( sylus does stop, but perhaps not fast enough. oushi's arm manages to bump into him as sylus is mid-step, already alert for whatever might be headed to them. how didn't he notice? how did he miss it? he upturns his head, lips slightly parted on a breath, but doesn't sense anything. hell, he doesn't even see anything until—
ah.
sylus makes eye contact with the toad and some measure of understanding passes between them before the toad hops along on its merry way. at first, he says nothing, just stands completely still. then, he inhales a slightly audible breath through his nose and exhales a soft chuckle. )
[ it looked like it was something else, okay!!! ears and face burning, oushi redoubles his efforts to get back into the dorms, quickening his pace the point he might as well have been jogging. ]
