheheheh, well... that's..."

He ducks his head and grins sheepishly, blushing and ruffling his hair vigorously.

"Just, uh... real glad Shiho's okay, yanno?"

Obviously a gross understatement and doesn't address him just now remembering she's not all there is to think about, but what else's he supposed to say?

It's not the first time and surely won't be the last when Tetsuo needs some details of their organizational structure spelled out for him. That sort of thing isn't really his area so much, and he'd sort of inferred there was someone older than all of them calling the shots. If only because that seemed to be the way of things usually.

That's the farthest thing from his mind, though, with Shiho cuddling up against him and safe and her friends cheerfully teasing them both, and he grins and laughs bashfully. Even if Shiho's defending him from teasing (which itself is fills him to bursting with affection for her) he really likes the sound of her friends regarding them as a cute couple, and Shiho being pouty just makes it an even more charming scene.

* * * * *

Far be it from Tetsuo to ever begrudge Shiho the opportunity to lean into him all she likes. He's already feeling much better, knowing she's so well cared for and that she's safe, and he blinks at that question, living in the moment and clueless about what she's referring to.

"Uh..? Y-yeah, 'course!"

He grins cheerfully, squeezing her a little closer for a second as he escorts her to her room. He is really good at taking the bad feelings and putting them in a box and hiding them out of sight, though, so her concern is probably valid, even if he's not seeing it at the moment. His good mood does dampen a little, though, as he thinks about it.

"Anyways, I oughta be askin' you that. ...must'a been..."

He trails off, not sure what to call it. Scary? Maybe, but he credits Shiho with a lot of bravery, and even if it was scary, would it really help to bring it up? What else could he call it? Frustrating? Infuriating?

"...Idunno, some kinda bullshit."

Not the most eloquent even for Tetsuo, but it does at least sum up concisely how he imagines he'd feel about it, without prompting her to feel vulnerable about it.
