The day was coming up. In fact, the 'date' was supposed to be tomorrow. A part of Shun loathed Lizzy for setting this up as it was putting everything on overdrive for himself. The pressure to sort out his feelings was increasing with time and it was starting to drive him insane.
He needed some fresh air.
Leaving his minis in his room, he headed out to take a walk. Maybe this would help him clear his mind some.
Stuffing his hands into his pockets, he began to wander around the campus, looking broodier than usual. He was still pretty distracted, so he wasn't paying a great deal of attention to where he was walking.

There was a sound of glass breaking on the other side of the building Shun was passing. If he turned the corner, he would find himself in front of a bit of a mess. It wasn't glass, but crystals, and Riley was literally slamming herself into the wall to try and break her wings.
She had backed up for a good run when she skidded to a halt as soon as she'd noticed Shun coming around the corner. She'd been running too fast, however, and she wasn't used to the added weight behind her. So instead of crashing her wings into the wall, she stumbled and her upper body bounced against it instead. She'd faceplanted right into the wall of the building, and steadied herself with a backstep as her hands came up to her face.
It was a good thing she didn't have a nose.. because it would have broken.
Ow. Damn that reaper, showing up all suddenly. She blamed Shun for this.

The sound of breaking glass had snapped Shun out of his thoughts for the time being. Glancing up, he turned around the corner just in time to see Riley running right into the wall. Furrowing his brow, he stared at the Mindflayer for a few moments. What in the name of Jack was she doing?
There were bits of some shiny material on the ground, which looked like the same crystal her new wings were made of. Those couldn't have come off from one run-in with the wall. He didn't know what was going on, but it seemed like she was running into it repeatedly. What could would come of that? Perhaps she wasn't quite as capable as a leader as he first perceived. Hm.
".... Maybe I should vote for the sloth instead," he muttered under his breath.

Riley dropped her hands from her face and fisted them, stomping over to Shun and standing toe to toe with the reaper, glaring up into his eyes.
Hey. Don't you go judging me without knowing what I'm doing. Her tentacles lifted and started poking him in the chest, the waist, his sides, just to punctuate her words. She took steps forward, hopefully attempting to intimidate him into stepping backwards. You don't know what it's like to wake up one morning and look like a fairy, all right? This has nothing to do with my leadership skills. I could lead an army into battle right now, if I needed to.
She poked his rib one last time with ferocious finality.
And don't you forget it!

Shun's expression was the same as ever as Riley stormed on over to him. He was not intimidated by her. While he had the feeling and respected that she was a powerful demon, he wasn't scared to be confronted by her. The Reaper just stared cooly into her eyes as usual.... until she started to poke him. Each poke she made caused him to twitch a fair amount... to the point where he was practically writhing in place.
He didn't know what it was, but those light prods just like... shocked his body or something. His stoic expression even broke, even though he tried to remain cool. Towards the end of her little tirade, he had stopped paying attention to what she was saying because he was trying hard to not react so strongly to the prodding. He even bit his bottom lip to try and keep frowning.
The urge to smile and laugh was rising which didn't make any sense to the Reaper because he was not happy in the slightest. And thus with that last poke, he made a strange, strangled type noise before squirming back and away, staring at Riley in bewilderment.
"Jack dammit, stop poking me!" he hissed while trying to shake off the weird sensation.

Riley's anger melted away when she watched Shun twitching at her every poke. Her head tilted slowly, and both eyes rose, as she stared unabashed at the reaction.
The stoic, quiet reaper who was to blame for everything.. was he..?
Uhm. She murmured, taking a step forward and sneaking a tentacle under his jacket. No.
Whoops, Shun. It seemed once Riley found a weakness, she exploited it. And if Shun's weakness was being ticklish, a 22 tentacled mindflayer was his new worst enemy.
Hey. Hey. Hey Shun. One tentacle wrapped around his waist to keep him from running, while the rest suddenly barraged him with much lighter, much more mischievous tickles than the harsh poking she'd done before. Who's a better leader now?

