It had been too long. Far too long. Aurora had successfully avoided any contact with the Dark Mirror Court for two full weeks, save for Jett. She wanted to talk to Touta, she really did. But during that whole time she was just so exhausted and weary and teetering between sure and unsure of what to do next. It felt so unlike her that it was just downright scary. Best friends should be able to handle such things, right? RIGHT? But when your best girl friend was a member of a group that you still were worried about you tend to shy away from her. What to say? What to do? Talk about that local sports team? Maybe discuss your favorite ships? Maybe eat a whole bucket of ice cream and watch a horribly romantic movie? Aurora had heard of such things but never really experienced them! And this whole notion of having a girl for a best friend was pretty foreign too! By two weeks, enough indecision was enough. She barely squeaked out a request for Touta to meet her at the park. And... and... Toutatis agreed. So Aurora sat on top of the monkey bars, awaiting her bff. The unnatural worry crept throughout her body. Would Touta be mad? Was she okay? How was she doing? Maybe she'd be proud of her for powering up. She'd be the first Dark Mirror senshi to see her this way. That... had to count for something, right? Errrrgh.

Toutatis had to admit. Over the past couple weeks she had thought about contacting Aurora. She had certainly been worried about her friend. But she was also dealing with her own things as well. So her thoughts had been kept busy. But more recently when powered her thoughts were quieted and still. No longer whispering and chattering at her up close. At a distance to where she could barely hear or hear them not at all. It was strange but calming she supposed. When the call from Aurora had finally come she did not rush out to meet her. If her friend had called her obviously she would be there where they had agreed to meet. The park of course. It was where they had first met powered up. A familiar place to both of them. So it really only made sense. She slipped through a mirror that was hidden close to the park. Obviously there was no real need to walking all that distance anymore. Mirror walking had become easier and less straining since she'd powered up. So why the hell not do it? The heels of her boots clicked upon the pavement as she moved methodically through the park. Keeping to the shadows until she spotted a familiar shock of pink hair from a distance. It could only be one person she knew. Stopping on the edge of the sand, Toutatis crossed her arms over her chest as she regarded the other Dark Mirror from behind. "Aurora..."

Yayoi /quote] She kicked her feet, even as she felt a Chaos aura approaching. Was it Toutatis? Wait, what. This aura was just as strong as hers. When she'd last left her friend, they were still on the same level. Still little newbies in the whole big game of things. Had.. had Touta powered up around the same time that she did? Or was this someone else? Someone she didn't necessarily want to see? When she heard Touta's voice, total relief washed over her. The dark mirror senshi hopped off her perch and bounded towards her friend, grabbed her in the biggest hug that she could muster. It was the best voice she'd heard all day.

She had suspected once she'd gotten closer that Aurora had risen in power. The signature was certainly stronger. Though it had thrown her off a little at first. But visual confirmation removed all doubt. And here came the hug. A hug that almost took the wind out of her but made her lightly chuckle all in the same vein. She pet the other girl's head lightly with a smile. "I'm glad to see you are doing well. Its been a while."

"Ahahahaha, yeah, uhm. How long?" Aurora squeezed her friend tighter. And there they came, the little sniffles and the tears started flowing freely now. She should have contacted Touta sooner. Much sooner. But it didn't matter. They were in there here and now and Touta was here. She didn't let go. She really didn't want to. All of the emotions that she felt over the past two weeks just tumbled and crashed together and there was really nothing she could do but let it out.

"A little over two weeks? Maybe three?" She had honestly lost track really. Just that it had been a while since the last time she had seen hide or hair of her pink haired friend. And then tears. And sobbing. Toutatis could feel her friend's body shake against her with each gasp of breath. She couldn't help but feel her heart break. But no. No. She couldn't let her feelings over whelm her. Ruby red lips pulled into a tight lipped frown as she continued to pet Aurora's head. "What's going on Aurora? What's with all the tears?"

