Welcome to Gaia! ::

Still frowning, Shun soon looked alarmed as Mitsu kind of flopped back down onto the bed after sitting up. But, she was alright, for the most part. He really didn't know what to make of all of this, but it was worrying him. Letting out a sigh, he sat up himself, looking her over.

"Alright.. I'm just.. worried about you," he whispered. Time. Would time really help? He could swear that over time, her physical condition had really not been improving all that much.

While she looked over her hands, he moved over a little and gently took one into his own, examining it. Not that it would provide him any answers here either.

"It's hard."

Squeezing her hand gently, he brought it up to kiss lightly. Though, Shun soon frowned as the subject bounced back to him.

"One.. maybe two hours. I couldn't stay asleep," he murmured before looking over towards his guitar idly. There were a lot of confusing questions in his mind now. Meditating didn't seem like something he wanted to do at the moment... but...

Glancing towards Mitsu once more, he caught the fond look which garnered a little curious look from him. Though, he didn't say anything on that just yet. Instead, he addressed her previous statement.

"I felt wide awake after I got up. I couldn't fall back asleep... I'll be fine," he said to try and assure her. Shun might have had more luck doing so if her odd sleeping position hadn't caught his attention. He still didn't know why she was like that. It just.. wasn't exactly normal.

Shaking his head, he scooted away briefly so he could grab his guitar. His shoulder still ached from the day before as he lifted it up, but he shrugged it off.

With the instrument on his lap, he looked back towards her silently. That fond look she had given it.. did she maybe recall something?

"..I've played this for you a few times.." he whispered while looking down at the black guitar in hand.

"Nothing worse will happen. I'm used to carrying on fairly normally after a beatdown or.. whatever."

Watching her, Shun tilted his head as she admitted liking the guitar. A memory? Though.. the way she said that was a little strange. Shaking out that thought for now, he looked back towards the guitar.

"Semi often I guess. Depends on how things have been going for me. I was never really good at expressing myself."

It gave him an outlet that didn't involve stabbing. Meditation was nice in its own right too, but this was something he enjoyed as well. Though, he normally only played for himself.

He lightly strummed the strings, listening to the sound they made. It sounded like the instrument was still in tune right now. Satisfied with that, he began to play softly.

Shun decided not to say anything regarding her mutterings and instead just focused on playing. As he lightly strummed, he looked towards her, noticing that she was enjoying the music quite a bit. At least that much hadn't changed. Though, it looked like she was sort of being lulled too.

As he finished the song, his gaze softened and he took her hand for a moment, squeezing it.

"I'm alright. I've just had several years of experience I suppose," he said. He played more for himself (and for Mitsu), so he couldn't imagine that his guitar skills were really that great on the grand scale of things. That, and he wasn't really one to boast all too much.

"It could be soothing.. Just depends on what's going on in my mind in a way."

In this case, he was in more of calm and almost brooding to an extent. A better mood than the previous day for sure, but there were still things casting shadows over him. And of course, not to mention, love.

Releasing her hand, he went on to play another song. Aside from getting the taste of music right now, he wanted to see if he could get her to relax more. She still seemed so tired and all.

Feeling her at his shoulder, Shun turned his head to try and get a better look at her, but that wasn't easy with her on his left. Though, she seemed a little out of it in a way. In silence, he sat there once the song had finished, and it took a bit for her to snap out of that state. He must have really mesmerized her or something along those lines.

"Yes. You're very talented with the piano.." he said quietly. While she didn't remember it, he was certain that a skill like that would be contained in her body. Muscle memory.

"Would.. you like another song?" the reaper asked quietly.

She might have been doubtful, but Shun shrugged it off. He was going to need to try and get her to play sometime. She would probably surprise herself. For now, he just took a moment to think before nodding quietly to her. He was just trying to figure out what to play. It didn't take long before his hands began to work over the guitar and play the next song.

As he played this, he tilted his head to lightly lean it against Mitsu's, feeling a sort of serenity in the time being.
