[ Indeed, the fact that Blade had easily approached him before the shoot to ask about the specifics of the game and stream had totally thrown Tomura for a loop. He kind of expects half of the weirdos he meets these days to be from a pre-electricity era or some magic woowoo land where lights ran on good vibes, and Blade had definitely been mentally sorted into that part of the half. At the very least, he hadn't expected the man to be particularly knowledgeable about either of the topics that concerned today's script, but the surprise isn't necessarily bad.
Anyway, it's nowhere near as surprising as getting called kitten by this guy... Even if the delivery comes out rather flat, that makes him feel like jumping even more than the fingers brushed against his neck, because who is this man? There is some veritable clash right now between Tomura's perception of him and the role he's rather dutifully trying to fulfill... But come on, doesn't that kind of dialogue just drip cringy tryhard? His name is Blade, but still—
That makes up the bulk of his bewilderment as Tomura twists his head to catch Blade in his peripheral. ]
Sit? There's a chair right there—
[ Of course there's another chair for the guest; while this is meant to be a porno, having an extra seat gives the actors more options—that's probably what the crew was thinking. In this case, however, it just makes whatever this is meant to build towards even more confusing for Tomura, until SIT ON TOP OF HIM flashes onto his screen. Oh... like that. He's not exactly a fan of the idea while he's meant to be gaming, but evidently the plan here isn't to let him actually enjoy the game—and if he's gotta be in this for a little, he might as well go all in. But being still uncommitted to the acting part, Tomura wears a not-very-in-character frown as he sets his headphones aside and peels himself out of the chair to make room for the other man. ]
