[Kaede is in this for a laugh, a distraction, a what-will-he-do-now if nothing else - that much is true. But in contrast to the lazy and confident control he's had of the situation until now, what he gets when his arm is grabbed is surprise. It occurs to him to think this is taking a turn for the worse, he's run into a serial killer or something and since this looks like nothing more than a respectable businessman throwing a rowdy delinquent off a train, no one will pay them any mind-- but he doesn't actually think it. Not seriously. He's genuinely surprised, and it shows on his face without any effort from him to mask it as he's literally dragged off the train.
When they've stopped moving and he's let go, he's tugging his sleeve into place when it occurs to him that this is something he would do. He's probably done this before, actually - yanking someone off a train at the wrong stop. The only difference is that he does it to people he actually knows, but something about the unexpected action holds his attention where he'd likely be better off taking some return trip fare and getting the hell out of there.
Belatedly he wonders, Doesn't this guy have somewhere to be? He's made no mention of this being his stop either, nor is he rushing to get rid of Kaede and get back on the next train. Kaede watches the one they've just left slowly pull out of the station curiously, then looks back at his train-hopping companion. This isn't his neighborhood, he never comes to this stop, what kind of help is this really...
Hmm.]
I hope so, or dragging me off the train like that might put me in a bad mood later.
[But he's not here because he's in a rush to get home, so without any ceremony he slings an arm around the other man's shoulders in camaraderie, like they're old friends and not strangers from a train. Without waiting he turns to steer them away from the station and see what there even is at this stop besides other people's houses, alright...]
Dunno about you, but I'm sick of the train today. That takes 'return fare' off the list, so what's your next big idea?
