"I didn't say what makes y'feel cheerful- said better." She opened her mouth to say something more but felt a sharp p***k in her thumb and a tiny spot of red began to form. Nothing gushing blood, just an inconvenience at best.
"Dammit," she mumbled as she began to pick at it to try to get the glass out. With a few wiggles, it did and she put the fragment into the trash where Shun had put the rest. Then the thumb went in her mouth and she switched to scrubbing with her non-dominant hand.
After a moment she took her thumb out to look at it and said, "So what s**t? You strike me as a go running to ferget my pain kinda guy."

Shun looked up when she cursed, furrowing his brow as it seemed she managed to hurt herself. With a shake of his head, he continued to scrub away at the wall while she handled the floor.
"Training is one way, yes..." he uttered, trailing off a bit, "And nothing you would be able to help me with, anyway."

The thumb went back in her mouth as he talked and remained there even as she responded, leaving her words sounding kind of garbled. "Whaf you mean I can' helpff? M'a greaf runnin' bubby."

Shun gave her a sort of look, not answering.

The thumb came out. "Ooookay, no runnin' buddy. How 'bout food? Or drinks? Wait you don't drink ..." Except tea, and she didn't really want to bring that up right now.
"What about a hike? They got some good trails 'round the beaches here." Chel disliked the outdoors but even she could handle a good hike. Of course her hikes usually ended with a hippie bonfire and a lot of beer at the end, but that wasn't what they were talking about right now,

"Pass."
Shun grunted and continued to scrub away at the tea stains.

Chel straightened herself and pawed through a cupboard, finding another glass and held it out to him.
Her voice was earnest, without a hint of mocking to its tone. "Y'can smash away f'it makes y'feel better too. I think we got some spare cups I can dig up fer you after." What she didn't say is that most of them were from Goodwill and had Mickey Mouse or dinosaurs on them.

Shun rolled his eyes and put the glass away. No. One glass filled mess was enough for him. He looked to Chel for a moment or two, then just resumed with the cleanup effort in his brooding way.

She set the glass down on the counter.
"Y'leave me no choice," she said with a flippant sigh, setting the mug on the counter. Her arms stretched wide. "I'm gonna hug you f'you don't give me somethin' t'work with."
She began inching forward. It was a joke, but she knew Shun wouldn't take it that way.

"You have a girlfriend," Shun reminded her, taking a step back away.

"My girlfriend ain't against free hugs."
She wiggled her fingers very threateningly.

"Well she should be," he grunted, taking another step back.

And then Chel actually ran forward, reenacting her werewolf tackle.
(Except not as much force because she knew Shun was still injured and wasn't aiming to put him in pain).

And Chel skidded, putting her arms around him and hugging him from the backside.
She had an older-brother-equivalent cousin, Shun. That wasn't going to work.
She squeezed and put her head on his shoulder. "See ain't this nice?"
