Never having expected him to react in such a way, Chiyo was rather surprised by the curse words and threats he suddenly spat out, and quite passionately, too. She took a step back out of pure reflex and stared at him perplexed. Sure, Jon and Ellistree always spoke of promises to protect her, but never like this. And somehow, she strangely felt touched by his compassion towards her. It was weird, really. Why did he even care so much?
But still, she worried. Despite how Red treated her, she didn't want to rat him out just so Mondo could pound on him. She'd actually feel terrible about that if she caused a fight, especially between people she cared for. She had no idea what to do, though. Changing into her human form would make communicating easier, but she really didn't want to rely on that form if she could help it right now. Also... Recalling how Mondo tended to react around her when she was human.... Well, things could just get awkward for the both of them.
But then again.... The way he reacts when she's in human form.... Chiyo didn't think it would be possible again, but she nearly found herself smiling. He really was adorable with his shyness towards girls. It was that shyness of his that made her feel normal with her shyness towards people in general, like she wasn't alone in being a such a shy person and that it was okay to be so.
Now she was just torn wondering which form to be in, which was very strange considering how she was determined to avoid using her human form for a while, but wow. Surprisingly, this human named Mondo seemed to have some unknown effects on her. And, well.... Screw it. Let's just change because there were questions swimming in her mind that were just dying to submerge.
"Why... would you go so far for me?" she asked quietly, sticking close to the legs of the chairs and table. She was clad in her school uniform and the only new feature about her was her now very short hair.
I suck. Mondo tempts me to do a lot of things that may seem out of place. |D;;
