Welcome to Gaia! ::

The rain outside was coming down fairly steadily and Mitsu had been cooped up for most of the day. Staring out the window in her room the lycan began to wonder what everyone else was up to. The thought of calling crossed her mind but the appeal of leaving her room was much greater even if it involved getting a little wet.

Slipping on her shoes and her mask, Mitsu grabbed her umbrella and made her way to the door. She was about to exit when she felt something brush up against her leg. Looking down she saw Milo curling around her feet. "You want to come with me?" If she visited Xiu Milo and Arashi could play again.

Picking up the fox, Milo immediately went to Mitsu's shoulders and curled around her neck to lazily sit in place for the time being. Now with her pet Mitsu left the monster dorms and headed toward the demon dorms to see if either Xiu or Lizzy were there. Even if they weren't it got her out of her room for a little while so there was no regret in walking.

As Mitsu entered the demon dorm she quickly closed her umbrella and shook it outside the door to rid it of most of the water. Milo, having gotten a few drops of moisture on his face, pawed at his nose to get rid of it.

"Ready to go see Xiu?" The canine asked as she started down the hallway. What Mitsu didn't expect to see was a familiar glimpse of blonde hair coming down the hall. As she focused in a little more she recognized the finely dressed feline who had just recently enrolled.

Nervous on her own the lycan simply raised her hand in greeting but it seemed the ghoul was on a mission. She wondered what it was she was up to on a day like this. "H...hi Riyo. G-going shopping?" It was a possibility.

"Sort of?" Mitsu couldn't help but feel the feline was apprehensive about something. Curious the lycan turned back around and followed behind Riyo like a baby velociduckling. "Do you want some company?"

It would still get her out of her room and Mitsu didn't know the feline too well yet. It was an attempt to reach out and be more social which Mitsu was slowly learning to do. Most times it was hard especially when Shun wasn't around but she had already met Riyo before thankfully.

There was the sudden feeling like Riyo was about to say no. It almost made Mitsu feel nervous but suddenly...the ghoul had agreed. Sort of. With a nod Mitsu followed behind the feline toward the door taking in her words of warning. Not a leisure trip? So, maybe she had to pick up a few things? Maybe Mitsu could help carry a few things back?

"That's okay," Mitsu said stepping out after Riyo, looking up at the large red and black umbrella that shielded her from the downpour. Unsure if the ghoul would want to remain close, Mitsu held her umbrella out to the side and opened it up as well, taking a step to the side to get under it without being in the way of Riyo. Her umbrella wasn't nearly as big. It was more of a kiddie umbrella which seemed to suit Mitsu more than anything.

Milo was fairly quite for now, the rain apparently making him sleepy. Shifting slightly in his place around Mitsu's neck, his head laid down on his paws.

The ears on the top of Mitsu's head gave a bit of a twitch at Riyo's question. "I...I was tired of being in my room." Mitsu had become rather restless. Having spent a large portion on her life inside the lycan had finally gotten a taste of a little bit of freedom here at Amityville and she no longer wished to be cooped up.

"I don't mind the rain so much." She said thoughtfully, a hand reaching out from the safety of her umbrella to catch a few drops of rain. "Do you not like it?" She asked quietly.

Mitsu frowned a bit behind her mask. "It's umm....sorta empty." So she really didn't have much to do beyond homework, play her keyboard, and read. Not that she didn't enjoy doing all those things but being in her room really brought her little comfort. She really needed to work on saving up money to buy a few things.

The thought that Riyo shared had Mitsu's ears perking with interest. "It's a nice thought though." Mitsu said lightly. "T..there's no reason you still can't think that it can." Always trying to be the optimist. Trying anyway. "While some things can't start over like new perhaps others can."

Mitsu wasn't sure what to make of the tone Riyo was using when she said her name. Like she wanted her to snap out of dream land and come back to reality.

There was a touch of familiarity in Riyo's words though. Mitsu knew the world could be cruel...home life could be cruel, but wasn't that all the more reason to enjoy what you had? "Things can be bad sometimes," Really bad, "But that doesn't mean we can't for a moment enjoy something like company or friends." Kind of like what they were doing now. "Even if they're not around forever you can enjoy them while they're there." Something in Mitsu's tone left one to wonder if she expected this life she currently had to just disappear. Like one day she would wake up and her friends wouldn't be there.

As far as believing it on her own, Mitsu probably would. It was a nice thought to think about that tomorrow would be a new day that perhaps she could start over.

"L...like candy?" Mitsu supposed it was true now that she thought about it but..."Memories can be painful at times but I would rather have them than nothing at all." Memories were all she had of her brother at this point and it was true, she missed him a lot but there wasn't much she could do about it. Something about it was bittersweet in a way.

The further they walked it seemed the rain began to pour all the more. It made viewing the town up ahead a little difficult. "So where are we headed to?" Mitsu asked curiously in an attempt to change the conversation. The feline had made her view on the matter pretty clear and Mitsu wasn't out to change her mind, though she would have liked to convince her that having friends wasn't a bad thing. Mitsu had discovered they were wonderful to have.
