Mitsu had been able to feel the reaper tense with each step he took, no doubt he was still in a fair amount of pain. Though he said he was fine...maybe this was like earlier? Instead of questioning if he was really okay or not Mitsu just decided to play along. "Y..yeah I could use a short break if that's okay."
Her arms were a little tired after all though the weight Shun put on her was slight. It was no different than carrying a backpack as long as he focused his weight on her shoulders and not her arms.

Nodding to the girl, Shun glanced to the side, seeing some benches not too far off. Carefully, he made his way over to the closest one before gingerly sitting down. His leg was throbbing with pain right now.
The reaper felt that he could have continued walking, but his leg was appreciating the break.
Slowly, he rubbed his leg, trying to ease it a little more.
"How are your arms?"

As Shun took a seat Mitsu did the same sitting with a little distance between them to give him for space for now. Asked about her arms she moved them slightly, they were sore...and her hands were mostly numb the slightest of tingling felt in her fingers.
"I..I will be sore in the morning. As you said," She let her arms just limply rest at her sides for now which was a bit of a relief. The lupine would have rubbed at them but it would have required her to use one arm to sooth the other. Since both were sore it wouldn't have worked out well.

As she answered, Shun glanced at the arms that now hung rather loosely at her sides. No doubt the muscles in them were exhausted. Thinking on it, he tried to recall if he had any ointments back at his place. They could be useful for the both of them right about now. For the time being, he didn't say anything on it as he wasn't completely certain if the stuff was within his possession.
"Just try not to strain them any further today," he offered while still gingerly rubbing his leg.

There was another silent nod of acknowledgement knowing full well she couldn't strain them any more if she tried. They were barely functional at this point.
After a few more minutes of rest Mitsu stood again so that they could continue on to the dorms. It was always a different feeling walking into the reaper dorms than it was the monster dorms. For one it wasn't as brightly colored and didn't uphold that bigger is better value that seemed to stand true for everything in the monster dorms....everything.
Mitsu seemed to be getting a handle on where she needed to turn to get to Shun's room. After a few afternoons of coming to study she had finally mapped out her course in her head enough that she wouldn't get lost. In no time, despite Shun's lagging step in one leg, they were standing in front of the reaper boy's dorm.

Going up the stairs was rather arduous and Shun was forced to lean more on Mitsu as he climbed up them. Along with that, he had to rely on the railing more than usual. It was about now that he also realized he couldn't really do his freerunning while his leg was injured and that left a little more of a bitter taste in his mouth.
Once in front of his place, he let out a breath and opened the door. His leg was throbbing pretty badly but he did what he could to ignore it.
"Hold on. I might have something for your arms," he murmured as he hobbled inside, looking around for the little bottle. After a few moments of searching, he looked towards Mitsu and motioned her to come closer. Inside the bottle was just a sort of clear oil looking liquid.
"Rub this on your arms... it should help a bit."

Mitsu had been planning to allow Shun to enter his room and then just leave so it was a bit of a surprise when the reaper told her to wait. Moving just inside Mitsu closed the door behind her and watched curiously as Shun searched about for something. When he finally produced a small bottle and motioned her forward, Mitsu complied.
"T-thank you," She said gratefully, her arms working rather stiffly as she reached up to take the bottle from him. The liquid inside looked like an oil of some kind, she wondered what it would do. Intent to use it and give it back Mitsu reached up to pull the sleeves back on her t-shirt to expose her arms a bit better, though the effort wasn't without a struggle. She did her best not to whimper though finally getting passed obstacle one.
"Do you think your leg will be okay?" Mitsu asked as she brought back the bottle to put a small amount of the liquid in her hand before handing the bottle back to the reaper. Once the bottle was passed back Mitsu made an attempt to rub the oil on her arms her ears falling to the sides of her head feeling the tender muscle.

Waiting for Mitsu to be done, Shun took the bottle back. He'd use it soon. As it was it'd be hard for him to apply it to his leg without having to take his pants off or something along those lines.
"The oil should help ease some of the tension and pain for awhile," he said as he set his bag down.
Also, right around then, he recalled something.
"Oh right..." he started before turning his attention towards the wolf girl, "The dance is coming up. I'll come pick you up before it starts."

Mitsu hoped the oil worked quickly. It was going to be hard to take a shower and wash her hair as it was when she got back to her dorm.
At then mention of Prom Mitsu gave Shun her full attention again. She could pretend she wasn't excited but she was. Excited and nervous but mostly excited. There would be food, dancing, and music though there would also be lots of people and Lizzy had already talked her into not wearing her normal mask. She hadn't wanted to go without one completely so they had to come to a sort of middle ground on the situation for her nerve's sake.
"Pick me up?" Meaning he was going to come get her? Something about that left her feeling rather touched but she wasn't sure why. Maybe it was because no one had offered to come pick her up before...or hang out...or much of anything before this year. "Y..you don't have to come all the way over to the monster dorms. I..I can meet you."

Nodding to the first question, Shun soon shrugged while fiddling idly with the bottle in hand. He didn't really see what the problem was with picking her up but he supposed there was something about it that she didn't like.
"It's not that big of a deal. You aren't that far from here," he said, "I don't really mind walking anyway."
Shifting his weight a bit to stand a little more comfortably for his one leg he added, "But if you don't want me to, I can meet you midway or something along those lines."

"I..I don't want to be a bother." Though it wasn't that long of a walk. "I..if you really don't mind. I look forward to you picking me up then." The tone of her voice sounded happy, one could almost hear the smile in it.
"I..I guess I'll leave so you can relax and treat your leg." Her focus had gone to his hand as he idly messed with the bottle of oil. He also seemed to be shifting his weight as he continued to stand. "D..Do you need anything before I go?"

Since there didn't seem to be a problem after all, Shun made a note to pick the girl up on the night of the Prom. it wouldn't be that much of a hassle to do so.
"No. Not right now at least," he replied with a shake of his head, "Thanks for the help."
The reaper supposed he did appreciate it, despite his struggles against accepting it in the first place.

There was a small smile that went unseen as Shun thanked her. "You're welcome." Mitsu nodded. "A..and thank you for the oil." Her arms were already feeling the promise of relief.
Turning around Mitsu reached for the doorknob. "I..I guess I'll see you later then." With a slight wave Mitsu took her leave of the reaper's dorm so that he could rest closing the door behind herself as she went.

"See you," Shun said as she walked on out. Once she had left, he went on to treat his leg a bit while thinking of what he could do exactly as he relaxed. The injury cut off a fair amount of his normal options, leaving him with little he could do without risking hurting himself further.
"Damn leg..." he murmured to himself.