Ok. Now, Shun was feeling kind of wary of the Mindflayer. Narrowing his eyes, he gritted his teeth and started to back away, but it was too late. She had caught him in one of her tentacles. s**t. This wasn't good.
Grabbing onto the tentacle, he started to try and break away, but then she started to tickle him with everything else. His eyes snapped shut as he started to squirm and writhe in her grasp. There was that sensation again, only now it was a hundred times worse than the jabs she had been giving him moments ago.
Again, he bit his lip, trying hard to to fight it off. He thought of trying to teleport away, but he couldn't focus nearly enough to do that.
In any case, he didn't answer Riley. It was a wonder if he even really heard her. Small, weird noises escaped him, as he was struggling to not burst out in laughter.

And then Riley tickled him some more. Because that's all that's going to happen until he breaks.

Shun continued to squirm away. It was taking every ounce of willpower to not laugh. He didn't know why the hell he was reacting this way but he was.
Don't break. Don't break. Don't break. Don't break.
"AHAHAHAAHAHAHA DAMMIT RI-RIL-AHAHAHAHAHA KUSSOOO"
He broke. He laughed.
And he couldn't even talk straight because of it.

VICTORY. As always, Riley acheived the goals she had set for herself, and she refused to let up even as Shun broke down and started laughing. It did, however, make her laugh infectiously, which made her tickling erratic. Nonetheless, she continued to tickle him mercilously, sneaking a tentacle to one side every time he cringed away on the other.
Say it! Say you'll vote for me, Shun! Save yourself from this grueling torture or I will.. will.. She waved her fingers menacingly. I will start to use my hands.
Well. This certainly was one way of winning votes.

Oh jack this was staring to hurt. From uncomfortable sensation to painful. Shun's legs buckled as he tried to drop down and away to see if that would provide him escape. He even summoned his daggers but he immediately ended up dropping them to the floor.
"F-AAHAHAHAAHA !! FINE I'LL AHAHAHAHHA!!"
Unable to speak still, he tried to see if things would work mentally.

Though she would have slowly pulled away triumphant after he'd spoken those words, instead Riley found herself cringing away quite suddenly at the touch of his mental voice. She pulled every tentacle away and backed up a step, her face mashing up suddenly. She was surprised at her own reaction, simply because it had never happened before, but she just.. just..
She didn't want anyone in there, anymore. And she didn't know why.
Uh. Mm. Okay. Good. She held her hand out to help him back to his feet, but she still looked hesitant, as if it was she that had been recently tortured by his hand, and not the other way around.

When she stopped and let him go, he had practically collapsed the rest of the way, gasping for breath. He felt... incredibly violated. But, he was glad that mental ping had worked. Shun had never attempted that before with the Mindflayer so he had no clue if would do anything.
He remained on the ground for a little while, trying to recover.
"What the hell were you doing to me...?" he groaned while staring at her outreached hand. The Reaper was hesitant to accept it, though he noticed that she seemed to be feeling the same way.

I was just tickling you, Shun. She rolled her eyes in exasperation. It's something people do for fun. Has no one ever tickled you before? Or at least, come close? You seem very sensitive, so it would be hard to believe.
She held her hand out for just another moment, before his staring made her retract it, and place it on her hip. Honestly, you seem to be acting like I cut you open and took out your brain. Her eyes flitted to his forehead for a moment, before returning to his gaze. And, ah, if you could do me a favor, please? Don't speak at me in thoughts. I know why you were doing it this time around, but.. for future reference. I'd appreciate it.

"I don't generally let people that close," he frowned, "Most of the time if they are it's because I'm fighting them."
Hard jabs probably overrode any sense of tickling. Letting out another breath, Shun slowly pushed himself back to his feet, dismissing the daggers that were on the ground now.
"Nice to know I have a crippling weakness," he hissed under his breath before looking over at Riley, "Yeah sure."
He didn't plan on trying to speak to her mentally all that often anyway. The Reaper just.. needed some way to communicate there.
