Hotaru kept a light stare on him, raising a brow at him. "Bull shit Theo, something's up." she said. She didn't move where she was though, she wasn't a big fan of physical force if it wasn't needed.

He held up his hands in mock surrender. "I swear it's nothing major. Nothing you need to be worried about." Theo's panic was slowly beginning to rise, and Karter took notice. Depending on how the redhead acted, the tougher and less known portion of the teen's mind would have to step forward.

"Well it certainly doesn't seem like it if you're going through so much trouble to hide it." she pointed out to him. "Just tell me so we can get it all over with, please?" she didn't want to get him nervous(well, she supposed it was kinda late for that), but she really was concerned. "I'm sure it's nothing too bad."

Theo frowned, expression turning rather scared. "C-can we please not? Please?" He could probably just start running the way they were going to get out of the woods and then hide out at the HQ for a little while. But Hotaru would be able to get at him again... At least it would let him off the hook for a little longer, anyway.

Hotaru noted the expression on his face, it actually looked a lot like the kind of expression she used to have when she was little, before she ran away from h-
Wait a second. "You're running from something." she said plainly. "Or someone, I don't know, but whatever it is you can tell me. I think you'll find that I'll be able to relate to whatever's going on." she tried assuring him. "I promise I'll keep it a secret."

Theo shook his head. No, he wasn't going to tell her or anyone else about all that. Not for a long while anyway... Maybe someday but not when so little time had passed. He couldn't find the words, and he didn't want to jinx anything.

Hotaru sighed again. "Fine." she said. "Let's just keep walking." she told him, walking back in the direction they had been before all this. Well, she had to admit that was a little unfair of her to get him to talk, might have actually ruined any chances to be friends with him. Dammit, it was times like this that she hated being so curious, but there was just something about Theo that reminded her of herself.

Theo followed behind the redhead. He stayed quiet though, a habit long pounded into him. While she wasn't talking to him, at least she didn't seem very mad at him, and that was always good. He just hoped that his current luck held until they were out of the forest, then he could make up some excuse and head off on his own. Simple.

Hotaru let the silence in for a little bit as they walked. She had to find a way to make up for being such a jerk. She really did feel bad about it, it wasn't her place to try to get him to say anything he didn't want to. She could take him to eat or something, but she had a feeling he'd want to leave the moment he saw the opening for it, she wouldn't blame him.
"Hey," she said, turning back to him while still walking. "sorry for all that, didn't mean to be so pushy, makes me feel bad." she told him sincerely. "Anything I can do to make up for it?" she asked.

Theo shook his head and put on a smile. Good, she wasn't prying. "Uh... no, it's fine... I'm fine. I don't... I don't need anything." He fiddled with his gloves unconsciously, trying not to make the situation more awkward than it was already and doing a terrible job of it.

The redhead frowned slightly. "Well, alright, just let me know if I can help you out with something." About that time she noticed they finally managed to make it out of the forest. "Can ya make it to headquarters on your own?" she asked him.

Theo nodded a bit faster than he had during any of there conversation. "Yeah, I c-can get there on my o-own." He gave a weak smile. "Th-thanks for getting me out of the forest, though." The younger Tora said, "Uh..." He didn't want to stick around, so he gave a small wave. "I'll... just... I'll see you around." He mumbled before turning in the direction of the Tora HQ and starting to walk again.
