[ There's the faintest of flinches at hearing the mention of why Shido won't be able to kill him. He's trying his hardest to adjust to this... development? But it's still another matter entirely to hear it said so casually. His jawline tightens, but that hint of a smile...
... After a small nod, he does eventually relax at the next words. Seeing that blush, too, helps. Namely considering it's both of them blushing. Holy shit, victory?
One hand moves to his mouth, fingers gently curled as he releases a quiet chuckle. But... of course. D-damn it, that wording. His brow tenses a little, the hand shifting to cover the lower hand of his face.
... Is he actually bristling the tiniest bit? And is he turning just a little redder as he realizes Kurama has managed to get under his skin enough to have him reacting that way? ... yep.
It's not every day someone can fluster him via two casually-tossed words, and this "weakness" is... different. Maybe a part of it is it being exploited during a time when there are already so many other emotions flying around? Either way... HUFF.
And as though it could shield his face at all, really, he moves the hand to twist a strand of bangs. His head is ducked down ever-so-slightly. HE'S ALREADY MADE A FOOL OF HIMSELF, LET HIM RIDE THIS EMBARRASSMENT COASTER THE REST OF THE WAY, HE GUESSES... ]
... You know some of the effects of that will wear off eventually, right? Faster, if you abuse it.
[ ... Right, universe?
He won't always blush like an idiot, right......? ]
