[The moment Al recoils from Xiaolang's... energetic greeting, he can't help but blanch a little. Oh no-- was that really too loud? Sakura was always peppy and cheerful, two things that... Xiaolang certainly wasn't, and trying to emulate as much had been a struggle. Was he trying too hard at this?
But he recognizes the boy just as Al seems to recognize him-- or rather, Sakura-- right back, and he can't help but swallow down his nervousness. Just how many people did she know?
He was about to offer a greeting back, albeit a nervous one, when Al's comment about his volume gets "her" face to flush in mortified frustration.]
I--I DON'T--!!
[But he catches himself, and lowers his voice, fighting off the pink tinge in "her" face.]
It wasn't THAT loud! There's nothing wrong with a bit of energy to your greetings!
