"Hmm well they might be still out looking for her, Why don't we go around to places we know Yue would like." Leon asked as Leanne grinned 'Sounds like a plan to me,' she thought heading out into the city, knowing places that Yue would visit were places she was planning on herself, as she checked sweet shops near the guild and the bakery that made the cinnamon buns looking for any sign of Leon's compatriots.

Leanne finds no trace of Yue or her other companions. Depending on when they all went out or Yue 'went missing', they could all be long gone by now.

Some time later, Leanne awakens to find herself cleaned up and lying comfortably in a soft bed. In place of her previous outfit (which is lying on a chair nearby, perfectly clean), she is wearing a very soft, silky nightdress.

Leanne woke slightly and smiled sleep curling up on the soft bed enjoying the feeling "It's so soft," she said groggily before remembering where she had been when she fell unconcious as she jolted up looking around the room for her apricorn balls, trying to get a feel for her new location.

Her apricorn balls are on the bedside table, polished to a perfect shine. The room is very nice. Much better than anything the Guild has. It's rather bare-bones though, despite being so fancy-looking at first glance.

Leanne let out a sigh of relief letting out Clefairy, Rex, and Puff to make sure they were alright as she looked down at the nightgown, not sure how to feel about being changed in her sleep after the ninja's remarks. She changed back into her dress, making sure not to look into mirrors or down at herself at Leon's request.

All three Pokemon are quite fine, if a bit tired. Well, except Rex. He's only disappointed that he didn't get to finish winning the fight. There is the faintest of sounds behind her shortly thereafter. No sooner has Leanne turned around when she comes face to face with the blonde Yue clone.
"Hello again. I guess you won me. What would you like to do with me?"

Leanne jumped when the ninja suddenly appeared getting a bit flustered taking a step back "Oh Hello again, Umm oh you mean what you said back in the tunnel. I'm...not sure I don't exactly know what it means when you 'win' someone. What did you expect if you won?" she asked though wasn't sure if she wanted the answer.

"I would have taken you here, to my room, and then we'd see if you could learn to like pain at all. Among other things. We wouldn't go straight to the pain unless you wanted to. Some people are scared of pain, but this isn't a bad kind of pain."

Leanne and Leon let out an internal sigh of relief glad the ninja girl had fallen down before Leanne had "I see, well how about for right now we start with introductions, you already know me Magical Girl Leanne. What's your name?" she asked trying to get away from the subject of the 'good kind of pain' for the moment.

"I am Nue Ravenbrandt." She states. A simple answer for a simple question.

"You're Nue...Can I ask you something do you know a girl named Yue? I know that's probably a silly question since your father invited us here and said he was Yue's father, which is why me and my companion..." she said trailing off "What happened to Brooke? She technically fell over before this girl." Leon said sounding worried "On my companion is she okay?" Leanne asked hoping to assuage Leon and her own worries.

Himari beams and invites Leanne into her 'sanctum'. Clefairy, having been by Leanne's side the entire time, marvels at it all. Lounging in an extravagant bed the corner is a beautiful Persian. It opens a single eye to regard the new pair for a moment, then returns to its slumber.
"So I suspect the first thing you're wanting to know is 'how do I change back', yes?" She smiles, and Leanne feels a comforting warmth within her, soothing her, as if Himari's motherly love was a tangible thing meant to soothe and comfort all who stand within her presence.

Leanne couldn't help but smile in Himari's presence something about the woman making her feel warm inside, even Leon seemed effected much less insistent on answers than when he had first heard of the former magical girl. When Himari mentioned turning back, Leanne hesitated for a second, but something about the woman made her consider Leon's feelings a bit more as she nodded "Yes that is something that is very important to Leon," she said.

Himari seems mildly surprised. "You are not a natural female? How odd. I have never had the chance to meet a young man who was also a Magical Girl. This must be difficult for you. Well, not to worry, returning to your original form is quite simple. Most times after a stressful battle, one has no energy remaining and the transformation will end on its own. Other times, however, while you may be unable to continue a battle or have chosen to transform outside of it, you will still have enough energy reserves to maintain it; especially as the transformation itself does not take so much energy to maintain." Himari instructs Leanne on how to return to her "true" self by relaxing her mind and body completely and simply... letting go. The process is nearly identical to the one used to enter her magical form, just without the mystical phrase.

Leanne listened intently making sure to commit the method to memory but felt the need to correct Himari on something "Leon is a natural male, but I'm the personality of his magical spirit so I'm more of a natural female. We are separate people somewhat, but it has been hard on him. So it's good that we'll be able to go back as he wishes," she said with a bit of a melancholy smile at the idea of being out less "Maybe it would be better if you met him in person, Though it was nice meeting you Lady Himari" she said smiling trying to relax her mind and body completely and let go.

Himari watches as Leanne vanishes in the growing light and Leon is returned to the forefront. He is exactly as he was in the tunnels before his transformation, only refreshed. Wounds healed, dirt and grime gone, etc. She favors Leon with a polite curtsy when he becomes aware of his surroundings again.
"Greetings, young man. You must be 'Leon'. I hope being a magical girl hasn't been too stressful for you." She offers him a warm smile again.

Leon smiled getting the same feeling that Leanne had as he returned her courtesy with a bow "Hello Lady Himari, Yes I am Leon and it's been an 'interesting' experience so far to put it lightly. Our biggest trouble was the inability to turn back without exhaustion and you've solved that for us so you have my greatest thanks." He said before raising again. Noticing a bound Shinobi near the door that he'd missed earlier while entranced by Himari's aura, he asked "Excuse me, but may I ask what happened to Sir Shinobi?"

Himari giggles as if she were a small child. "He entered a lady's room without permission, so I had to punish him. Do not worry, he shall bounce back soon enough." She continues to hold that soft, warm smile. It's so disarming, so enchanting that one cannot help but to feel relaxed around her. "Your friend Brooke is such a strange young lady. Why, I've never met a young woman from humble beginnings that would rather wear her same old ratty clothes rather than a beautiful dress gifted to her."

In most cases, Leon might be a bit alarmed by the nonchalant attitude Himari gave to tying a person up, but he was still thoroughly disarmed by the general feeling about Himari, when she talked about Brooke, Leon smiled a bit "Brooke is a different sort of young woman, I'm sure she appreciated the dress in her own way, but she also has a more practical mind, a more function over form ideal. Though I will say that the outfit, while not finery, still has a charm that Brooke can bring out of it." he said
