[Kida was out cruising the streets of Ikebukuro after school, as usual. He didn't have any end goal in mind, other than keeping his mind off his current problems (specifically: how best to protect his friends from the Slasher, and whether or not he could afford to stay away from his past mistakes if he really meant to do that with 100% of his strength). He's simply wandering, hands in his pockets, deceptively watchful for all his casual mien.
...Which is why he notices the slight figure in the newsboy cap purposefully approaching Shizuo Heiwajima.
For the first second, he doesn't move. Then his eyes dart to that too-pretty face, the gracefulness of the stranger's frame, the way they move--and then Kida's moving also, smoothly interposing himself between the strongest man in Ikebukuro and this unsuspecting girl (because she was a girl, he was certain of it, there was no fooling the eye of a true connoisseur of womanhood!).]
Ahhh, at long last, here you are! I'd almost started to think you'd stood me up, but ~OF COURSE~ I had more faith in you than that!
[With a smile and a twinkle in his eye, he firmly links arms with her, towing her away before either of them gain any unwanted, unfortunate attention from the lanky blonde smoking nearby.
He'll explain himself in a minute, but. First, more distance between themselves and Certain Death is necessary. 8|]