"I d-dunno... I can't stop.... I just. Ever since .. ever since I saw your horror apparition thingie things have been going... wacky." Toutatis's attack. Seeing herself as some sort of death. "N-no, even before that." Being called a murderer. She just couldn't get over it all. "Everything. I think it's okay and I'm all happy again just like before, but it-- I can't handle it." Aurora pulled away from her friend so that she could wipe her face with her sleeve. "And just when I get a boyfriend accidentally and he takes care of me, he gets all mad that I'm more powerful than him now and -- and---" Her shoulders slumped. Her mind was going in every which direction and she was just spilling everything all out at once. "I'm really confused. And I'm tired. And I don't think I want to do this anymore." Sniff. "I used to be so optimistic about everything and I'm trying. But right now I just wanna... quit." She blinked and looked up at her. "So how are you?"

Aurora's mouth was going a mile a minute, Toutatis was have slight trouble keeping up with everything she was blurting out. She did though catch the tail end of the ramble to which her eyebrows furrowed and her frown deepened. "First...I didn't even know you had a boyfriend. I can only assume he's not just some ordinary civilian guy. And second, he is mad at you because you're more powerful than him?" She didn't really like this guy already and she hadn't even met him. "That's bullshit." Just stay calm. Breath. And she did. Toutatis hadn't realized she'd been holding her breath so she let it out long and slow. When Aurora spoke of quitting it took everything in her power not to shake her. Shaking and yelling would get her no where and probably send her off running once more. She wasn't really sure what to say. Sure it had been rough and she still had things she needed to work out. But Toutatis wasn't a quitter and the thought of just giving up after a couple bad experiences had never crossed her mind. "You can't quit."She rubbed the back of her neck lightly before placing a hand on top of Aurora's head. "I'm fine. If you uh...couldn't tell from the recent garb change I've powered up as well." It was certainly different. "If you are tired why aren't you home resting?"

After that whole emo info dump, Aurora wasn't exactly sure what to say next. It just got a whole load off her chest that Touta didn't quite all manage to get. Stuff that she tried best to keep hidden within her. She thought it would help. It didn't. So she moved on. "Yeah, haha, you did. And your red tips went away. I really liked those red tips. They were pretty cool." She took a breath and blinked. Why wasn't she at home resting? "Uhm, it's because I wanted to see you. Since we haven't seen each other in forever." The senshi sniffed and wiped at her face again. "Soooo, did a cat tell you to jump into a mirror too?" She was trying hard to find a subject to talk about and failing.

Toutatis had felt her change in power needed a change in the physical sense as well. "I might add them back in later. It felt apropo to get a hair cut at the time I guess." She couldn't say she missed the red dye in her hair. A lot of what had happened lately had kick started some sort of change for her. So much change. While Aurora seemed to want to give up, Toutatis was trying to find her place. It was hard when your friend pulled back while you wished to keep going forward. "You could have just...called me to meet at your place. Or you could have come to my dorm." All in all she didn't want Aurora exhausting herself if she was tired. She would rather speak to her when she was rested and had a clear head. "We can go back to my place if you want instead of standing out here in the cold."The whole experience she had gone through with powering up to Super still lingered fresh in her mind. A small shiver ran up her spine as she could recall how charged she felt. The power flowing into her yet how vulnerable at the same time. Change.... "Something like that."

"Uhm, ahahahaha... yeah, I guess so. I mean, meeting you at your dorm might've been the smarter thing to do," Aurora admitted, her cheeks blushing even redder outside of the cold. "I guess, I just wanted to see you A-S-A-P. Er, once I stopped being so down and out and all that. Uhm, sorry.. about what I just said. I just needed to get it off my chest." She rubbed at her arm. "I usually don't.. y'know, get all emo like this n' stuff." She nodded. "Maybe we should go back to your place. It's super chilly aaaghhhh... We have a bunch of catching up to do and I don't wanna do it outside here!"

"Don't worry about it. I knew once you collected yourself you'd come find me." She waved a dismissive hand in the air before linking her arm through Aurora's. Tugging lightly to lead her back to the mirror she had arrived through. "Come on, it'll be faster to mirror walk than hitting the pavement." It would also give Aurora the ability to travel to her dorm without raising suspicions. And of course as she said, faster too. She trusted Aurora enough to let her do that.

"Oh. I, uh, haven't mirror-walked since..." Since the fight, was what she left unsaid. "But it's okay! Ahahaha. It'll be faster. N' stuff." Man, being sad was HARD. She had to have a better outlook than THIS. So she allowed her friend to drag her to and through that mirror. Maybe it'd be just what the Doctor of Horror ordered. Duh nuh nuuuuuuuh.
