HyunSoon wasn't quite sure why he had agreed to do this with Alice, or even why he was coming even after agreeing...but hey. It was something to do, and Alice was nice. He liked Alice. Alice was at least nice to him so...
Padding carefully through the University, he kept his head down and eyes averted. If he looked up he might get dizzy, the ceilings were so high and dark and he didn't like looking up at them and sometimes even the walls felt weird, felt wide and tall...
Stopping and glancing up at the room numbers, he bit his lip and stepped forward, peering into one of the open doors. He was pretty sure this was the room number she had told him to come to, if he was remembering right which he might not. His brain didn't like him nowadays, it liked to play tricks on him. "Alice?" he asked, voice a whisper from fear of it echoing in the hall and classroom (and his head). "Are you here?" If he had gone to the room and was lost he didn't know what to do, especially since he didn't know his way around here.

Alice was late, or in her opinion she was late, the femme always tried to be at least ten min. early to each meeting, but sadly it didn't always work that way, not when you have someone tagging along with you. Almost the complete opposite of Alice, Gwin... was something else. She had that artist aura that just says, im not nearly as tidy as I should be, and I don't really care. But anyway, she and the younger girl were stumbling quickly down the hall where Soon currently stood. They were late, but he was two doors down from where he should be. Alice nearly passed him in her rush to get to door of the other room, terrified that she had left Soon for too long and something had happened.
-alice was always like that when the kittens were in her care-
If it weren't for Gwin stopping and peering into that dusty old classroom Alice would have completely bypassed her charge in her hurry. She peered over Soon's shoulder, looking into the dusty depths and saying nothing. God knew what the boy saw there, but she saw promise. Alice stumbled back to where the she thought only Gwin stood, but quickly flashed a grin when she made out the Somali colored hybrid Soon.
"Im here Soon, so sorry... I was late." Alice was out of breath, but she couldnt bring herself to care. Soon was safe.

Not here...crap. So he was either lost, or late, or maybe even early, but that was doubtful. Now he had to try and find his way out and he was all turned around and oh god. Ears flattening in his growing panic, HyunSoon went to turn - only to come face to face with another cat. Letting out a panicked hiss and stumbling backwards, HyunSoon tripped over the leg of a desk and tumbled out of sight onto the floor.
Holy s**t when had she gotten there?!
Shakily peeking over the desk at the sound of Alice's voice, HyunSoon swallowed and nodded, trembling almost violently. Dear god dear god..."I-It's okay," he stuttered, pulling himself to his feet, tail twitching and ears still flattened. Reaching back to grip the appendage, he twisted the fur between his fingers and chewed on the inside of his lip. "I thought I had gotten lost..." Who was the weird girl anyway?

She gave a small smile, gesturing for the two younger cats to follow her lead to the next classroom. Gwin seemed to take the unsaid note that Soon didn’t like new people, hell she was used to it with DaeKyun’s wandering into the university by now. But Alice still was worried, what if the kids ended up not liking one of their teachers, or felt uncomfortable.
Alice knew it wasn’t a easy task she had signed herself up for, but this had to be the first time she had really considered how many things could go wrong. The female shook her head and gave a weak smile, unlocking the class room door with a ancient skeleton key. IT was one of the few very clean rooms here in the university, but that was only because Alice had taken the time to clean the hell out of it herself. She basically lived in the room, and made it her office. The other classes were located in various other buildings (just like a real university.)
Gwin walked into the room still silent, reserved, calm, and not invading Soon’s personal space to the best of her ablity. She watched as Alice stacked and organized papers before turning back to the duo and gesturing around the room.
“Sit anywhere and don’t mind the mess.”
The rainbow haired female turned and offered her hand to Soon, still a distance away. “Might as well introduce myself, I’m Gwin, a teacher here.”

Walking after the two females, HyunSoon continued to pick and twist at his tail nervously, keeping his eyes lowered. He learned not to look people in the eye - it helped. Not touching helped too, and...well. Just not being around people was the best, but that couldn't always happen. He got lonely too okay?
Stepping into the room, he let go of his tail and shoved his hands into his pockets, playing with the lining and chewing on his lip. The room was cleaner than some of the others, and the mess she was talking about could hardly be considered one. He lived in the Ruins, he knew messes.
At the offer to sit down, HyunSoon started over towards a desk before pausing. "Nice to meet you," he said quietly, shifting and eyeing her hand nervously. Touching was bad, but he didn't want to seem rude...Lifting his hand, he carefully touched his fingertips to hers before jerking it away. Red blossoming on her tanktop, her eyes going white and glazed and the little noise she'd make. It'd be easy, just take a pencil and-
"I'm HyunSoon," he he muttered quickly, bowing his head and walking around her. Sitting down heavily in a chair, he fidgeted with his nails and tail, refusing to look up at either of them.

