[ It's a sign of just how bizarre Shadow's life has become that he doesn't really react to the sight of the spikes. He sees it, processes it, and figures that this stranger is either not human, or they're someone like him. Someone who shouldn't be here; someone who's been snatched away from their world and given a power that they shouldn't have.
And it's a sign of how accustomed to dangerous situations he is that Shadow doesn't back away from the hunched, clearly angry figure. (Or perhaps it's just a sign that he really needs to work on his self-preservation instincts.) Instead, he takes a step closer, hands raised slightly at his sides to show that he's unarmed. ]

Are you sure? That looked like it hurt.
