The removal may be smooth, but the wet pop when the plug comes out surprises him and makes him jump. There's a steady flow of come running down his legs when he takes his first, experimental step even before Jade's back at his side.

Shinjirou looks up, in the wrong direction. Someone has just talked to him, right? Blinking, he turns his head until Jade appears before his eyes. Yes, that'd make sense, Jade asking him that. Then what's the answer ... he's slow and his chest hurts when he attempts to straighten. He manages to shuffle forward just fine and that is some sort of walking, he guesses. Shinjirou nods, staring at Jade's shoulder.
