Welcome to Gaia! ::

And for once Mitsu couldn't her what Shun had said. Her human ears gave her no acute hearing what so ever. She simply sat and stared at her laptop.

Brought back from her trance like state Mitsu's eyes widened and she looked at Shun with an expression that clearly said 'How could you ask something like that?' She shook her head. No, she would never regret meeting him, knowing him, and loving him. Sure there were things about Shun that irked her at times. His lack of care for himself, that blurred line of moral, and his easy ability to kill. No one was perfect though. Least of all her.

Looking to the computer Mitsu felt it worth while to flip it open again though she had to wait for it to load. When she was finally where she needed to be she typed away on the keyboard. 'I love you Shun. There is nothing you could do to make me regret that. Nothing. You are not perfect but neither am I. You're flaws are as much a part of you as your good qualities and without both you wouldn't be who you are. Do you think I am so fickle to turn you away because I am upset?'

There was a moment's pause before she added. 'And you need to eat.'

Mitsu's eyes were downcast before she tried to focus on her computer again. 'After what happened.' She paused trying to think about what she wanted to say. 'A lot has happened. I can't quite control anything, least of all how I feel.' Did he still not understand? He could be doing everything perfectly and likely something would set her off. 'I'm not sure I'm entirely back yet. My mind is still there.'

'That's what I meant by being broken. I still don't feel right.' She shook her head at his offer to split the apple. 'You should really eat more that just a slice of apple and you're trying to split it. I'll eat again when you start to eat better.' And with that she turned away from the computer but at least this time she had the thought to leave it open so she could go back to it with ease later on.

She looked at him again almost warily before nodding. Turning slightly she began to press keys on the laptop again. 'I don't know. I'm really not sure what can be done. It's just hard to forget. Especially with reminders like these.' She gestured to her arms again before bringing a hand up to her throat and then to her short hair. The hair was a less permanent situation but the rest....

Her eyes dropped again and she rose from her place on the floor and moved toward the window leaving her laptop behind. The window wasn't a place she liked to be near before but now she approached it without a problem to stare out and into the forest beyond the monster dorms.

Mitsu supposed Shun was right, he did understand in a way but she wasn't sure if he understood the true fear that the end...the permanent end was coming. He probably would if she explained but she couldn't bring herself to. Not yet. Telling it would truly be reliving it and she didn't want to focus on it any more than she already did.

She leaned her head against the window pane staring out into the trees, wishing to be outside but to fearful to leave her room. Suddenly feeling his arms around her waist her arms came down to brace around his, leaning against his chest slightly as he spoke. His presence was a comfort she just wished it was enough to erase everything that happened.

....

Mitsu tilted her head slightly to look at her reaper, wondering if he was being serious just now. Of course he was, this was Shun. When was he never not serious?

The corners of her lips twitched like she wanted to smile in response but she couldn't bring herself to quite do it. She leaned her head back against him instead to let him know that what he said was appreciated...despite how silly it was. Yes, she supposed now they matched and really that couldn't be all bad could it? It brought a small amount of light into this dark situation.

An amusing thought hit her but for now she kept it to herself. She was comfortable where she was and would require the use of her laptop to explain. At some point though she would have to let Shun know that the moon was only as worthwhile as the night sky that held it up. It seemed fitting in a way. Her night sky.

But I've changed. Mitsu thought sadly, looking up into the sky at the quarter moon. It looked like the darkness of night was wrapping around it much like Shun was holding her right now.

She nuzzled against him as a non-verbal way of saying she loved him as well, quiet now that she no longer had her computer to translate her thoughts. Would time really make things better? Mental wounds weren't as easily fixed as the physical. She supposed time would tell but there was still something off, something that made her feel anxious and leery. It was pulling at her but she had no idea in what direction. Troubling as it was she didn't want to bring it up either. Just one more thing that Shun would have to worry about and he already stressed enough that he didn't eat right or sleep.

Speaking of she leaned back and tapped his mouth before making a chewing motion with her own. Food. He needed to eat more. An apple slice was not a meal.

Her face fell a little and once again Mitsu turned her attention to the window. Go out? Outside? Her frown deepened a little as she shook her head. No, she wanted to stay in here where it was safe. Where she didn't risk meeting new people that might not be who they said they were. Here was semi-safe, familiar.
