Watching Riyo move to investigate whatever was left behind the lycan didn't expect it to be tossed at her. There was a small squeak of surprise as Mitsu fumbled to catch the object and finally managed to grasp it firmly in her hands.
"W..what is?" Finders keepers? Curiously Mitsu looked inside the small bag her ears standing up in alarm. This was a lot of silver seeds. "I..I can't take this." Mitsu said closing the bag up tight. "W..we should return it to him." So she wasn't rich, that didn't mean she was going to keep money that wasn't hers.

For the love of-
Looking towards the lupine with irritation, Riyo sat the binder and her umbrella down on the table to approach the ghoul.
As soon as Felix felt raindrops on his head, the hazcat awoke, quick to find the nearest cover... Which just happened to be the table.
With an irritated meow, he looked at the two ghouls, waiting for the two of them to finish whatever they were doing. What was Riyo up to?
Hands reaching for Mitsu's shoulders, the feline tried to look into her equally red eyes through the mask. "Mitsu. It's okay." She attempted to emphasize on each word. "Let me tell you something. Lyle is very stingy about his money. The fact that he left it here is more of an insult to me than a mistake by him." Riyo imagined if she had been alone, he would've tossed them at her and told her to buy herself a nice d... Feminine attire.
"And if that doesn't help, think of it this way. I write his paychecks. Technically, his money is my money. Now I'm giving it to you."

Ears suddenly perked in alarm at the Riyo's look of irritation. The lycan took a step back but Riyo had a much larger stride. As the feline's hands fell on her shoulders Mitsu froze, her ears falling back as she looked up at Riyo in a pitiful manner. Those crimson eyes behind her mask were wide, staring at Riyo with confusion.
It was okay? But it was his money. Money that he had no doubt worked hard to earn. It wasn't right to take it. "B..but..." Mitsu started softly her hands clutching the bag tightly, the umbrella no longer giving her much cover from the rain. "I..I don't feel right taking it."

Riyo's face contorted into anger when Mitsu still refused, but then an invisible lightbulb popped over that victorian-clad head of hers. The feline's eyes widened as the almost simplistic thought caught her by surprise.
Stepping back from the wolf ghoul, she reached into the pocket of her trench coat and pulled out her own coin purse. Pouring Lyle's silver seeds into her pocket, she filled the now empty bag with her own silver and offered it to Mitsu. "A gift from me." Why was she doing this? Certainly not to be generous. She was doing it to prove a point.

Mitsu clutched the bag even tighter as Riyo's face shifted to anger. The fur on her tail began to bristle and in the back of her mind she really wished Shun was here. It was like...reverse bullying. Except instead of taking her money Mitsu was having money forced on her.
As Riyo stepped back Mitsu relaxed a little watching as the feline took the coin purse and emptied its contents into her pocket and filled the bag back up with her own money. When Riyo offered the bag back out to Mitsu she hesitated.
"A..a gift?" Ears twitched for a moment as they fell back again. This didn't really...feel like a gift. It mostly just felt like Riyo was trying to force money on her. But why was she refusing? Mostly because it didn't feel right. "I..I...I don't know. W..why are you giving this to me?" Mitsu asked curiously her hands clutching her umbrella tightly.

By this time, Riyo was getting thoroughly soaked from discarding her umbrella. "Yes, a gift." She repeated when Mitsu questioned it, her eyes narrowing down again. She wasn't going to take it, was she? Dear sweet Jack, she was practically throwing money (wait, she actually HAD thrown it) at the ghoul, and she still didn't want it. What the ******** was up with her?
"I have plenty of money, and I don't want to give it back to him." He was a terrible person. Mitsu had probably sensed that, and yet she still wanted to give him the money back...

"I...I just don't feel right taking it." Mitsu said softly staring at the pouch. It might not have been a lot of money to the ghoul but it was a lot of money to Mitsu. She had appreciation for it and because of that she couldn't just take it without earning it.
Maybe...this was one of those times she should stand up for herself. Shun would tell her to voice her opinion and not get pushed around. "Thank you, Riyo. I really do appreciate the offer, but no. I can't take it." She wondered what Shun would say? Would he be proud that she stood up for what she thought...or think she was being foolish for turning money away.

