[ ruiji isn't so easily spooked, but he has a pretty deep-seated belief in curses and all that that entails (after hearing he had the face of a devil since he was born, it kinda gets drilled into your head) so for a second he gets very nervous about her suggestion that it could be him...
but then he's quick to remind himself that, technically, things had been just fine for him too till he happened upon her... SO THERE!!
but okay maybe it's best to address the possibility of a real threat right now... ]
Shit shit shit—
[ there has yet to be a flash of lightning, but the growing frequency of thunder is definitely not a good sign. he looks around hastily, running a hand over his fringe to slick it away from his face and help him see better— ]
There! [ he points towards a small flower shop nearly hidden between two large buildings a couple of blocks down from where they are. the one with the small awning... so small it will likely mean a lot more huddling together, which is what got them in this mess in the first place kinda. he's about to shout to her not to crowd him when there suddenly comes that flash of lightning, making him yelp in surprise. without thinking, he grabs her wrist and starts sprinting towards the shop. ]
