He didn't answer Mizuki, he didn't need to. Did it seem like he was joking? Let alone when did he joke about something like that even. Though it didn't take Mizuki long at all to figure out the answer for himself. Saying what he did probably hinted he was a bit concerned that they were still stuck. Who knew if they had a limited air supply or not even, it looked pretty sealed so for now assume the worse.

He felt a little bad it took them both nearly dying, maybe still doing so to get him to say it. Or maybe rather admit it to himself before telling the other something that had been true for probably a while. "heh.. to be honest I though I was going to die before I got the chance to tell you." Lucky wasn't half of it, if that shard had hit anywhere else it could have meant a lung or anything else, but whatever devils luck he had the shard had missed anything vital.

Though he noticed Mizuki seemed to think on something as a hint of blush crossed the other's face before he turned his head to hide it. "yeah.. about that.. I just couldn't keep the barrier up while being distracted.." His ears went back a little not wanting to really admit that to the other. "Though you do know I see really well in the dark... so your turning your head for no reason." He shrugged a little, it was a little funny to him.
