Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I love you too," Mitsu replied in return snuggling in closer. It wasn't until his arm came to wrap around her waist did a small flinch of pain show on her face. The wound she had across her abdomen was still pretty sore so even subtle movements were a little on the painful side. She was really starting to miss the high regenerative rate she used to have.

Trying to play it off as nothing more than her shuffling about Mitsu settled in resting her head next to Desmond's. "Get some rest, I'll be here when you wake up." She said softly pressing another kiss to his lips for good measure.

Klyde continued to sleep away none the wiser to what he had uttered or might have revealed. He was in a rather peaceful dream at the moment, though it was hard not to dream about Riyo when he was surrounded by her scent.

((Roger that))

The night passed rather smoothly, leaving the occupants of the girl's dorm to finally rest. Mitsu had been in and out afraid to move too much and wake up Desmond. That and any movement on her own part often made the injury on her stomach a little sore. She had just started to drift off again when the sun finally rose, though it was hard to tell since the curtains were drawn tightly closed making the room just as dark in the daylight as it was at night. The only real indication it was morning was the clock sitting on her night stand with bright red numbers reading eight o'clock.

The time hardly mattered though, Mitsu was tired and unwilling to move. She spared an ounce of energy to snuggle closer to Desmond trying to be gentle with her movements before settling back down to rest.

Klyde was in much the same state, completely exhausted from the night before. He had obviously forgotten he was not in his own bed since he had spread out during the night, the covers going in every which direction. He was face down on the bed, one arm over Riyo while his other arm and a leg dangled off the bed.

When it seemed like sleep was going to elude her Mitsu's eyes slowly opened hearing her roommate climbing out of bed and heading toward the bathroom. Quietly Mitsu took up watching Desmond for the time being a soft smile on her face as she reached up a hand to lightly place it on his cheek. She wondered if he felt better this morning since he tended to heal rather quickly.

Under the darkness of Riyo's bed a creature awaited its time to move. This creature was one of stealth, timing, and speed. It also went by the name of Tim.

Subtly the cat moved out from under the bed (with a limp), having slept through most of the previous day and the night. Now he was ready to play and Mitsu was often one to offer up such an activity. Or at least he liked to pounce her because it made her squeal. When he was right next to the bed and cat poised himself staring at the lump in the bed, unknowing that the bulk under the blankets wasn't the person he sought. Crouching down Tim leaped up in one motion landing square on the lump under the blankets letting out a playful meow.

Now....Tim was no small cat, in fact he was bordering on being morbidly obese for a feline. His landing force was probably closer to that of a large watermelon being dropped from a one story building.

If Tim's goal had been to make Mitsu squeal he had still managed to succeed ten fold. When Desmond yelled out it frighted Mitsu to the point she shrieked falling backwards and out of her own bed. She hit the floor with a thud her legs still tangled up in the blankets leaving her on her back on the floor. With a dull moan of discomfort, Mitsu wrapped her arms around her waist trying to kick her feet free. That was hands down the worst way to get out of bed.

Tim's playful attitude was gone at the drop of a hat when he saw Desmond instead of Mitsu. The look on his face almost read 'Oh.....it's you'. With a low meow Tim jumped off Desmond onto the floor and headed toward Riyo's bed instead. When he jumped up on the lump in that bed he was also disappointed to find someone else. What the hell....

None the less he perched on top of Klyde since the vampire was still out of it and rather stationary. After a short moment the feline commenced his morning grooming ritual and began to clean his face.

Mitsu did her best to hide the pain she felt shooting through her middle. It looked like Desmond was about as shocked as she was if his face was any indication. When he came around to help her up Mitsu took one arm away from her stomach to take a hold of his so he could help her up.

"Y..yes," Mitsu confirmed as she stood up to only lean against the bed. "It's just usually not followed up by someone yelling....ummm....what you just yelled." She wasn't about to repeat it. In all honesty Desmond yelling had scared her more than Tim ever had.

"How are you feeling today?" Mitsu asked. He looked a little better, not nearly as beaten though some of the spots of pain were still apparent. Lightly she rested a hand on his chest her eyes still surveying the damage from the night before. She still seemed a little upset by it....it had been hard to come back to the room to find Desmond in such a state.

"Uuh," Mitsu hesitated for a moment. "N-no, I'm fine. Just a little startled."

Taking a seat next to Desmond she leaned against the vampire wrapping her arms around his. "Do you want me to get you anything? I imagine you're still sore. You looked like you were in a lot of pain last night." Carefully she reached up to brush the hair away from his face before resting her hand against his cheek.

Klyde finally showed some sort of movement though he failed to wake. Instead he shifted a bit so that Tim could no longer roost on his back.

Sliding off Klyde's back onto the mattress the cat gave a bit of a huff before he relocated himself to the pillow by Klyde's head. It was much more comfy anyway. Once there he resumed his bathing ritual.

The feel of Desmond so close was comfort on its own. It was enough to make her forget how much she was hurting herself at the moment. Though, something else came to mind. Something she had neglected to mention through all the chaos that had happened from last night til this morning.

Tilting her head upward so that she could look Desmond in the face she couldn't help but feel there was something on his mind. He had that look that said he was trying to decide on something. Oh well, she could at least tell him this. "I found Shun last night...or I guess he found me." He had come to save her after all....again. "He's back at his dorm now." At least she hoped he was. It would be rather devastating to find he had left again.

On the other side of the room the second vampire was just now starting to stir from his heavy sleep. In a groggy manner he started to open his eyes, a hand coming up to push away the curls from his face. He had been hoping to wake up to see Riyo's beautiful face in the morning but was blessed with a far different sight.

At first he wasn't sure what he was seeing, the image was too close to put the whole picture together. But as he moved back his head he got the whole horrible scenario. Tim was sitting on the pillow by his head, one rear leg hoisted into the air so that he could lick away at his privates for whatever reason. And the sight of the cat's cash and prizes was enough to make Klyde's stomach flop.

"God....Tim," he whined reaching up to scoot the cat off the pillow. Tim gave a meow of protest, flopping onto the mattress. His tail began to bat against the covers in irritation apparently not too happy to have been interrupted.

Letting that rude awakening settle away Klyde rubbed at his eyes trying to erase the image from his mind before looking around the room to take things in. Riyo wasn't in sight but Desmond and Mitsu were both up it seemed. "Hey...." He managed pushing back to covers trying to motivate himself to move. It wasn't working.

Mitsu smiled softly glad Desmond had taken the news so well. Since it seemed he and Shun didn't like each other she was slightly worried he would be upset, but she hadn't wanted to keep it from him. She didn't want her friendship with the assassin to be a secret among the many that she kept.

Turning to look at the other vampire in the room it was the first time Mitsu noticed Klyde was in just as bad of shape as Desmond. Last night her attention was so focused on her vampire that she barely noticed anything else.

"Uh...I feel like I've been hit by a bus full of kids going to fat camp," Klyde groaned, his stomach giving an audible grumble shortly after. "...and hungry."

Examining his torso it looked as though most of the bruising had faded though there were a few darker places still were his ribs had been broken. No doubt those were still tender but he risked pushing himself into an upright position anyway. "Ah damn....that was a bad idea..." Klyde whined wrapping an arm around his torso.

Now that he was up he could hear the water running in the bathroom so he supposed Riyo was in there taking a shower. If he was in a better state he would sneak in there with her. Though now that he thought about it the sight of her naked flesh might just make him feel better. "So how are you fairing?" Klyde asked looking over toward the two.