Quietly Alice pursed her lips, she had a feeling she knew some of the issues Soon went through, but she never voiced her concern, never judged, and never would mention them until he did first.
Soon, I have an idea that I think would help some people, people like you and your siblings. I just need to know if it sounds absolutely absurd. I wanted to run it by you, and see how you feel... considering your siblings seem to be so hard to track down now a days." Picking up a pencil -ironic no?- Alice began jotting down several things worthy to note, things that would be important to learn, important to avoid and important not to push too hard.
... she really did need help figuring this all out from someone that knew what the other cats would be feeling like.
Feeling a bit bad for forcing him to touch her, Gwin wandered over to the other side of the room, standing next to the huge window and just watching. He had the right not to shake her hand, she would have understood. Her brother had... issues about touch as well. Well... before he died. Gwin wrinkled her nose and continued staring outside, she had to talk to Alice afterward and possibly be a comfort for the young kitten, but for anything else she could blend into the wallpaper. And would -had she not been every color under the sky-

HyunSoon didn't really want to talk to anyone about the...things he was experiencing. They were scary, they were weird, they weren't natural, they were dangerous. People would think he was crazy.
He wasn't crazy, okay?
"Okay," he said quietly, chewing on his thumbnail and focusing on a spot on the floor. "Yeah, they all seem to be pretty busy," he mumbled frowning and continuing to chew on his thumb, this time at the skin. He kind of missed having his...well, any of his family around anymore. His dads were busy with each other, his siblings busy with their friends and significant others and here he was, left sitting at home by himself and festering in thoughts of...bad things.
Moving on.
"Wh-What's your idea?" he mumbled around his thumb, glancing up at Gwin. Now he felt kind of rude, he didn't mean to be rude to her, he just...didn't like the thoughts of snapping her neck or gutting her with a pencil or...shifting in his seat, he tasted blood and moved on to chewing on his index finger, looking back over to Alice.

Alice stopped writing, pausing at his words... sorting out her own in her head before she spoke. "I... want to make something like a rehab, for people that have been hurt... using art and physical therapy as needed to help them." There, she had said it, the project that she had nursed like her own child, and was so afraid that wouldn't be liked. She felt Gwin looking at her oddly behind her back, but it didn't matter... all that mattered was that this got done, that she could find a way to help those that had got the short end of the stick.
... people like her. She bitterly noted. Yes, they were all toy things... victims to the facility's demented combine. People like the kits, like Ji... they had it worse then most... if not all, but she couldn't really judge.
.. to never be able to stand sleeping in your lovers arms because of how the body heat made you sick...
.. not being able to breathe because the world feels like its closing around your throat...
no there were some things that no human being should be put through.

Putting his hand down on the desk and listening to her speak, HyunSoon nodded slowly. That...sounded like a good idea, actually. It was peaceful, non-violent, relaxing. Biting his lip, HyunSoon nodded again before smiling softly at her. "I like it."
Shifting again, he nodded a third time before smiling wider. "I like it a lot," he murmured. Beginning to nibble on his thumb again, HyunSoon smiled softly and fidgeted with his shirt. "What can I do to help?" he asked curiously, glancing to Gwin.

Shaking her head lightly, Alice stared at the boy, watched him watch Gwin. People were fascinating, and she loved watching their reactions to others. "I just want you to be yourself, to learn, and to help yourself become who you were always meant to be. You don't have to teach, or even really communicate. Only find something to love and dedicate yourself to." Alice set down her pencil and focused on lightly pressing her hands to her stomach, she felt something move and winced. Goddamn kids picked the worst time to get ancy.
Hell, with all the movement in her she was surprised one didn't spring out in a leotard and point shoes.
Gwin smiled reassuringly at the boy. "Im going to be teaching art, assuming thats what Alice brought me here to discuss. Fair warning though, if there's no dedication they wont learn anything and im not going to force them. Just like I wont always be here under lock and key." Gwin was a free spirit, the moment Alice tried to dictate something she would be gone, and not looking back.
Alice shook her head and gave a tight lipped smile. They had lots to discuss later, that was for sure.

Be himself? Scoff. If only Alice knew - how he really was, what he was capable of.
He nodded and began chewing on his thumb again, lowering his eyes to the floor. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea...he already had something he was dedicated to. What if this got in the way? What if being around people wouldn't help? It only got worse around people, even now he was...taking in a shaky breath, he looked up again as Gwin spoke.
Ah, she was one of those. "Okay," he said quietly, shifting and lowering his eyes again. "Have you talked to anyone else, or just me so far?" he asked curiously. He knew tracking down his brothers and sisters was difficult, but most people didn't bother talking to him unless they had already talked to them first...or at least planned on it. "Is anyone else...going to be in it...?" he asked nervously, chewing at his lip and beginning to pick at his arm. If he was just around his siblings, it wouldn't be so bad, but if he was like this just around two people how would he be around a class of other cats..?
He almost didn't want to know.

Shaking her head Alice smiled encouragingly at the boy. "no not yet, I wanted to run it by someone I knew would give me a honest opinion first.Im going to have the other territory leaders send out invitations to their people, for teachers and students alike. You wont be alone in this Soon." She smiled softly, writing something down on a yellow legal pad on her desk. "One more thing I needed to know, do you like anything in particular, ever been interested in anything. Dancing, singing, drawing, painting... anything like that?"
Gwin was getting bored, she hated enclosed spaces, and waiting... she was horrible at waiting. She knew it was for the greater good, and that she would enjoy it later... but sitting in dull meeting after dull meeting, just seemed to have her staring at a busy piece of art, not a blank canvas that she should b seeing. Gwin shook her head, walking to the door and opening it and stepping out in the hall.
IF Alice didn't like it, tough... she could find her later, or the boy could. They knew where to find her.