Really? ******** really? Today was the day Mitsu decided to give her the proverbial finger.
At first, Riyo looked confused. Then angry. Then angry and confused. And wait, was that sadness? What the hell?
"Mitsu, you don't understand! He-" Cutting herself off, the feline's face went blank for a minute. She was about to divulge something she swore to tell nobody. That was a big no-no. BIIIG no-no.
With a frown, she tossed the bag of coins back on the table and pulled out a chair to have a seat just out of the large umbrella's reach. This was getting out of hand. It was just a stupid bag of seeds. Why was it so important that she take it?
A hand slowly reached up to remove her top hat and sit it under the umbrella, the item being too precious to her to let it soak up the rain. "I suppose it's hypocritical of me to expect you to speak your mind, yet accept everything I say." She mumbled, glancing at the bag with disinterest. "It's good that you refused it. You shouldn't let people walk all over you for the sake of making them happy. If you do that, you'll find yourself miserable with who you are and what you've become." Speaking from experience? Or just speaking to hear herself talk?
"I'm sorry." She finally said, avoiding eye contact with the masked ghoul.

Mitsu had really done it now. She had stood up for herself and was going to be screamed at because of it. At least that's what she thought. Riyo's face had started in that direction but turned..confused and then to...was she sad?
The sentence Riyo had started died off as she tried to explain something but failed. He....he what? Mitsu didn't ask though. If Riyo wanted to tell her she would have.
Pausing as the feline continued Mitsu stepped a bit closer as Riyo took a seat at the table. It seemed the feline was speaking from experience in this case, or at least that's what Mitsu could gather from her tone. The lycan also knew that standing up for yourself didn't always gain a positive response. Sometimes you could be severely punished for it...but she wasn't going to share that.
Instead Mitsu stepped up beside Riyo and hesitantly reached out a hand to pat the feline's arm. She hadn't been keen on the idea of hugging but maybe a pat on the arm would be okay? "I-It's okay...really. I know you didn't mean anything by it."

Yeah... Didn't mean anything by it. How did she know? Glancing down at the hand on her shoulder, Riyo could feel a warmth rising in her cheeks, but she didn't say anything about it. This was difficult... Interacting with Mitsu on a regular basis and trying not to upset her. The ghoul felt like every other thing she said somehow hurt or scared the sensitive lycan.
"So... What do you want to do now?" By this point, the cat demon was soaked to the bone with rain. Not that she was complaining, it was her fault for sulking under the pouring sky. "If you would rather go back to the campus, that's fine too."

Mitsu wasn't certain if her words were comforting or not but it seemed Riyo was ready to move on to other things. "You're all wet." Mitsu pointed out. "If you want to explore we can, I don't mind walking around. It might be best to get out of the rain for a while so your jacket can dry off." Otherwise the poor feline might catch a cold.

"I'll be fine... I haven't been sick since I was a small child."
Riyo realized her folly as soon as the words escaped her mouth. ********, now she was sure to get sick. She had SAID something about it, so it would happen. That seemed to be the way bad things went for her anymore.
Eh, maybe not though. As she said, sickness was a stranger to her anymore...
Quietly, the feline reached for her umbrella (not that it would do her much good at this point), and opened it back up. At least it would keep her hat and papers dry. As for the bag of seeds, she left it there. Riyo certainly didn't want Lyle's dirty money.
"Lead the way, Mitsu." The ghoul sighed as he stood up.
Felix didn't seem keen on taking a ride from a soaked owner, so he opted to walk behind her instead. it was a big umbrella, after all.
Too bad he'd forgotten about the puddles.

"I..If you say so." Mitsu took a step back as the feline stood from her seat and opened her umbrella once again. The lycan wasn't sure that it was the greatest of ideas to leave the directions in her hands but...oh well it was adventure time right? Maybe they could stop by the mini pet shop so that Mitsu could pick up some more fear candy for Milo.
The lycan only made a small glance toward the money Riyo left sitting on the table. Should she say something? No...perhaps not. "This way, I guess." She said softly taking careful strides toward the pet store.

Riyo loved how confident Mitsu sounded as she directed them towards a new destination. The feline certainly didn't think of this as an adventure. More like a train wreck waiting to happen.
And wouldn't you know it? Somehow the rain managed to get WORSE. Were they walking into tornado country or something?
"MITSU." Riyo practically had to yell over the crashing drops. "I THINK IT'S GOING TO START-" CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH.
"OH JACK THUNDER AND LIGHTNING." Almost immediately Riyo's fur bristled out, and a certain hazcat jumped up on her back and clung to her coat. It was already ******** loud when she was in her room, but this was almost deafening.

The rain didn't bother Mitsu, being wet didn't bother Mitsu, the loud noises and flashing lights....that bothered Mitsu. The thunder clapped loudly and the lightening flashed and suddenly Mitsu was not where she had originally been standing. Instead she had abandoned her umbrella to huddle close to Riyo, hands reaching out to grab hold of the feline's arm.
The thought that Riyo didn't like hugs was the furthest thing from Mitsu's mind at the moment as she stared wide-eyed through the holes in her mask, nervously anticipating the next clap of thunder. "M-m-maybe we should head back.."
