[ In all honestly, Ouma's not really expecting anyone to stop him -- especially when most of the reactions seem to be on the "really..." side of things. But as he's in the process of tossing his hands behind his head and wandering off with a careless demeanor, Shuichi's voice gives him pause.
Ouma blinks, not expecting as much, stopping in his stride if only to look back (still keeping the lackadaisical demeanor about him) to just make sure that Shuichi did indeed call after him and he's not hallucinating this or whatever. But sure enough, Shuichi's stride has increased to catch up with Ouma, and Ouma feels his heart skip a beat as he's unable to decide whether the even wants this or not. He does probably, but...it sure is something to have Shuichi follow after him rather than stick with the others, especially with emotions this high. But maybe he wants to ask something or whatever -- he is the detective here, after all.
Ouma puts on a bright grin at Shuichi, both for the audience in question's sake as well as his own. ]
Huuuh? Did you need something from me, Saihara-chan?
[ Ouma thinks it's kind of funny, the level that their relationship itself has become imbedded in lies -- the necessity to speak with such obviously fake airs when talking to Shuichi with other people present.
Although they certainly don't seem to be following after Shuichi, and they definitely won't follow after Ouma, so...he can already see the others dispersing following their break-off from the group. Thank god. ]
