Nataku? Are you awake? At least, I hope you are Nataku…

[slightly groggy] Yes, I'm Nataku. [pause at hearing voice, as Nataku gets up, holding throat] It's changed. Why has it changed? And, my hair [grabs two longer strands to pull on them] My hair is -- [and more pressing concerns come up] Where is my teddy bear?

Changed? [a slight chair creak as Eclipse turns to face his guest] You mean you were not always like you are now?

No, I was not. [momentarily flailing before finding teddy bear, that crisis averted before standing up on the bed to throw newly acquired bear at Eclipse's head] What have you done to me?

[the sound of said teddy bear hitting the wall as Eclipse ducks and then a few seconds later picks it up] I did nothing to you besides carry you in here to lie on the bed. [it should be noted that Eclipse keeps the teddy bear in his hands to make sure it doesn't get thrown at him again]

Hey, that's mine. [confused expression, looks down] I'm a little thinner, too. Look, my clothes don't fit well. [lifts up arm to show how baggy it looks] And [pause, before frantic touching of chest] Lumps? Wait. [look down shirt which initiates a long pause] Am I a girl?

So it would seem...Have you never been a...[clearing of the throat] woman before? [a pause where Eclipse tosses the teddy bear back reluctantly and has his cat sit in his lap]

Kazuki was but Nataku wasn't. [teddy bear misses Nataku as she jumps up to look at a mirror] I'm touched. I'm so touched. [she hurries over to somewhat tackle Eclipse] I'm squishy now~

[a startled meow as the cat jumps off of Eclipse's lap as he's tackled, and a surprised yell from Eclipse at the same time] Sq-Squishy? [an uncomfortable shift in the chair] Nataku...

Yes, like Grune and Mother. Isn't it wonderful? [cheerful smiles to be felt through speech] Eclipse~

It is good for you, Nataku, if you would prefer to be squishy. [a cough] Could you please....?

I don't know. Kazuki was squishy, but Nataku isn't. But [suddenly confused] Which one should I be? [looks up, confused] Please?

Which what should you be? [embarrassed, but the whole paternal thing takes over] Un-tackle me?

What I was before or how I am now? I am not sure -- which would Mother and Fathers like? [returning back to the conversation] Why? I'm touched and I want you to be touched, too.

I suppose parents would like whatever. Isn't that what parents are supposed to do? [a slight groan in the chair as he shifts] Touched? This is not what I thought of when you mentioned "touched" previously.

I don't know. [becoming more worried -- starts picking at Eclipse's clothes as a nervous gesture] I meant to be very happy. And you don't seem very happy. But when I'm held, I'm very happy. So, are you very happy, yet?

[some transcribed confused blinking, and then a non-awkward ruffle of Nataku's hair and the second smile in one day] Yes, I am, thank you.

[bright smile -- gasp, a full one and raises hands up like before to form into a heart] I'm glad to hear that. It's kind of you to cheer me up too. [pause, before explanation] I always feel better when Mother and Fathers' ruffle my hair. It's gotten longer now, but it's still just as good. [sudden kiss on the cheek] You're really kind.

[more transcribed blinking] I am glad to be of some worth to you. [a pause] Thank you.

You are. We're comrades. [hops off to grab teddy bear off the floor] I have to show my family my new body now. [bouncing around] I'm so excited. [pause] Oh, and your cat is a dark gray color. Perhaps, you haven't lost the ability to see color, after all. [total scamper to the door] Bye-bye, Eclipse~

{{ooc: Eclipse is this color, and Nataku is this color! Woot~}}
