[Nue appears to be sitting somewhere high up, because the only thing that can be seen in the background is sky. Behind her back, her six red and blue limbs swish back and forth, the movement uncertain and a little agitated.]

Um... I guess I should apologize for the way I acted when our bodies were mixed up. [She sounds a little awkward as she says it, like she isn't used apologizing and definitely not for something like being a little cranky. For whatever reason, though, she doesn't want her behavior to reflect badly on Kariya, so this seems like the thing to do. She scratches her cheek a little.] I was the one in Kariya's body. So if I was cranky or snapped at you, you should be mad at me and not her, okay?

[...That's all she has to say, she guesses, but she doesn't wave the Vine away just yet. Instead, she mulls something over for a few seconds longer, and then she speaks again.]

...Er. Kariya! Are you feeling well, by the way? If you see this, I mean.

[doc_holi]

Oh. That... was you.

Alright.

[She is... so confused even though everything's fixed and resolved but just... ugh.]

[undefines]

Er... Yeah. It was.

[Her shoulders slump, and five of the bend-y limbs behind her twist together in a way that can only be described as sheepish. The remaining one does something akin to waving instead.]

[doc_holi]

You-

You do have-

Um-

It's nice to meet you.

[undefines]

[Part of her wants to say, "See, I told you I didn't have enough limbs," but all things considered that doesn't seem like it would be in good taste.]

Uh... Yeah, I guess so. [...] I'm sorry if I made you worry about Kariya?

[doc_holi]

Oh, no. That's okay. I'm sure that was a crazy experience for you in the first place. I'm just glad things are back to normal.

[hihou]

And... you're okay, right? That was pretty scary...

[undefines]

Well... Yeah. I mean, everything's fixed now, right? So I'm fine.

[hihou]

Are you sure? Super sure? Super double triple sure?

[undefines]

..."Super double triple sure"?

[drinkswithminors]

Well that clears that up...

[undefines]

I guess it does.

[SQUINTS...]

Which one are you?

[This is all very confusing to sort out.]

[drinkswithminors]

I was the one that tried, and failed, to hit on you.

[undefines]

Oh.

[...She still feels kind of bad about being snippy in Kariya's body, so...]

My name is Nue.

[shanghaiworld]

Not that I met with you at that time, but how did it all feel?

[undefines]

[sigh]

Uncomfortable, mostly.

[Physically, she wasn't used to dealing chronic pain at all, and mentally she was confused and a bit distressed. So, yeah, uncomfortable is the least she can say about the experience.]

[shanghaiworld]

And do you feel that anything is wrong with you now? [There seems to be a lack of empathy here.]

[undefines]

...No? I feel kind of relieved, mostly.

[cleaningstop]

That was you?!

... Well, I'm glad it's all over.

[undefines]

...Yeah, that was me.

Me, too.

[cleaningstop]

Everything is okay for your now, right?

[undefines]

...Yeah, I guess so. I mean, other than me feeling bad about snapping at people when they thought I was her.

sorry for slooow

[tosaveyou]

Hello, Nue. [Kariya gives a little wave. It's slightly awkward, talking to someone who's been in your body, especially--considering.]

I'm fine. Well, I'm myself again. I'm glad you're back to yourself, too. I tried to take good care of your body.

[She pauses.]

It's all right if you were angry. I can understand. [It's not as if she's never angry, because she is.]

np! :3

[undefines]

...It's fine. I mean, it's not like I'm made of glass or anything. Us youkai are pretty durable, you know. Anyway, how are you feeling?

[Nue doesn't want to come right out and say that she's worried about Kariya being in pain, but, yeah, she's asking about the pain.]

[tosaveyou]

I know, but it's still your body. It's not right to have someone else in it.

[Kariya understands what Nue's asking. She pauses again.]

I'm the same as I was. But that's good. [In a way...] It hasn't gotten worse yet.

[undefines]

Even if it hasn't gotten worse, that doesn't make it good. When we were mixed up, you definitely got the better end of the deal.

[So she miiight be feeling a little guilty about leaving Kariya back in it now.]
