"Nice to meet you, Sabitsuki."

Shindou was just about back on even-kilter, reaching out to give the girl's hand a light shake, when she smirked and dropped that tidbit about his music tastes. Without thinking, he tilted his head "yes" - but the rest of him was lighting up with concern again. He hadn't even felt her dipping into his thoughts. For that matter, he hadn't even been thinking about music!

"...Could you not do that?" Politely but still plainly a touch bothered. "I'm not great around psychics. With keeping them out and things like that."

"Sorry. Just thought it'd be easier than giving you a shakedown for information; didn't even go too far, anyway." Said with an added, casual shrug of course.
She doesn't see the big deal, after all; not the kind for blackmail and all that.

"... You should come by my room some other time instead, then. I can't be out here too long or I start hacking up things I probably shouldn't, so it's not like I can stand around chatting you up...
As much as I'd like to."
This kid interests her, after all - such a weak mental barrier. Poor kid didn't even notice.

"It's fine." He shrugged back weakly. All in all, it wasn't the weirdest position his mental vulnerability had put him in here. "It's just strange, not knowing what you're looking at."

"Invasive" was a better word. "Hacking up things," however, pulled his attention away from that subject. He'd thought those coughs from before hadn't sounded like they came from a winter chill. That made it sound really serious...

"Oh. You should get inside, then." He glanced back towards the front of the building, where some of his fellow gym students could be seen jogging by on their own laps. "I need to get back to class, anyway. What room are you in?"

"I'm in [insert a room here heh]. You better swing by later, okay?" she says, adding an actually friendly look smile to it. She doesn't get a lot of people to talk to, after all.
Having him around might be nice.

... Oh - though she definitely has to add --
"If you talk to a guy with crosses on his eyes though - you and me? Never met. Got it?"
All in all said pretty seriously. Shindou meeting Smile... probably definitely maybe won't go well. Perhaps.
