Tsun coughed. After her huge crash, this is the first busy town she had set foot on. Still with her clothes half-torn and her goggles messily strapped on her head, the pink-haired lass dragged her feet alongside the large Quolian River. The burn marks are still present on her skin, but that doesn't seem to bother her one bit, what bothers her is...
Tsun lifted her chin up, squinting her eyes at the bright sky beyond. "This is...annoying..." Not being able to touch the sky, this is Tsun's greatest annoyance. Her aircraft exploded, it felt like some fragments of herself has been stripped away from her, and in between the busy crowd rushing passed her, Tsun paused her steps.
She glanced at the river to her side, staring intently at the reflection of her beloved sky. Without her knowing it, her hand is reaching out to the water, her whole left hand is red by the burns from her crash, but paid no mind to it. When suddenly, a person rushing through knocked her off her feet...
"Gah-- AaaaaAAAHH!!" SPLASH!!
...and into the river.
"Argh...!" Being a stubborn brat, she never calls for help from anybody, but she was born within the sky...and never once met water. Simply said, she can't swim. Still, the little girl gritted her teeth and tries to reach her way to the edge of the river...but that's a rather difficult attempt since she's all the way in the middle.

Itsumo was walking around different places of the orient during the day, finding his way to a rather beautiful river. We walked along the river, ignoring anyone around since no one spoke to him anyway, just watched the water with a slight smile as he thought about things. Suddenly then he saw a girl who'd just been knocked into the water and was trying to swim to shore but unsuccessfully.
Itsumo's eyes widened and he ran off towards where the slight current was taking her and jumped into the water, swimming after her. He finally reached her and wrapped an arm around her, pulling her with him as he swam as fast as he could through the current towards the edge. He finally made it, grabbing on and pushed her up over it then climbed up next to her and sat there, just breathing for a minute. "Are you.. okay?" He asked between breaths, looking over at her.

Tsun could cuss her life out when her feet can't even reach the base of the river no matter how much she drown down. Every time she tried to breath, she swallowed water, and every time she tries to balance herself, the water kept pushing her here and there with the wild current.
Just as she's in the brink of her lung limit, something pulled her. Before she knows it, she's been smacked right back on good steady pavement and found herself coughing horribly to get all that water out of her mouth.
But then, she heard a voice. A voice asking her if she's alright.
At this, Tsun quickly glanced up, her whole face contorted to surprise, then shock, then disgust, and finally annoyance. "What the hell?!" Since her feet is nearer to this stranger than her fists are, she delivered a kick at his arm, strongly. But not so much that it would cause him to fall over, just barely.
The pink-haired coughed again, in an attempt to get every drop of that accursed water she swallowed out. After that, she pushed herself to sit up, all wet and soggy. Her hair is everywhere on her eyes and her outfit's not only burnt down now, but sloppy also. Her skin burns also stings now that its in contact with water, and that only boosts her wrath. ...She needs an outlet to channel this out, that's when she sees the boy sitting right beside her.
"Hey you, are you TRYING to make me OWE you?!"
...And thus starts the torment from the incredibly sharp-tongued brat named Tsun.

Itsumo's eyes opened wide as she shouted in annoyance and he felt a pain in his arm just then as she kicked him, nearly knocking him over as the rough swim took a bit out of him. "H..Hey!" He said, a little put off by her attitude after he saved her. He wasn't mad but confused.
"I..I'm not!" He stammered slightly in surprise. "I saw you in trouble and didn't want you to drown. I don't expect a thing in return." He said a bit calmer, a worried look on his face as his ears went back a bit with worry.

Tsun combed up her hair with her fingers, trying her best to get her long locks away from her eyes so she can glare properly at this boy. Though, upon hearing his reason, Tsun straightened her sitting posture and eyed the boy with a brow quirked. She had adjusted her goggles to be right above her forehead to hold all that dripping wet hair out of her face as a final touch, and she's happy with it.
"Oh? Don't expect a thing in return, what a joke... There's ALWAYS a reason for everything! So why'd you do it, huh?!" Tsun leaned forward with her arms crossed on her chest, glaring straight at his eyes, but almost as if she's searching for something inside. She paused for a while, still staring towards this boy, and finally curved up a grin.
"Heeeey...you're a lost cat, aren't you?!"

As she spoke and leaned forward, he leaned away a bit, lowering his head and ears, showing his uncertainty and worry. "I..I swear, I don't want anything... I really just wanted you to be okay." He said with a slightly shaky voice, hoping she'll believe him and not kick him again or hurt him in other ways.
He perked up slightly at her next question, ears flicking up a bit then back down. "W..Well, I wouldn't say lost.... exactly...." He said with a bit uncertainty as his eyes looked off to the side a bit.

"Oh are you?" That terribly wicked grin only grows at his answer. Its not his reason on why he saved her that interests Tsun, it's how he said it. Back in her place, people would call her a psycho for messing with people's minds with just a single glance, since she can detect others' weaknesses with just that one glance.
"Yes, you're lost, don't deny it. You are insecure, timid, naive, and act out of instinct and morals and follow whatever you think is 'right'." Tsun stated, never leaving her eyes away from him. Somewhat proud, the pink-haired child pulled herself back from leaning and sat straight, only now swallowing in the boy's whole feature since she had only focused on his eyes only before.
And just noticed that he really is a 'cat'.
"What the BLOODY EGG is THAT?!" Tsun jumped back with an index finger pointed towards the guy's ears, almost slipping off and falling onto the river all over again, "Are they flippin' CAT ears?! ...WOW, you are MORE pathetic than I imagine, you're wearing CAT EARS?! And what next, cat tail and whiskers and yarn?? Gimme a break!"

