Since the orientation ended, Mira was doing some pre-school paperwork. She was working hard at her job, as she had for a long time. Granted she was no workaholic, but certainly one of the more hardworking counselors. Though it did cost her her social activity. She doesn't talk to the other counselors. Or the other staff really. In fact, she doesn't want to make direct contact with anyone unless they come up to her. After all, she wasn't a fan of humans. But thankfully for her, there are more than just humans.
Suddenly, a knock was heard at the door. "Come in," she said. The door opened up to reveal Ystmurra. "Hey, Zei-"
"Close the door!" She whisper yelled to Ystmurra. He jumped in shock and shut the door.
"Sorry, Zeilyph."
She smiled and got up. "It's alright, Ystmurra. Come here, it's been so long!" She walked up to him and gave him a hug. Ystmurra chuckled and hugged back.
"Come on, Zeilyph, it's only been eight years, compared to how long we've been around. But it's great to see you again."
Zeilyph let go. "Speaking of eight years, how have you been? What have you been up to?"
"Well," Ystmurra started, "since you left, I had been wandering around Japan. I've met some nice people, but then it's because they think I'm one of them. But that won't be for long. Anyways, I saw the sights and they were great. I was lonely though. But at one point, I managed to meet-"
Zeilyph interrupted. "Stop. Ystmurra... please... PLEASE don't say what I think you're going to say."
"But... I made friends with a human."
Zeilyph put her hands on his shoulders. "Ystmurra what have I told you about these thing? I keep telling you, don't trust humans! They will double-cross you the second they found out you were a-"
"She knows."
There was a long pause.
"... She?"
"I met a girl, Zeilyph. Back in Okinawa. I was resting in my ghoul form in the forest and a woman walked up to me. She thought I was... cool. I ran away, but she followed me. Honestly, I thought she was gonna kill me. But she only looked at me in the eyes. She smiled at me, Zeilyph! I reverted to human form. She looked shocked. We talked for a bit. That was four years ago. The next year we started to hang out. then the next we started... well, dating. I lived with her for two years until I had to come here- Zeilyph what're you doing?"
Zeilyph was rubbing her face and pacing. "No, no no no, Ystmurra, why? It's one thing to meet a human, wh-why would you fah... f-fall in LOVE with one?! She can MESS WITH YOUR HEAD! She can ruin your life with your own emotions, she can-"
"Zeilyph!"
Zeilyph stopped in shock of Ystmurra's sudden burst.
"She's not bad. She's alright, I... we love eachother, Zei-"
"Don't. Just... I get it, you have feelings for this, this... human. Just... try not to communicate with her too much, okay? Please understand, I'm only mad because I'm worried for you. We ghouls... just coming into the world as a ghoul means you either died horribly or you died with intense regret. You don't need more of that." She then smiled and begun tussling his hair. "After all, more of that would mess with that big heart you have."
Ystmurra laughed. "Alright, stop it, you're embarrassing me... in front of no one..."
Zeilyph stopped and gave Ystmurra a slightly pained smile. "I'm sorry, but it's not like I'm completely cutting you off. Just trust me on this. I'm only concerned. Okay?"
Ystmurra returned the smile.
"... alright. I'll limit my conversations with her. I promise."
"Good," Zeilyph said. "Now then, get on outta here, you little bugger. I still have to finish up paperwork."
Ystmurra smiled and left with a wave. Zeilyph sat back down and tried to reprocess what just happened.
"Oh, Ystmurra... why would you get entangled with this woman? I cannot believe you...
"... but then maybe it's for real. After all, he did say that she already saw his ghoul form. I guess if Ystmurra behaves... I'll alleviate his restrictions."
