[Watching Shoyo desperately try to contain his excitement is, frankly, enough to bring a full smile back to Miles' face. It spreads wide across his features, wrinkling his eyes and pulling an airy little laugh from his throat. Seems that the kelpie has already met other heroes but, it's not like they're exceedingly rare in Ryslig, by the looks of it.]
Well, my powers were like... mutated abilities a spider would have, so...
[He pauses, and then he grabs at the hem of his hoodie and lifts it—exposing the hole in his chest, with eerie mist belching out around the ribs of his rib cage. The shape of the hole is uncannily spider-like, and what he exposes isn't skin either... It's his suit, albeit fused with his torso.]
[ maybe miles wasn't expecting silence. maybe that silence was . . . worrying, but not when a good look on shoyo's face is given. he's attempting to process it, glimpsing into the open chest cavity only to realize— the placement. the shape. his features may stay that way, for a bit: his mouth was extending, and his brows furrowed now with each passing second he's left speechless. ]
You're . . . !! You're—?!
[ look, it's just between them, like literally between them. no one is watching when shoyo turns halfway toward miles only to signal with both hands— and make a weird noise. poor guy. he's trying to word. can he not say it anymore?? he can't say it. this is a secret! not even mj knows and now just lil' ol' him, rando volleyball player from japan up and befirends spider-man—?! ]
[Miles mimics the motion with his hands, although nothing happens with it because he doesn't actually have his web-shooters. It's actually kind of upsetting, considering how much he misses them but...]
It's actually kinda against secret-identity code to tell anyone but, I trust you... Also, my spider suit has been like, fused with my body for months now, and I need to tell someone about it because now it's basically like my skin and that's weird.
[ it takes a grandiose amount of effort on shoyo’s part to contain his voice and the jittering under his skin like rolling drums. but, he manages, channeling it through a spreading grin that flashes his teeth and even some of his blue, glowing gums, along with pumping fists at his sides. ]
My friend, [ spider-man he hushes just short of a squeal, and now? now miles deserves his shoulders being shook. ] and you’re trusting me, I—
[ he’s speechless, and what he’s feeling is some ways beyond words. ]
Thank you?! Just— Man, this is— beyond awesome and I’m trying really hard not to jump all over the place—!
[ he really is! his fidgeting is off the charts. ]
You were amazing before that, and now you’re just— woosh!
