"I..It's okay," Mitsu said softly taking the sandwich. "B..but it's not over yet. Maybe we can still make it a nice trip." She at least sounded optimistic about it as she nibbled at the sandwich halfheartedly. "I...at least got to spend some time with you." She offered more quietly as if that fact alone could outweigh all the crazy stuff that had happened thus far. "And we can always...try another time?" In a way it was at least letting him know that she wouldn't mind trying this again.

Before taking a bite out of his own, Shun looked towards Mitsu and smiled faintly as she pointed out some of the nicer parts of today. It was true that he had gotten to spend time with her and got to know her a little better and vice versa. Though.. he wasn't really sure if her knowing what she did now really was a good thing.
"That is very true.." he said quietly before finally taking a bite and murmuring something else, "I.. really do enjoy being around you."
Shaking his head to himself, he glanced over towards the carcass nearby while wondering if he could somehow use that as fuel for a fire. It probably wasn't too likely since it was a fresh kill.

Mitsu smiled a little continuing to nibble at her sandwich. In an effort to prevent the silence from looming on she tried to think of some questions to ask. Things to talk about. But there was really only so much on her mind. So, how often do you go out and kill people? seemed like a horrible thing to ask.
"So, did you come here...often before? N..not here I mean but the look out point you wanted to show me?" That seemed like a plausible question. Shifting again she turned enough to look up at him, though they were rather close so she basically had to tilt her head back to really see him.

Glancing down at her, Shun took another bite of the sandwich before answering her.
"Not too often, but I've been here a handful of times. Sometimes... to kinda get away from everyone and the insanities of life," he said quietly. While there wasn't a whole lot that got to him, he still had his moments where things seemed a little too overwhelming. It was nice to be able to escape.. if only for a short time.
"Do you.. any places like that?"

Mitsu tried to think. A place to get away. "I...I did." She said softly. Desmond used to be her safe haven, that happy place she could go to ignore her problems for a little while. It wasn't actually a place but it still served the same purpose, or at least it had. Though, now that she thought about it she wasn't complete left without a safe place to let her guard down. Shun had offered her safety and comfort...and still did. "I guess I still do." She continued. "It's not really so much a place though...I..I don't like to be alone."
Forgetting the sandwich in her hands, Mitsu fidgeted with the necklace around her neck. She sighed a bit with a sad smile on her face. "I feel like I have a lot of fears and some of them are really silly I know....I wish I could be more like you. You seem really fearless. You can climb the cliff side without a problem, face an angry wolverine....you even jumped in the water after me when you can't swim."

There was a hint of confusion and curiosity in Shun's eyes at first, wondering what she could mean when she said it wasn't a place. However, the latter part of the statement gave him some ideas. Though, since she wasn't specific, he had a few ideas of who it could be. It may have been her brother before, but for the now... he supposed it could either be himself... or Desmond.
His eyes shifted downward as she started to fidget with her necklace but his expression softened as she went on about fears.
"I might not fear much... but I'm not without it," he admitted. Most likely he wouldn't have if it were around anyone else. It wasn't very often that he would admit something like this, "You... don't really want to be like me. My soul is calloused and... really not all that nice. Yours.. has a sort of beauty about it that no one else I've met really has. I know very little of emotions and haven't really experienced many of the .. nicer ones. "

Mitsu smiled softly at his comment about her, relaxing into him a little. "I don't think you give yourself enough credit. You've been a very good friend to me." But now she was curious. "So what is it...that you are afraid of?"

Feeling her relax, Shun rested his chin on her shoulder once more as he shifted slightly in place. There was some comfort in her words but it didn't do much to change how he felt on that matter.
"I'm afraid of losing you... or Bent-Tail for that matter," he said quietly, "I'm... in a way, also afraid of what I might become. That I may turn out like my father... or become worse."
The things he feared were less physical in that right, which probably had to do with the fact that he didn't really fear his own death. And while he was numb to a good majority of the wrongs he did, he knew it wasn't right. There were still things Kaitou did that made even Shun a little uncomfortable. He didn't want to completely lose himself.

Mitsu looked toward Shun again when he mentioned he was afraid of losing her or Bent-tail. She could understand that fear, it was one she had herself....on top of many others. As far as his other fear. "You're strong, Shun and you are kind. No matter what I don't think anything can change that about you. Your father, your......your job." She was a little hesitant to say it, admitting it was difficult since her mind really and truly didn't want to believe it.
"W...why don't you ask me something?" She offered. They had plenty of time to kill it seemed, since their clothes wouldn't be dry for a while. Why not get to know one another a little better? It wasn't like some of the darker secrets hadn't crept out.

It was strange to be considered kind. Before meeting Mitsu no one would have said anything like that about him. Others generally thought the opposite of him, not that it's really ever affected him all that much.
Thinking to try and come up with something, Shun eventually quietly asked, "Have you ever felt love?"
It may have seemed strange for him to ask such a thing, but as he mentioned he didn't know much about that. It had him wondering what some of those things may be like. Maybe the more he knew about various emotions or how they might feel, the easier the time he'd have figuring out what was going through his mind. He didn't think it was love, seeing how he didn't think he was capable of it, but it just seemed like a good one to start with.

"Eh? L...love?" That question caught her a little off guard. "I..." She thought about it a minute before she tried to continue to answer. "I have, though in different ways. I love....loved," Past tense was tough to say and she squeeze the ring on her necklace all the more as she continued. "My brother. He was my only family and I was close to him. I love my friends, they make me smile and help me through tough times," With her free hand she reached for one of Shun's to give it a squeeze. "But love in the sense of a couple I don't know. I thought I knew, was sure at one point, but now I'm just confused about it."

Furrowing his brow as Mitsu struggled at first, Shun listened carefully. In that regard, he suppose he may have experienced it to some extent seeing how Bent-Tail was like a brother to him. He didn't know for sure though. Squeezing her hand gently, he tilted his head as she continued on.
"Why is that?" He asked when she said she was confused. The assassin figured it was one of those things where you either knew or you didn't. That's... sort of how it was depicted in media at times. "If.. you don't mind answering that is."

"Umm..." Well she certainly hadn't thought that through. She wasn't sure she was ready to elaborate on how she potentially felt about Desmond or him. Too bad she didn't remember she already kind of had. "I don't know exactly." She started suddenly finding the stitching in his jacket very fascinating. "I..." She fell silent trying to think out her words, her body suddenly giving a shiver before she sneezed. It didn't seem like she was cold, on the contrary, she was still rather warm, her face flushing the more she tried to think over what she wanted to say.
"Maybe I'm broken....its hard to understand," She finally said trying to say it in a lighthearted tone.

Shun was watching her fairly intently, but it seemed that even she wasn't so certain as to why. He tried to think on it but came up with nothing due to the extent of what he knew. The assassin, however, could not help but frown at her answer, light tone or not.
"You're not broken..." he said softly before raising a hand to lightly brush against her face, "You may have gone through a lot lately but you aren't broken.."

Mitsu closed her eyes feeling his cooler hand brush across her hot face. For having nothing on and still having damp hair she felt like she was burning up, though it was mostly from embarrassment at this point.
Smiling faintly she hoped to steer the conversation in a different direction, "So umm...you play guitar. What made you pick it up?" She couldn't help but shift again, sitting so close was becoming increasingly more awkward the longer time went on. They may have been intimate....but if anything that made her feel all the more embarrassed.
