[ Urk— Kido stops, not because she doesn't want to trip backwards down the stairs, but because she doesn't want him to stretch the hoodie out, oversized as it already is, bringing her hand up to slap Mondo's away if he doesn't immediately let go of it. ]

...It's a forest in the middle of summer, so there will be bugs everywhere.

[ Gross... it's fine as long as she doesn't think about it, but now that she's thinking about it, she's just going to imagine bug swarms every time something itches. She tugs her sleeves down a little more over her hands before shoving them into her jacket pockets. Like this, with her hood up and with long sleeves and pants, she's completely covered up, the only skin showing being her eyes and, like... one pant leg rolled up to her knee, which google tells me is a fashion statement symbolizing her membership in a gang, because she thinks that's cool... That one leg is going to be covered in bug bites by the end of the week. ]

But— ugh, fine, alright! The faster we get there, the sooner we can get out of here. Go on, hurry up and lead the way.
