Oof. Not a fraction of movement. In fact, the man stonewalled harder. Folks like this were likely to catch on to any alterations to their mental facilities, as well. No relaxing their way out of this one. "[color=orchid]Believe me, captain. I want my normal, peaceful life back as much as the next guy. One where I can walk down the streets without worrying if I'll be seeing [i]more bodies today[/i]... The first day of this war had been harsh enough.[/color]" They hadn't actually seen the bodies, but had enough hearsay from a night of dream walking to know there must have been bodies. Terrible, mutilated bodies. That was it, though...

"[color=orchid]Forgive me. I'm a little bitter, but for others, I expect bitterness is only the beginning. I have little right to comp-[/color]" Zap!

Aiko whirled about, having yet to rejoin the shoulders of his companions. Surprised mostly, maybe a little spooked, he quickly pieces together... Approximately what happened. Their latest companion seemed shocked and Yuka seemed less well than she was before, and somewhat frizzy. Whatever had happened, Aiko hurried to the designer's side.

"[color=orchid]Ooooh, sweetie, are you ok?[/color]" He tried to tame her hair, running a hand over her hair. "[color=orchid]Looks like whatever that was roughed you up, what happened? I was turned away...[/color]" He looked up at Xavier for a moment, questioning but not aggressive. He didn't seem confident about whatever had happened, and he didn't run away immediately.

Despite the crisis, they had to resist the rising desire to shift. Something about how Yuka had called them her sweet fluff had made the urge worse. If they weren't careful, they'd do it without noticing.
