Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mitsu had been focusing on her breathing as Shun had told her to do in meditation. If she solely focused on that she couldn't get upset. Nothing about breathing would set her off. She didn't want to cry around all these people. It was Prom everyone was supposed to be happy. If she just gave herself a little bit to wander around and calm herself she could pretend to be happy and no one would know the difference.

Suddenly caught in an embrace, Mitsu turned her gaze up toward the figure she at first did not recognize but the voice, it was unmistakably Hel. The question, it was only three little words but that was all it look for tears to begin to well in Mitsu's eyes. Without a word she turned in toward the reaper and wrapped her arms around her waist and clung to her burying her face in her shoulder as the tears began to pour. She had grown so accustomed to not dealing with bullies she had forgotten how much their words could hurt.

"Then ah, we might need to have a tiny how-to lesson before I bring you bigger things," Roch said, grinning. "Don't worry. Bring your pals over to the school sometime, or I spose we could meet somewhere between the two places, and I'll show you how to take stuff apart. Also... you know a guy named Fai... yum?"

((Did he just offer to--Oh Jack help us all OTL))

Jericho nodded slowly at that. They had to build things anew basically, but Malodore and he had the advantage of already knowing her nature. It would hopefully make things easier. Hopefully.

"Not quite," he said with a weak chuckled, "They're more like that of a tiger's. Wildcat type of marking."

Riyo didn't have time to move away from the boil when she felt his hand around her throat. Both of her hands took hold of his arm, claws digging into his flesh. "Oh no, Shun. You misconstrue. I never said I was anything good." She spat out, her eyes growing wide. Pupils focused in on him, staring right back into that one Jack damn eye the reaper had left.

Mitsu left. Riyo had noticed, but there was nothing she could do while practically being strangled. "I am quite low. I've done terrible things to good people all in the name of making money. Misering my way through this world full of garbage. I'm terribly, terribly selfish."

"I don't see where you get off telling me I'm not handling it. I'm not crying like a b***h, am I?" No. She was just raging like a cornered animal. "It's not fighting back that makes you an ignorant s**t. It's the fact that you parade yourself around with someone so innocent so as to make yourself look like less of a scum bag." Her voice was becoming hoarse. Talking while someone had your throat? Not the best idea.

So she reared her leg back and kicked him. It didn't matter where her foot ended up. She didn't rightfully care anymore. She wanted away from him.

"Is that what you think?" Shun hissed while his grip tightened, even moreso when her claws were digging into his flesh, "Is that why you think I stay with her? You don't think that maybe it's because I ******** care? I've told her plenty of times I'm no good. She knows some of the s**t I've pulled. She's seen it even. I've told her repeatedly she could leave whenever she wants. And yet she still stands by. How ******** dare you to say that I just keep her like some ******** badge of honor. She stays by her own ******** choice. I keep her there because I love her."

With that statement, he soon grunted and released her as he ended up taking it to the groin. Dropping down to his knees, he hissed in pain while clenching his fists together. Yes, he had said all of that right in front of Titus who will no doubt use it against him. But he was not going to stand to Riyo insinuating that Mitsu was some trophy.

"But... It doesn't ******** matter..." he managed to say through his teeth, "The only.. one crying... now is likely ********, that hurt.

"I think so... Or rather.. I don't think it's gone from her. Brought back to life, but not cured. We.. hope this means she can't hit that stage again though," Jericho said while glancing to the side. Talking about this had spiked up his anxiety again, despite having managed to calm down a bit for awhile.

Titus wasn't the gentlemanly type, there had been more than one moment that night that clearly proved that fact but something about Shun with his hand around Riyo's neck had a surge of anger running through him. Still he didn't immediately run to the ghoul's rescue. He didn't want to be on the wrong end of a high heel shoe.

At least Riyo was quick to fix the issue herself as Shun released her and went down on his knees. Once again Titus was thankful he had invested in a cup. It was a saving grace even if he wasn't the target of a kneeing. "I dunno, Soul Herder. You know how much of an a*****e you are and yet you keep her around." He knelt down close to Shun that smile wide and cruel. "Our lives are a ticking time bomb for disaster. You really expect her to be happy? Maybe you should do her the favor and send her away before she's hurt far worse than by just a few simple words. Trust me, if you love her, that makes her your weakness and gives me all the more pleasure when I aim to break her."

Secretly Titus would have been pleased to start a fight about now. If he got Shun kicked out of Prom with him it would just be the icing on top.

As she continued to cry Mitsu found herself face to well....chest. At least Hel's ample bosom provided adequate cover from prying eyes and Mitsu didn't feel nearly as bad about crying while there were people around.

It took her some time to actually calm enough to speak finally pulling back so that she wasn't just talking into Hel's chest. "I...I had forgotten..how mean bullies could be." Mitsu admitted pushing her mask up to wipe at her eyes. She continued to sniffle not moving out of the comforting embrace that Hel provided. No, instead she stayed nice and close feeling safe with the ghoul.
