Carmine looked over at Shiki just as the other boil broke into a gleeful grin at their antics. The bat demon couldn't help but share in his excitement and gave a huge grin back, showing off the sharp fangs in his tiny mouth.
Never before had Carmine seen a spider that squinted its eyes, and this only made him wonder if this was actually a spider at all. However, he quickly got distracted and forgot about that train of thought entirely.
When Shiki stopped, it took about three paces before Carmine also stopped and turned back to look at him, tilting his head slightly. When the boil voiced his concerns, Carmine broke out a small smile, "Oh no, those woods are outside of the school campus. The dorms are on the other side of these woods, it's just a small patch of trees really."
He hoped that he was able to calm the kitsune's nerves a bit, and motioned for him to join back up with Carmine and continue their quest in following the party hat spider.
