Mitsu allowed Shun to pull her hands away and was surprised when he turned around to wrap his arms around her and hold her close. Hugging him close again she glanced up seeing that smile on his face, that smile that made her smile no matter what.
"You do make me happy. It was just...hard for me to show it for a while. What happened during Halloween...my ...brother...just so much happened." Honestly her brother having gone missing probably hit her the hardest, even more so since it was right before the holidays. Even surrounded by friends it was still a lonely feeling knowing Ginji wasn't there...and probably would never be again. She was starting to coop with the fact that he was gone, though it was hard. "Like I said...you made me smile again and now I feel like I can move passed what happened. If you hadn't helped me....I wouldn't have made it." How true that was. There had been some rather dark thoughts going through her head, just wanting to escape from it all.

Though his expression didn't change much from what it was, her words actually meant more to him than he let on. But to hear that he actually made some sort of difference was really nice, especially since he had been trying so hard to make her happy again.
"I'm glad.. to hear that," he said softly while continuing to hold her close. She was very warm; something he noticed more with the cool weather around them. And it felt rather nice. In a sense he never really appreciated this sort of contact before. In the back of his mind, was a rather cruel voice laughing at how ironic it was for him to actually have saved someone from their end rather than helping them along.
"I'm... not sure.. what I'd do if you weren't around any more.. It feels strange for someone like me to say something like that but.. I don't think I'd be able to handle that.."

Mitsu's expression softened slightly. Shun's words were incredible sweet but it also made her realize it was still a very real possibility. She could just as easily fathom what Suto would do next as she could guess the weather a month in advance. There wasn't much left she could lose, but Suto kept what there was dangling over her head by a string. If he ended up taking her life....she wouldn't fight it if she thought she would be sparing her friends. They were all she had left.
While in her confusion about how she felt about Shun and Desmond she really hadn't given much thought to the fact that it may not matter. There was no guarantee she would always be around, she wouldn't be able to keep them...either of them. And if Suto ever found out about them and how close she was.....it almost broke her heart to think of it. "Its not always easy...but I would hope you could move on. I wouldn't want you to be sad...because of me." While she craved for a relationship it just wasn't practical for her to make someone suffer along side her. It was cruel.

The smile faded at her words. It was not something he wanted to think about. Shun was aware the he was probably not the most mentally sound man around considering everything, and the only two people he could really count on were Mitsu and Bent-Tail at this point. If he were to lose either, there was really no telling what would happen to him or what he would do. Most likely it would mean more physical harm to those around him in some way.
"Let's hope it doesn't come to that," he said rather darkly before letting out a sigh, "And.. lets not think about that. There's always the chance I won't make it through my next... job."
Actually in his mind, there was a greater chance for him to end up dead than there was for Mitsu.

Mitsu's grip tightened again as she pressed close. Just as much as Shun didn't want to think about losing her...she didn't want to think about losing him. "I don't want to lose anyone else." Mitsu said softly unable to ignore the dark tone in his voice. For now Shun's 'job' went ignored, though that didn't keep her from worrying about his safety. If he got hurt or killed...would she even find out about it or would she just be left to wonder where he was?

Sighing once more, he held her tightly and rested his head lightly against hers. It was true that Mitsu had lost so much already. With a frown, he kept in mind to try and make sure he never took a fatal hit, if only for her sake.
"I'll do my best to make sure nothing happens..." he said quietly. Shun was no god though, so things could still easily happen. But he knew he wasn't that easy to kill either for that matter.
"We.. better not dwell on this subject. Do you still want to see the outlook?"

Mitsu nodded. It would be best not to linger on the subject. "S...sure." She gave a nod taking a hesitant step back, her arms going loose but not really wanting to leave. He was warm and it was a nice feeling to be held.
"Only if you still want to go." Mitsu would go, as before she would stay away from the edge.

Nodding slightly to her, he noticed the hesitance in her step. After a moment of thinking, he kept one arm around her waist as he started to walk besides her.
"It... really is a nice view up there.. I'd like you to see it," he said quietly, "I don't think it'll take much longer to reach it."
Trying to think of a different subject as well so they wouldn't be left in silence after some of the darker things they spoke about. For the time being nothing was coming to mind just yet.

