Itatata--!! [Given no time to recover between Ene's kick and Shintaro's ear-pulling, he makes comical noises of pain. But, just as he's told to, he stands up, wobbly. His shins ache, but the pain's dulled.]

... Shintaro makes it sound like I want to stay here. [Never mind the fact that he entertained the idea.] That'd be irresponsible of me. You two can't go back with a failed mission, right?

[He's caused enough trouble. So he'll let them drag him back to decide his punishment. He smiles back at Ene, but without his eyes it seems weaker and more grudging than he would've made it.]

Ene's full of energy today... so she should lead the way.
