[ when he said he'd be there soon, he meant it, his speed allows for him to cut a great amount of time to find them at the supposed meeting spot though, if he hadn't made a small spot maybe he could have come here sooner. not exactly where he thought they'd be, nor are they doing what he thought they'd be doing. he's been here for some time now, crimson eyes staring at a distance, his feelings gently shifting between irritation and contentment.
should he be angry at what he sees, it's not exactly anything he's ever asked for or would. maria's health comes first, he knows not to push her strength too far, or use up what energy she has. he's very much aware what will happen because she's sick so he has to account for every single thing that she does when he is around, but there are times like this where it's out of what he can prevent.
especially when this action makes her so... happy, her movements have just a little grace to them but she seems to go with the motion of what feels right. his gaze turns to the fake by her side, it's this moment that he fully takes in his appearance. other shadow... he wouldn't so much call that copy his name, but the way he gently takes care of maria in their shared dance is almost like he understands how precious that young girl is.
he should be angry, he could kill distance and knock him away from her, tell maria not to trust him due to their previous encounter, but he hasn't done anything that warrants shadow's malice. all he's done are unpolished steps, but they make her smile, she's enjoying everything about it.
that copy even has the audacity to wag his tail briefly?
shadow does very well at keeping his feeling at bay, not wanting to interrupt, he turns to the direction he just came from, figuring he can follow up here later. he doesn't want to leave maria here with him but us it because he's kinder and more open to these things that it'd be best?
fio had said people should treat their lives with care, so this could be one of those things. there's a box in his hand that he gently shakes, he can come back once they've had their fun. though, he doesn't realize their fun is being wrapped up as the applause from inside the colosseum leaks to the outside. ]
