In the mirror, Shun examined the lock around his throat as carefully as he could. He could see the etching of what appeared to be daggers, among a few other things. It might have something to do with that lapse in memory he seemed to have. Fingering the small object, he stepped away and went on to take a cup of homemade pudding out of the fridge and onto his desk.
It was time to get back to normal life, he supposed.
The Reaper went on and summoned his blades, placing them carefully before the pudding. He also set a spoon near them. Mitsu would be coming over soon, so he was getting this set up as usual. With a pause, he stared down at his little display. If he had been forced to revisit certain memories... it probably meant others did as well. He frowned lightly, wondering if her time at the hunters was one of the ones for her. Hopefully, if that was the case, her mental wounds weren't ripped open as a result.
Stepping back, he glanced over at the two guitars by his wall. Perhaps he could play for her tonight as well. It was a thought. It might do well to keep her soothed, if she had relapsed at all...

After she had spent some time in her own dorm, readjusting and putting things in order, Mitsu made her way to Shun's room where she honestly spent most of her time. Milo was in tow, the little white foxfire wiggling up a storm in her grasp.
"We'll be there soon." She soothed. He was probably just excited, he really enjoyed seeing other people.
A few flights of stairs later and Mitsu had finally arrived. She knocked once before opening the door, placing Milo down as she entered. The little foxfire was a blur as he ran into the room looking around for a toy to play with. Unfortunately, Shun's room wasn't quite like Mitsu's room where toys just sat around in abundance.
"Hey, are you doing all-" She paused as she noted the lock around his neck. It looked similar to the one she wore. "You have one too..." Mitsu had spent some time looking her's over. She couldn't make sense of the designs but then again the memories she had lost were also a mystery.

Hearing the knock at his door, Shun turned in time to see Mitsu coming on in with Milo in tow. One of the first things he noticed was the lock around her neck. It looked more or less the same as the one he had.
"Yeah... I wonder how many of us have one of these then," he said as moved closer to try and get a better look at hers. As with his own, it looked like she had a few etchings in hers, but they looked different. He tilted his head slightly, then went on and leaned in to give her a light kiss to the lips.
"Oh. I managed to make a fresh batch of pudding," he said while making a vague motion towards his desk. He didn't think he would get much further with her today on the matter. But... it was worth a shot.

She smiled as he leaned in for a kiss, pressing her lips against his before he pulled away. "I'm not sure but likely there are a few." Mitsu admitted. "It means we've forgotten something right? I wonder what it was."
However, at the mention of pudding, Mitsu's ears perked. "Ah! You made pudding?" Excited to try it Mitsu stepped around Shun and headed toward the desk reaching over his blades to pick up the spoon and pudding cup. "It looks really good." She wasted no time sticking a spoon in and scooping a healthy serving into her mouth. The reaction was almost instant. Her eyes were alight and her face was set in an expression of shock and awe. It was the best pudding she had ever had.

"I think so. Something about our memories being locked away perhaps.."
It sounded metaphorical, but he had a feeling it was a bit more literal in this case, given the physical locks. He soon nodded to her as she seemed excited at the mention of pudding. There was no surprise there. What was a surprise, though, was that she had gone over and bypassed his dagger security system without even the slightest bit of hesitation.
Shun stared at her for a moment, a little stunned. Just as she was stunned.. only for different reasons altogether.
"You...you got over your fear," he said, a little blankly.

Mitsu had just managed to scoop another spoon of pudding in her mouth as Shun spoke. "Fear?" Her voice was a little muffled around the spoon her in mouth but she looked confused. Trying to determine what Shun meant Mitsu looked around to see what she might be afraid of. Floor...nope definitely not. Desk...uhh no. Window...well she still didn't like heights but it wasn't as bad. Then she finally looked to the pudding in her hand. Did he mean this?
"I have no fear of pudding.." She said reassuringly before eating another spoonful.

Shun blinked at that, wondering if that was supposed to be a joke. He had trouble picking up on jokes. It sounded like it could be a joke.
"..No. I mean of blades. Knives, specifically," he said while motioning to the pair of daggers that had been sitting in front of the pudding cup.

"Hm?" Mitsu looked back at the daggers that were sitting on Shun's desk. She looked at them thoughtfully while she licked her spoon clean. "Hmm...no I...don't think so." She shook her head.
Maybe Shun had her confused with someone or maybe he had dreamed something up. It was possible things were still confusing for him. Her own memories were still a little hazy at best. They were getting clearer as they ran through her mind but some things just didn't make sense.

Shun opened his mouth, but then closed it back. It seemed less that she had overcome the fear and more that she may have forgotten it. It could very well be one of the locked away memories around her throat. There was also still the mystery of the thing she had left behind.
..Maybe that was it?
His head was beginning to swim a bit trying to figure this out. Shaking his head, he just moved over to his bed and dismissed his blades.
"Well... whatever the case, it's good that you don't have it any longer."

Shun seemed pretty certain she had this fear but Mitsu couldn't seem to recall a time where blades had frightened her. Sure they were dangerous and they could hurt but actual fear seemed hard to imagine. Oh well, for Mitsu just went along with it and nodded with a small smile.
"Y-yeah." And with one last spoonful she had managed to finish off the pudding cup in her hand. "You said you made more right?"

In any case, it seemed that she was really enjoying the pudding he had made. Good. He had spent a considerable amount of time trying to perfect that recipe. Nodding to her, he moved towards the fridge, taking out another cup.
"Here you go," he said before seating himself. He patted the spot next to him, then took a few moments to think.
"It's a little strange.. all that really happened. And yet here we are again."

Her tail began to wag slightly as he handed her another pudding cup. It only took her seconds to start digging in, savoring each bite as she cleaned her spoon before getting more.
"Is it strange?" It almost seemed like the routine now. Though she would be happy to add pudding to the end of the routine each time. It was a worthwhile treat.
Curious now Mitsu slowed down on her last cup of pudding so that she could ask Shun a question. "This is probably silly to ask since I probably know the answer but do you have any idea of what you forgot? Like a clue of some sort?"

"A little. I mean, after all the craziness that's happened. Then again.. this is how things usually turn out it seems. Something insane would occur and afterwards we... more or less continue on with our lives. Maybe a little shaken but, that seems to be the gist of things," Shun mused. The Reaper soon paused as she asked him if he had any idea of what he had forgotten.
"For most of the things, no. But for one... I kind of do. I was thinking about some of the memories that whole thing had forced me to revisit. One of them.. I've realized I have a notable gap in."

"Oh? So you might figure one out then?" Mitsu seemed impressed. She had no idea what she had forgotten. At first she had tried to focus on what she could remember but be it the jumbled memories still settling into place or just her own limitations but she had come up with nothing. No blank spots nothing. Everything felt...normal?
"I have no clue what I forgot but I guess its not so bad." She wasn't sure if she had forgotten anything important to her or not but perhaps she would find out with time.

"Well. I have a rough idea of what might have happened, but I don't know the specifics of it. I also don't know what else I've forgotten," Shun noted. Considering that the two ends he had remembered involved being in the haunted house, worn and weary, and then hobbling away while bleeding and seeking help... it wasn't too hard to guess that someone or something had kicked his a** somewhere in between.
"That isn't necessarily a bad thing, I believe. Eventually these will come back to us anyway, it seems," he added. Well.. except whatever it was she had decided to leave behind. That, he wasn't so certain would ever come back. The memories that were locked away were sacrificed to help Excalibur.
Giving them up.. was a way to try and release a burden. Or something like that.