The walk was quiet but Mitsu enjoyed walking next to her friend. Even if there would never be anything more it was still nice to be close. "I..I'll do my best to see it." Mitsu smiled a little.
As they continued to walk an odd rumbling sound caught Mitsu's attention. It was quiet at first, like something shifting, but as they moved a little further it got louder, the ground beneath their feet suddenly unsteady. Eyes wide she wondered if there was going to be an earthquake but as she looked down the ground beneath their feet began to crumble away. Freezing in place Mitsu didn't know what to do as her hands clung to Shun's jacket, the ground giving way and plunging them into darkness.

A faint almost-smile cracked upon his expression as he saw Mitsu's. With his ears not as acute as hers, he didn't hear the rumbling until later on. Furrowing his brow, he could swear that the ground was trembling as well.
Pausing as he felt this, he felt the earth beneath them shift. Before he knew it, the ground gave away and he found himself falling into a pit. Instinctively, he grabbed onto the girl besides him to pull her close to try and shield her.
Moments later, he hit the ground, wherever it was. Shun was still holding onto Mitsu fairly tightly, though his grip loosened soon after they had landed. His body was aching now, as he had landed fairly roughly, but it didn't feel like anything was broken.
"M-mitsu?" he asked while nudging the girl to try and see if she was alright.

Mitsu let out a scream as they fell until Shun pulled her close. Eyes closing tightly shut she clung to him until they came to a rough halt at the bottom. At first she didn't move, the sensation of falling still washing over her. When Shun nudged her she flinched, eyes opening wide. "W...where are we?"
As her eyes shifted about in the darkness they started to glow faintly, her vision settling in around her. Shakily she pushed her way up noticing she had landed on top of Shun. "A...are you okay?" She tried to move off him but her body wasn't cooperating just yet.

"I'm not really sure..." mumbled Shun while trying to look around. It was rather dark, but as he activated one of his spells, that problem was taken care of rather quickly. He noticed that Mitsu's eyes were now glowing rather faintly... they hadn't done that before. Though curious as to why they did now, he had larger concerns.
"Yeah.. I think so... are you?" he asked her. He was feeling pretty sore, and he feels as if he may have bumped his head but he didn't think it was anything serious.
".. I think we're in a cave..." he added as he looked around a little more.

When asked if she was okay, Mitsu moved a little. She had landed on Shun for the most part so other than tensing up and being a little jarred, "Y...yeah." Finally moving so that she was sitting next to Shun, her legs still not willing to work, she turned an unsteady gaze upward. They had fallen quite a was, it wasn't super high, but it was high enough, not to mention the crack they had fallen through was more in the middle of the ceiling.
Shifting her gaze back to the room they were in Mitsu noticed she could see rather well but didn't think much of it. Maybe it was a little better lit than she imagined. It seemed there was a couple of lead offs, some were rather narrow. "What do we do?"

Once Mitsu had gotten up, Shun slowly pushed himself to his feet as well, wincing a bit in the process. It wasn't until he had started to really move did he notice a sharper pain in his side. Touching the area, it seemed that he had received a cut sometime during the fall. It wasn't anything big, but it did sting a fair amount.
Looking around, he frowned while trying to see if there were any other areas that had light aside from the hole above. There weren't any he could see really.
"We try and find a way out...."he started before turning towards her, " I'm... sorry about this Mitsu.. I didn't know the ground there was unstable.."
They at least had some food and water if they needed it, but he was hoping they wouldn't be stuck down here for too long.

Trying to actually stand up, Mitsu's attention fell on Shun when she heard him wince. "Y...you're bleeding." She squeaked moving closer once she got to her feet. "T..this is bad." Even if it wasn't Mitsu's mind was racing at the moment trying to look at the wound passed his jacket and shirt.
"It's not your fault, you said you never went this way before." With a worried glance around Mitsu looked at the different places to go. Some were rather narrow...narrow enough Shun might not be able to fit and there was no guarantee any of the tunnels and crevices would lead them out of the caves. "W...which way should we go? I..I can check some of the smaller spaces for a way out." Not that it would do much good if Shun couldn't fit through as well.
