I don't want you to end up hurting anyone in the dark.
[Yeah, he said it.
Apollo's slipping through openings in the foliage that Shiraishi probably wouldn't have noticed and would've had to have gone around instead. There is of course a downside in that any exposed skin between the neck and the ankles is likely going to get scratched up by rubbing against twigs, small thorns, and branches. Apollo's immune to that damage because of his cloak covering everything, but Shiraishi will probably not be as lucky, unless he's in long pants, long sleeves, and gloves.
One more thing that Shiraishi may not notice for a while, if at all: despite the overgrowth and good pace that Apollo's leading at, he's not making any noise. There're no sounds of twigs snapping underfoot or branches moving back into place as he passes. If Shiraishi were to listen very closely he would faintly hear Apollo's breathing and the occasional sound of a leaf getting caught on his cloak, but other than that Apollo's silent as he moves. Of course, Shiraishi is making more than enough noise for both of them, so Apollo's silence is hard to notice.]
