It was probably meant to be silly and teasing in a very Souji way, and not teasing in the all-together far less wholesome way it actually sounded. Ways he wasn't going to think about. Nope. Not at all.
At some point, he realized he was just sitting there, staring, probably looking like a fool. He stabbed some more pancake, just to have something to do. "How am I supposed to know?" He finally managed to retort. Better late than never, right?
This is hideous.
