With a new lease on existence came the obligatory new clothes shopping part. Well that, and Hel just really needed some new clothes. She was really starting to wear a lot of her other clothes out to the point of rags. Usually she didn’t bother buying clothes from the maul but…she was starting to appreciate tops that were like her usual tunics…but had lace on the edges and such. Kind of…ghouly. But she liked it…and it made her rack look great.
Now the ghoul just happened to be wandering around the maul, seeing what was going on, with her bags in hand. Walking past one store, Hel couldn’t help but glance, and immediately stopped, squinting. Was…was that Shun? Immediately perking up, the reaper spun on her heel and made a beeline to the grim.
She was about to say hello as she popped up at his side, but his purchase immediately caught her attention and derailed any good train of thought.
“…Is that…a giant panda suit?”

It wasn't often Shun would find himself at the mall. Especially for something like this. A part of him couldn't really believe he was doing this. But... it was all in some attempt to cheer up his lycan. Something that could bring a smile to her face. Maybe even make her laugh.
At the cost of some of his dignity.
"The things I do for love..." he muttered under his breath as he stared at the panda kigurumi he was considering on buying. Hopefully no one he knew was arou--
Hearing Hel's voice ask him a rather specific question, the Reaper went rigid.
s**t.
"... It's a kigurumi. Technically.. they're used as pajamas. But in its simplest form, yes." he said with irritation, "Don't make me slit your throat over this."
That said, he turned around to face the valkyrie, not entirely happy to run into her here. His pride was at stake. Though, when he did turn, he was surprised to see that Hel had changed. Furrowing his brow, he looked over the now-darker Hel.
"What the hell happened to you?"

Hel’s lips couldn’t help but curl upwards as Shun went rigid. Busted. “Giant panda pajamas, huh? Okay then.” The ghoul rolled her eyes as Shun threatened to slit her throat. Again. “One of these days you will slit my throat for furrowing my brow at you.” She teased and dismissed with a hand wave. “So I take it I am not supposed to tell anyone, huh? That you are buying a giant panda suit?”
The ghoul blinked, now resting her hands on her hips. “What do you mean what the hell happened? I did not do—OH.” Oh yeah. “…Oh. Ya…” She shrugged a bit.

"Exactly that. My dignity is taking enough damage without needing people to know about this," he hissed, "This is for Mitsu's sake just so you know."
With a sort of huff, Shun shook his head while watching Hel. It took her a moment to realize what he was talking about in regards to her current situation.
"Yes. You're no longer split down the middle. Did something cause that?"

Hel laughed. “Shun, since when did you care about what others thought about you?” She nodded her head though. “Ya…I figured…” She trailed off for a moment, and then grinned widely. “She is home now then…and you are safe and sound before me as well, ya?” Did Shun go to the Hunters? WHAT HAPPENED!?
“Ah…ya.” Hel looked at her left hand again. “…You see, a valkyrie placed a curse upon my mother’s scarelings because of something my mother had done…and it affected me…but only in appearance, so I was split down the middle…as I am supposed to look like a copy of Freya, ya? But now…I suppose it just went all the way.”

"It's less about what they think over what they may do. Such as incessantly reminding me of this. Which depending on how that goes could end up with more people in the nurse's office," Shun muttered. Though, he soon nodded at her question regarding Mitsu.
"She is. Ironically the one who helped send her back was the one who put her there in the first place. This changes little though," he murmured once more, then listened to what Hel had to say regarding the split toned nature. He never knew the story behind it. He never asked. Though seeing her suddenly one color was a bit jarring.
"Interesting. This does not effect you outside of your appearance though?"
He wasn't sure if this was something to be concerned about. It was a curse and all.

Hel snickered. “Aww, but Shun! Sending people to the nurse’s office sounds fun.” She grinned a bit, and nodded her head, before surprised took over her face. “You mean…that conniving b***h…? Sent her back?” As surprised as she was, Shun was right. This didn’t change anything. It didn’t change the agony they had all gone through when Mitsu was captured…but Mitsu was safe at home now, and that was what mattered. “So…you did not have to go…?”
“In a way, it already did? I mean, I am small for a valkyrie, friend. My mother and almost all of my sisters are taller than six feet, and you remember how small my wings were, in comparison to Freya’s.” Hel’s brows furrowed a bit. “As for health…I feel fine? But if I keel over one day or cease to exist, we should know why, ya?” She laughed a bit.

