Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mitsu had managed to gain a small sense of comfort in her room. Though at times she still jumped at shadows she remained mostly calm and really gave no interest in venturing passed her door to the outside world. The only thing she did was focus on the sky from her window when day turned to night and vice versa. Time still moved on.

It worried her that Shun didn't say much, not after he determined the things he was saying (though she was pretty sure he didn't know what things) were upsetting her. At times it was a tad awkward but she tried to make the best of it and did her best to pretend she was okay...or at least getting better. That's what he wanted after all wasn't it? So why was it Shun only seemed to be getting worse. He slept about as much as she did which wasn't at all. While she forced herself to eat something he ate nothing. Great example.

Even now he was doing push ups, pushing himself far more than he should until his body just didn't want to go on and he flopped. As he laid there beside the bed Mitsu rolled to her side and slid her torso off first, stationing herself above him before she slid off the rest of the way to lay on top of him gently. It was like she was trying to keep him in place on the floor in order to rest using her body weight to keep him down. She had also brought a treat with her, an apple slice which she brought around to the reaper's face hoping he would take it.

Even with her extra weight Shun struggled to get up before finally giving in and laying where he was. Getting him to take the food was an entirely different matter. He shifted his head away and in turn Mitsu switched the apple slice to her other hand and held it in front of his face. It wasn't likely she was going to give up. She was patient but she had an edge of abrasiveness she didn't have before.

While she waited for him to take the food her other hand came around to rub against the stubble on his face. It seemed to amuse her in some odd childish way. Maybe because it was rather pitiful as far as facial hair went. It wasn't at all like the beard Hel had slapped on him.

Mitsu let out a small puff of air against Shun's neck, something like a silent sigh as she continued to hold the apple slice ready for him to take it. The movement of her breath, however, rustled his hair enough that she saw something strange along the back of his neck. Curious, her hand left his face and shifted the hair aside so that she could see the odd swirly mark. When had he gotten a tattoo? He didn't have this before she was certain of it.

Tapping his shoulder Mitsu lightly poked the back of his neck, moving her face into view so that she could give him a questioning look....and possibly shove the apple in his face when his mouth was visible. Two birds with one stone really.

He had turned toward her looking confused like he had no idea why she was poking him. She rested her forehead against his shoulder for a moment exasperated before she suddenly got an idea.

Being quick about it she pulled back his lip just enough to pop the apple into place, though awkwardly, before getting up and moving to her bookshelf. She had notebooks upon notebooks there it was just a matter of finding one with blank pages. When she finally found one she flipped passed her notes on mini pets and landed on a blank page. She grabbed a pencil that was sitting on her shelf and moved back to Shun.

Plopping down in front of him she set the notebook on the floor and with the pencil drew a swirl in the center of the page. Once done she lifted the notebook to show him before pointing to the back of his neck again.

A mark? From Medea? What did that mean exactly? What did that entail? There were so many things she wanted to ask and no way to ask any of them. For a moment she looked depressed, like the weight of the world was keeping her down but that moment passed when she looked back at Shun. She forced her face to brighten a little but couldn't bring herself to do much else.

She tapped the pencil again her notebook, noting the fact he hadn't eaten the apple. She pointed at it and then to his mouth before making a chewing eating motion of her own. It was her way to telling him to eat.

There was a sad look on her face when he said it was her food and she pointed to his mouth again. When he offered the apple slice back to her she shook her head. No, she wasn't going to take it. In fact, if he wasn't going to eat neither was she. Mitsu would eat again when he ate with her and not before. Too bad this thought couldn't be conveyed verbally.

Silently sighing again Mitsu felt her ears droop beside her head and gently reached up her hand to touch them. They looked so large and awkward on her head now, especially with her lack of hair. She had a little bit of hair growth back but not enough to keep her ears from looking like dinner plates on top of hear head. There had been something she had been meaning to try but going through with it was a different matter. It couldn't be that hard right? No doubt it was like the rest of her shifting. She just needed to visualize what she wanted and put energy into making it happen.

Mitsu suddenly looked very thoughtful like the previous matter had been forgotten. A.D.D at its finest.

Plots of force feeding you the apple would come later Shun, don't you worry. For now Mitsu's mind had wandered to other things trying to focus on what she wanted to happen. Her brain was still a little muddled though so what eventually happened didn't work out entirely as planned. Her ears shifted turning from large wolf ears stationed at the top of her head to petite human ears...still at the top of her head.

Her eyes turned to panic realizing that wasn't right, hopping to her feet as she tried to hide her mistake. Oh jack oh jack oh jack oh jack. Think! Concentrate! She closed her eyes and willed herself to focus. Mitsu only knew one thing, she needed to look humanish. Look human. That was her focus.

Eventually her ears appeared where they were supposed to and she tentatively removed her hands from the top of her head to find there was only short hair where her ears had been before. The world seemed so much...quieter and she had to cup her hands by her ears to hear even remotely close to how she had before. How did Shun hear anything like this?

Well....at least it worked right? Mitsu was certain this looked a little less awkward. She turned to go have a look in one of the smaller mirrors she hadn't broken and suddenly found herself wavering and off balance. It was like she was leaning too far forward but when she tried to compensate she leaned too far back and fell landing on her rear.

Her face was pained and her eyes were shut tight as she reached back to rub her now sore backside to find that something else was now missing....she had no tail. Oh Jack oh Jack oh Jack oh Jack! Mayday mayday! Abort! This was all wrong!

She scrambled onto her hands and knees looking behind herself trying to spot a tail that wasn't there. What had happened to her tail!? Had she tried too hard to look human? How did she fix this? Oh jack wait she just needed to focus right? If only she wasn't so shaken and flustered at the moment.
