[ Ah. Aaaah!! Shi Qingxuan stares wide-eyed down at Shino, just as shocked by this whole thing as Shino himself is. On one hand, at least his boot didn't need to come off this way.

On the other hand, he's now holding Shino's hand more closely than he's held anyone's hand, and while, yes, he can just use his spiritual powers to keep him held up, is this really the best way to grip someone's hand?! Not only that, now that he's off the branch and holding onto him, is there really any way to climb down this tree normally!? ]

This is spiritual power, this is my spiritual power! [ If you could see the arm beneath this sleeve you would fully understand that... ] Ah, while I don't mind keeping hold of you, if you can find your footing again, could you let me go? This kind if grip is a little strange...

[ Kind of...dangles him over the branch Shi Qingxuan is shifting to stand on himself? At least standing side-by-side, the position isn't as physically awkward or dangerous for Shino. Now it's just socially awkward. ]