"I didn't. I found Mitsu in the nurse's office after I dissipated one day. Her body is almost as scarred as mine now. They had shaved her hair and she lost her voice as well," Shun said lowly. That wasn't to say the mental damage she had sustained too. Shaking his head, he looked over towards Hel and nodded slowly to her.
"I suppose. Well, as long as it is an aesthetic change it should be no issue. It was just a little surprising to see you this way all of the sudden."

Hel seemed rather surprised by the news. Found her in the nurse’s office, huh? As Shun went on further to describe how she was, though, the ghoul’s face darkened and her fists clenched. They tortured her then. They tortured and disfigured her. She grit her teeth. Whoever wanted them to try and get along with Hunters…no. She just couldn’t. Not after things like this. They needed to be exterminated…
The ghoul was shaken from her dark thoughts as the topic of her skin came back up, and the ghoul’s tension eased as she nodded her head a bit. “Surprising, huh?” She muttered, flexing her left hand as she stared at it. “Ya. I suppose it would be to others…I have been watching myself for the duration…” The ghoul rolled her shoulders idly. “It is what it is though…” She trailed off, looking back down at the panda pajamas.
“…So…are you going to buy them…?”

She wasn't the only one. Shun was still rather steadfast in his believe that the hunters needed to be eliminated. Furthermore, Candace needed to pay. One way or another.
"So it wasn't an instant process then," Shun mused. That made sense he supposed. When the question was tossed back on whether he was going to buy the panda thing or not, he eyed her for the moment then let out a sigh.
"..Yes. Though there's something else I wanted to get while I'm at the mall. What are you seeking here exactly?" he asked.

“No, it was not…it crept across my skin bit by bit!” The reaper informed.
She eyed Shun back, raising a brow, and tilted her head at his sigh. Her lips couldn’t help but curl into a big smile as Shun said he was going to buy those panda pajamas. It was jacking hilarious…but at the same time…terribly sweet. The fact that Shun would do that for Mitsu warmed the small black pit that had become her heart. No, let’s face it, Hel was a closet romantic, even the disaster with Mot didn’t change that.
Briefly she wondered if she’d ever find someone who would go through those lengths for her in her existence. Briefly, and then she squashed any more thoughts.
“Oh? What else did you want to get…?” The ghoul lifted her large bag and opened it, showing its contents to Shun. “Just some new tops…bloomer bottoms…undergarments…and…oh…do not mind the bra right on top!” She grinned a bit.

When the bag opened, Shun glanced down... and first noticed the rather large bra. Huh. Well. She did have some sizable breasts. Shaking his head to himself, he nodded to her.
"I see. I was thinking of getting an audio book of sorts. Mitsu used to enjoy reading to me, but with her voice gone at the moment, that isn't really possible."
He wasn't sure what book he'd grab. He'd figure that out when he reached the store for it.
"The bookstore should still have a decent selection of such things, right?"

The ghoul nodded her head, closing her bag and shifting it back to one hand. With the way Shun typed…yeah…him reading was out of the question. At his question, Hel’s brows furrowed. “It uh…makes sense, ya?”
Obviously Hel was not a big fan of books, or reading for that matter…but books on CD would hopefully be at a book store., right? “…Ah…I am certain? Let us go and look!” Funny how Hel had just invited herself to tag along now. Sorry Shun. That’s what happens when you’re Hel’s friend.

Shun could try to read for Mitsu in turn. It just wouldn't work out too well. They would get a whole new story altogether most likely. And one that didn't really make all too much sense at that.
"Very well," the Reaper said while raising an eyebrow to Hel briefly. Shrugging it off, he went ahead to buy the panda kigurumi first. It at least didn't cost too much. He was still saving up his seeds, especially since things had come to a bit of a halt with the recent events.
Once the thing was bought, he glanced to Hel.
"I also take it you've calmed down since the battle of the bands?"
That was the last time he had seen her after all.

Hel trailed after Shun, looking everywhere but at the panda pajamas as he bought them, lest she start giggling like a mad ghoul.
After that was done, she fell into step with the reaper, on their way to the book store. “Hmmm? Oh. Ya. I have.” She grinned a bit sheepishly at him, swinging her bag back and forth. “I spoke to Mot sometime after and we…worked things out…I suppose? At the least…I apologized, and he did as well.”