Itsumo's ears and head lowered more as she stated exactly how he was, that making him feel even more unsure and worried. He couldn't say anything back.
After she moved back, he was shocked at her loud surprise, wondering what suddenly freaked her out. His ears perked back at the loud noise the loosened back to normal. Then when she called him even more pathetic, his ears instantly dropped again. As she continued with the observation, he became confused. One ear lifted while the other remained dropped and his head tilted slightly in that direction as a confused look spread onto his face.
"Wearing...?" He questioned with confusion evident in his voice. "They're my real ears.... and.... I do have a tail..." He said a bit quietly, his ear lowering again, worried at how she'll react now.

Tsun was kind of freaked out as she noticed how his ears occasionally flip up and wilt down like that so freely during the time she's trying to downgrade his self-esteem. ...And it seriously freaks her out how he did that.
That's when he admits its attached to him...literally.
Tsun's eyebrows stopped creasing, and shot right up to her hairline. "Hah! Don't give me that joke, I'm not buying it. There must be some kind of...mechanical device that makes it move like that.." She said, before putting all her weight onto her knees and made her way to Itsumo, and reached for his ears to touch and press and poke.

Tsun's eyes widened a bit and his ears pushed back as she accused him of joking then reached forward to mess with his ears. "Ah! Ow! I swear they're real! Please, believe me!" He whimpered as he tried to fall away from her without letting his ears get hurt more and without pushing her away.

"What the...hell..." No matter how strongly she tried to pull the cat ears out of his hair, it won't even budge off. In fact, the stronger she pulled it, the louder he wailed. Slowly, she's starting to believe him. Tsun fell back on her butt, blinking continuously at the boy, but now with a new infused fear inside her.
"What the hell are you? A freak?!" She began pulling herself back, away from this person...or thing. "And what the crap did they called you here?! Cat boy??" This guy being a superhero or some sort doesn't quite fit.

"Ow! Please stop!" Itsumo cried as she tugged harder, whimpering and crying out more the louder she tugged wishing she would stop. When she finally did, he pulled his hands up to cover them a moment to try and let them soothe out from the tugging.
He looked over at her as she screamed out the question and he dropped his ears at that, a rather sad look on his face as he looked down, seeming to shrink lower as she insulted him. He tried to stifle a slight whimper as he thought about her mean words and pulled himself back a bit, wondering why everything he did and everything he was seemed to be somehow wrong. He didn't know why he was different and maybe he was a freak but he didn't want to be, it wasn't his fault he was born like that.
He Turned a bit away from her, sitting all bunched up into himself. "I.... It's... Not my fault.... that I was born like this...." He whimpered quietly, looking down sadly, feeling quite insecure and hated right now.

Tsun planted her palms on the pavement she's sitting on, all wet and slippery, but enough to give her force to stand up on her two feet. Her clothes sticks to her skin now that it's all soggy, but she paid no mind to it and focused onto this boy.
"Hey! Hey, look at me, you big crybaby!" Slightly kicking the boy on the arm again, only now with much less force, as it's only to gain his attention. "Look at me. See this??" She had outstretched her left arm, and pointed at the large burn marks there, "My skin is stinging, you don't see me crying. And this!"
She now pointed at her bright pink hair, "Some mean people DYED my hair pink, and its irreversible! It's freaking PINK, damn it!" Tsun then smacked this guy on the head, and then motioned her hand towards his cat ears. "At least THAT's NATURAL!!"
The little girl huffed. Her arms crossed as she glared away. "Of course it's not your fault. It's not my fault I feel sorry for you either." She mumbled, but audible enough for him to hear.
"So just...just quit whimpering like a wimp and face me like a man! Cat man...whatever!"
Tsun is a peculiar character. One minute she's busy stepping on some poor soul, the next she's kicking back up the very soul she just stomped on.

Itsumo looked over at her then cringed and covered his arm, backing away a bit after she kicked him, looking up at her with a worried and frightful look on his face. She looked at the wounds on her body and dropped his ears again as she pointed out how she's not crying and whining about that or her oddly coloured hair. Even though he didn't think her pink hair looked very odd. He thought it suited her and made her look kind of cute.
His ears perked up again as she mumbled that she did feel sorry for him. When she continued, he lowered his ears and head a bit then stood up and looked over at her with a small attempt at a smile. He wasn't sure what to say or do, but he was grateful for her seeming to care at least a little. He thought a moment then figured out what to say. "I like your pink hair. It suits you." He said with a faint smile and a light pink in his cheeks, hoping she wouldn't get mad at that.

Tsun quietly immersed herself in awe as she stared at this guy's ears. All the way until she finished her ramble, she can't stop staring at how it moves and perked up like that, it looks so natural... The little girl backs away a bit to give him some room when the boy stood up.
His chosen words made Tsun twitched one of her eyes. It's not like she cared much of her hair, but it's definitely not something she would brag about, or even feel the need to bring the topic up in the first place. Still, she can use it to start a fight, a daily routine for her back in her home. Though now that she's far from home, she needs a new punching bag, and it's standing right in front of her now.
"What?! It's PINK, it's an embarrassment!! Are you saying it suited me because I'm an embarrassment?!" Acting angry is easy for her. She does it a lot, even if she doesn't feel a speck of emotion of the topic. Tsun enjoys tormenting people and their minds, anyway.
"You insensitive, cat-eared jee--EEERKK!" And while she attempted to punch him, the slippery pavement ultimately disabled friction and made the little girl slipped and fell on her butt. It doesn't occurred to Tsun that karma is hounding her.
