Shun certainly was not expecting Chel to suddenly pour her story out to him like that. While she spoke, he folded his arms over his chest and listened, remaining silent throughout. His good eye narrowed and his hands clenched to fists.
"...Why did you make a deal with Merlin of all people?" he asked finally once she had finished talking. Talk about bad choices. Shaking his head, he soon let out deep sigh.
"Even with all of that, why do you continue this alliance? Given your history, is working this deeply with me really that much of a good idea?"
Here he was, infiltrating the ranks of hunters sort of. Granted he wasn't planning anything against them. This time. But still.

"Because Merlin offered a way out at the time. Turned to s**t of course. Like everythin' else he does." Chel had learned her lesson, not just in physical retribution, but in every "why did you do that?" she'd heard after too.
His question had her pushing herself off the wall. "Because yer my friend. Halloween, hunters; s'all just lines they draw in the sand." His second question at least got a smile out of her. "Not really a good judge of good or bad ideas. Just do what I want anyways."

"Even if it could potentially end in your death? While you hunters are considerably more resilient than normal humans... you still are very mortal."
Not that Halloween was truly immortal, but it was still a hell lot harder to kill one.
"I plan on acquiring a different coat in the future. I have noticed that you all do not have a completely standard... attire. Same basics, but everyone's coat looks different. ... I might have dirtied and partially destroyed yours but it would still be better off if I used something completely different."

Chel had thought about her death far too much for a nineteen year old.
"If I die I'll just come back as a ghost 'an haunt you," she said, making clawing motions with her hand. Jokes were how she chose to face the unknown.
She expected as much regarding the coat. "F'you ever need a portal in for a good reason just say the word man," she told him earnestly. "Not sure I can snag another coat 'cause the quartermaster's a b***h, but ... You can keep mine for a while to copy over there." She scratched the side of her head. "You got tailors and stuff right? Make clothes the same way?" Honestly? She had no idea.

"Of course we do. However... I happen to know where there is a spare coat, unless it has moved since I last saw it..."
He had no idea if Amrita still had Stacy's coat. Or for that matter... wasp, as Hel like to call her.

"Coat's only good f'you know what yer gonna use it for," she said with a shrug.
Masquerading was fine, but why you were masquerading was more important.

"I have ideas. It is not as if running into you lot is all that rare. You may not always have answers that others may have."

Chel snickered.
"What you gonna do, carry a fanny pack and whip out yer coat in a phonebooth like yer some kind of goddamn superman?"

Oh right. "Superman's like the original superhero for us. Super strength, flies around, lazer vision, impervious t'bullets- all that s**t."
"Listen, f'you gonna try to pass as one of us, you gotta know our s**t. F'you don't know something, tell people you were homeschooled or like ... didn't get a TV when you were little." That was the best she could do with Shun's ... him-ness.

"That is your hero? That sounds like it could be one of us."
Humans.
Shun rubbed his head.
"Yes. Yes. I know. I was considering getting a passport before too long. Best way to learn is to just... be in the human world for awhile."

Chel cracked a smile. "It do, don't it."
She pulled out her cell phone and waved it. "When yer there, get one of these. Essential for humans." And who knew- maybe hunter cell coverage was good enough to reach elsewhere. She doubted it though. Stingy bastards.
Chel let out a long breath and said, "Well now you know my whole deal. One day I'll crack yours."

"I know what a bloody phone is. We use them too, remember?" he stated dryly. And in the more urban parts of Halloween, they were used pretty frequently as well. He couldn't say for certain for the areas that were more out there.
"You already know some of it," Shun quietly spoke. She knew about what had happened to Mitsu.

"Well yeah, but yers ain't gonna work in the human world. Gotta have our kind!" Because duh Shun. Because duh.
She gave his shoulder an awkward pat. "Only what you wanted t'tell. Don't push yerself or nothin', s'none of my business."

"Yeah, yeah," Shun grumbled, before he gave her a raise of his eyebrow, "I am not the sharing sort of guy."
