Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mitsu gave a slow nod but truth be told she wasn't fine. Physically maybe, she had only really scuffed her hands, but mentally she was a wreck. Their words had hurt more than usual and she was now plagued with thoughts she hadn't catered to in a long time....had her parent's abandoned her? Tears were still slowly streaming down her face but with the mask no one would be the wiser.

"A..are you going to be okay?" Mitsu asked looking him over. "I..I'm so sorry you go involved." She said softly. "I have first aid stuff back at my room.

Mitsu gave another slow nod, looking back shortly to see if they were being followed. They were moving at a fairly brisk pace but that didn't mean the pack wouldn't be at their heels. Luckily it seemed they had either given up on the idea for now or were somewhere...plotting. That idea would no doubt worry Mitsu for a long while.

Turning back around trying to pay attention to where she was going, Mitsu lightly wrapped her hand around Shun's arm. The touch was rather hesitant but it was there none the less. "I have stuff at the dorm," She repeated when he mentioned cleaning the wounds. "I..It would be best to flush it out." There was no doubt in her mind that Anton's claws were....filthy. It gave her a shiver just thinking about it so they really needed to make sure that Shun's wound was cleaned properly.

It wasn't until the school was well within sight that Mitsu spoke up again. She had been doing her best to keep from sobbing and that involved a lot of concentration. "T..thank you...for sticking up for me." No one had really done that for her before. At her old school the rest of the student body would generally just walk by as if nothing were going on or they would merely watch in amusement. Either way they were of no help and here Shun had even gotten injured on her account.

Mitsu's grasp tightened a little more around Shun's arm when he mentioned the boys were wrong. It was comforting to hear but at the same time it made her realize how effected she had been by their words. A small sniffle escaped while Mitsu choked back the urge to outright cry, the tears already running down along her chin and neck from under her mask.

"I..It's nothing I haven't heard before..." She managed to say before leading Shun toward the monster dorms. It honestly wasn't, she had heard far worse, but her guard had been let down leaving herself a little too open.

The walk to her room was a quick one and Mitsu rummaged for the key in her pocket, a shaky grasp unlocking the door to let them both in. The lupine first put her keyboard down in the safe place well out of the way of feet before she ran to the bathroom to grab her first aid kit. She returned with the kit shortly after and unlike most times her mask was still firmly in place. The wolf girl really didn't want to let Shun see her cry.

"You can sit on the bed," Mitsu said softly walking over to place the kit down and opening it up. The first thing she grabbed was some disinfectant and some gauze to clean the wound with. She was just about to turn back toward Shun but his words caught her ears. Ears drooping a little she shook her head.

"I...I'll take it off later." Mitsu said softly before moving back toward Shun with the cleaning stuff. Her hands were full after all so maybe that would be a good excuse.

Mitsu waited patiently while Shun removed his jacket and shirt breathing slowly and trying not to focus on what had happened today. She had started to step toward the reaper, her hand on the lid to the disinfectant, when his words caught her attention.

"I...." There was a great deal of hesitation as her head turned downward. It probably would be easier but she wasn't sure what Shun would say. Sure she shouldn't let their words get to her...but they did.

Reluctantly she put down the items in her hand and reached for her mask. Her fingers touched it for a moment before pulling away as if she had changed her mind all of a sudden. There was a bit of a pause before she reached for the mask again finally removing it from her face. It wasn't hard to see that she had been crying, her cheeks were lined with fresh tears. Quickly she brought up her sleeve to wipe at her face but it only helped so much. She was still crying.

There was a long silence and Mitsu had done her best to rid her face of the tears though the liquid kept falling from her eyes as silently as it had on their walk back to school. She had just set down her mask and picked up the cleaning items again when Shun motioned for her to have a seat.

Holding everything close she moved to have a seat beside him, her head down cast to keep her face as hidden as possible. "I..." What was she supposed to say to that? She wanted to believe what Shun said, it made her heart flutter in her chest even now at a time that she was upset, but the words had sunk in deep and had taken root long before she had ever met the reaper.

"I...I had often wondered....if I had been left behind." She admitted softly. Somehow despite the tears she was able to keep her voice fairly steady. At least as steady as it normally was. "And then...my brother....." He had gone missing too, leaving her behind with no one but Mr. Adolphus. The older lupine had often talked about leaving and getting a place of his own...but Mitsu had hoped...he would take her with him. "I..I know I shouldn't let what they say bother me..." For the first time her voice sounded a little strained the tears getting bigger as they streamed down her face. "What you think of me is far more valuable....but it still stings...."

Mitsu turned her head slightly when Shun finally spoke up again. His words weren't exactly something she expected to hear from him. He was actually trying to make her feel better wasn't he? It wasn't a normal gesture of comfort but the intent was still there.

"You're a good friend, Shun." She tried to smile wiping at her eyes again before pushing her way back up and shuffling the things in her arms. "This might sting a little. I have some numbing spray to put on it after." The first aid kit she had bought was actually fairly nice...she figured she would need it with as often as she was getting hurt.

Pouring a little of the disinfectant on the gauze Mitsu leaned closer to Shun. "B...brace yourself?" She warned softly before she started to lightly dab at the wound. Her work was thorough but quick, she didn't want Shun to get an infection just as much as he didn't want an infection himself. Once the wound was cleaned Mitsu got out the numbing spray and lightly misted the area to help with the pain. "Do you want a bandage?"
