Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tyyne fled home as fast as her legs could carry her, her clothes and her wrecked cell phone held tightly with one arm against her chest while her other hand clamped over her mouth. It almost resembled a girl running to go throw up, though really the case was the exact opposite. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were wide and her heart was racing uncontrollably, even her stomach was twisted into knots. She forced her way into the house, ignoring the way Xai watched her with surprise as she bolted wordlessly from the front door to her room and locked herself inside. She panted heavily once she was in her room, out of breath from all the running she'd just done. Ugh! Her throat was burning! But...but that was okay. She'd be fine. Tyyne tossed her things aside for now and walked across her room to the mirror, rubbing her lips together and just staring at herself. Her hair looked weird from the way it had been soaked and then dried with a stolen shirt, this hoodie she had on clearly didn't fit either; it was too big, the sleeves were too long, it was so loose fitting just everywhere, it clearly belonged to an older teenaged girl. She wasn't as developed as that girl. Her chest was smaller, she was thinner, that other girl must have been larger and she had a much larger chest to boot. That was the kind of girl boys liked...right? Wait, why did she suddenly care?! She frowned, still looking at herself with a critical eye. Her face was flushed with a mixture of cold, her embarrassment for kissing Leviathan, and...was that...excitement? She kissed Leviathan. It was her first kiss. Her first kiss ever! Not just her first kiss with a particular person, but her first kiss with any person. Did she like it though? It was with someone who drove her crazy, someone who terrified her, a boy who...who was actually really sweet; he was thoughtful, he was caring, he was sweet. She never thought Leviathan was capable of something like that. She smiled and blushed, twirling a lock of hair around her fingers. He saved her! He didn't have to but he did! And not only did he save her but he went through so much trouble to get her dried and warm, even going so far as to steal shirts off some teenagers. That was wrong! So very wrong! But...the thought behind it was really kind. She folded her legs underneath her and grabbed her hairbrush, deciding to make some kind of effort to fix her hair. She shivered suddenly; maybe a warm bath wouldn't hurt either, but she'd finish her hair first.

Was this weird? Just staring at herself in the mirror? It was like she was looking for something...for some visual change to her now that she'd kissed Leviathan. Would she change? Did this make things different somehow? Tyyne stopped brushing her hair to pluck out the scale clip in her hair, smiling and putting it on her small dresser for now so she wouldn't wreck it with her hairbrush. Her gaze then turned down to the sleeve of her stolen hoodie, sniffling a bit from the sudden change of cold outside to warmth indoors and lifting her hand to nuzzle her face against a part of the sleeve. Huh? O..oh! It...it smelled like him! Tyyne blushed even more, sniffing at the sleeve and giggling. That was a nice scent.

Suddenly Tyyne gasped and her eyes flew open, moving her hand away quickly and just staring at the sleeve with wide eyes. What was she doing?! This was Leviathan! H-he may have done something nice for her but...but this was Leviathan! The boy who called her...his princess...his princess, not just a princess. Her heart fluttered a little and she dropped her brush to quickly take off the hoodie and put on a new shirt, a fresh sweater. Th-there! This one didn't..smell as nice. It didn't smell like him. She looked down at the hoodie and picked it up after a moment, carrying it to a hook Xai had installed on the wall within Tyyne's reach and hanging it there. It was clean, and it smelled like Leviathan, she didn't need to wash it yet. Let the scent stay for awhile.

Tyyne returned to her grooming, sniffling and sneezing suddenly. Ugh, it seemed despite Leviathan's best attempts that run she'd done from that little building they were in to her house was giving her a little cold. Hopefully Xai would have something that'd make it go away soon enough. She'd actually feel..bad if she got sick! And not for herself! She'd feel bad for wasting Leviathan's time or something. How weird.

Not that he was special or anything. In fact he...was still terrifying! And scary! And mean! Yeah, totally. Leviathan wasn't...nice at all. She glanced at the scale clip again and blushed, giving a tiny smile as she settled down again and went back to brushing her hair. Maybe the beach wasn't so bad.
