It was almost as if she was walking the green mile, this short little trek from the hospital wing to the waiting foyer. On a day like this, their end of the building was a ghost town, meaning that the only way she could walk any slower was if she were to trail backwards. And quite frankly, Kideme was just about to. In her mind, she was no coward, she would not run and hide from her problems, but that didn't mean she wasn't afraid of the possible outcome.

There was no good time to address something like this. She could always come back couldn't she? If there were two women in her life that Kideme could directly reference for this type of thing it was Akane and her mother. Both of them had dealt with being caught between two men....what would they do? Akane liked to make her men wait so that they could miss her, and Mame liked to have her suitors over dinner to discuss what happened. But unlike them, Kideme wasn't a beautiful woman that was rich, somewhat powerful and at a point in her life where she could do whatever she wanted. She was just a thirteen-year-old girl at 'school' who was only just discovering that there were more boundaries with boys than just being friends or enemies. It was so much more....it was....complicated.

She had been coming her long black hair over her shoulder and slowly taking a step backwards when she bumped right into Shien. He'd called her name with uncharacteristic enthusiasm and pulled her into a hug even. Kideme was certainly not complaining, and she hugged him back just as tight without hesitation, but she was surprised. "Shinny..." She echoed back with a morose kind of smile. "Are you okay? Did you get hurt?" When he answered she smiled a little more warmly with relief and she pulled down on her thermal nightgown to show him her curse mark. It was darker than it had been all year with a fair amount of inflammation beneath it. "This thing was acting up, but it's okay now. Otherwise, I just got punched in the face.....which speaking of that, dagnabbit! I lost my leeches out there. Ugh..." She looked a bit flustered but smiles back toward him. "How was your mission?" Kideme asked with genuine interest and concern. She was somewhat relieved that she could take a little time with Shien. This was going to suck though...
