[lloyd's gonna have to do better than that in an effort to make souji feel at all bothered by the reaction.]

Hmmm? [he hums out the question — curious and inquisitive, but yet lacking any sense of blame. the truth of the matter is that it's really difficult to keep a straight face while being angrily stared at by a guy in a ball pit.

never mind the fact that souji didn't even know what it was until just a little while earlier. but he's totally a serious samurai-type who cares about serious things! which obviously means that some pissy looking kid yelling at him while sitting in a pile of plastic, colored balls isn't exactly threatening him in the least. even with the balls that came flying at him in the aftermath of the shove, he doesn't seem all that fazed. (of course, half the fun is being that unsettling)

so souji folds his arms, an eyebrow quirking in amusement.]

Look at that! Even though you seem pretty angry, you're still alive. I guess there's no dangerous people-eating animals in there after all. How good to know. [not that anyone every even implied that there were. but who knows? seeing the kid's reaction could prove to be entertaining... which serves as a nice distraction from all the other weirdness about this party. and this place.]
