Sheo pursed her lips, raising a single eyebrow at Travis. She said only one word. "When?" As in, when did it happen.

"Last night..." Travis said.

Natsumi didn't say anything.

Sheo walked around the bar-counter, coming close to Travis and looking curiously straight into his eyes. After a minute of silent contemplation, Sheo said, "Hit me. As hard as you can. Do it now." in the same, quiet, calm voice.

Natsumi looked at Sheo with a confused look.

Sheo punched Travis, which, because he was stationary, would send him flying regardless of whether he was stronger than her or not. After rubbing her hand, Sheo raised an eyebrow and said, "Hit me, show me how strong you are." Still calm, not a hint of anger in her voice.

"Have you lost it!? I'm not going to hit you." Travis said as he got to his feet.

If she had not been so serious, Sheo would have laughed. As it was, she just became irritated. "Then I can't help you, idiot. Go kill a couple hundred people by accident, then, and when you come crawling back, after you lose control and kill her--" a sidelong glance at Natsumi, "--then maybe I can help you."
Which was weird. Sheo wasn't really the type of person who would help others. It might possibly have had something to do with Vincent....

Travis' eyes widened slightly. He sighed and walked forward, throwing a punch at Sheo.

Natsumi didn't say anything, but she was shocked to hear that. Would Travis really lose control and try to kill her?

--After a few minutes, Sheo pulled herself out of the perfectly-shaped hole in her extra-durable walls. Chuckling. "Damn," she remarked, dropping to her knees for another full minute before standing up and dusting off her clothing, "I wish I was still like that." It was the human blood still coursing through Travis' veins which would make him stronger than an ordinary Mythling. This effect would wear off in a month or so, but until then, Travis was stronger than either Sheo or Vincent, and quite possibly Alpha as well.
But, then again, Vincent was a true Mythling, so there might be some hidden strength he had not yet summoned to his command, but that was of little consequence at the very moment.
"Damn," Sheo repeated, shaking her head as she worked out the kinks in her body. Finally, she stretched, and then was back to normal. All someone needed to do was teach the kid how to fight, Sheo thought, and Travis would be in prime condition. If somebody taught him how to fight, he would be capable of walking straight into CL and defeating the whole place. Possibly not single-handedly, but quite close to it. The only problem was if the electronic brainwashing was still affecting Travis, and/or if CL knew of any Mythling weaknesses.

Natsumi's eyes widened when she saw what happened. She was speechless.

Travis just looked at Sheo, then down at his hands, dumbfounded.

When Sheo walked, she nearly pranced, moving between Natsumi and Travis to slip into her room for a brief moment. When she came back, she was holding two things.
The first object was a clear, plastic box with four syringes. The word 'Sedative' was labeled across them. In the other hand was an ice pack. That was for Sheo's head.
"Here," Sheo said, almost cheerfully, as she dropped the box in front of Travis, who would have the reflexes to catch it. "...Those special chemicals are possibly the only non-lethal substance that can knock a Mythling out cold. Their needles...." Sheo did not go on about the needles. They were an alloy possessing silver nitrate, just a tiny amount, so it would be able to pierce a Mythling's skin. A regular needle would break off before it got completely through.
"...You won't have full control of your strength, your speed, and all the rest of your physical body," Sheo instructed Travis, "so be very careful until you get the feel of it. Like learning how to drive a new type of vehicle."
Sheo hesitated slightly, then her glance fell to Natsumi. "I'm sure I don't need to say this," Sheo added slowly, to Travis, "but don't try to sleep with her. You'd kill her."
Then, becoming slightly perky again, forgetting the last sentence as if it were just a casual remark about the whether, Sheo hopped over to her refrigerator. Opening it, she pulled out a bottle of water.
"Citric acids are a no-go," Sheo continued with instruction, "but water and mild foods you can still eat. You still get hungry, but you can replenish your energy with sleep instead of food, if you have to." This also meant no spicy or too-sweet foods, and no sour foods either.
Sheo then placed the bottle of water on the counter-bar, before standing in the middle of the kitchen, hand poised at her chin, thinking on whether she'd forgotten anything or not.
