"It's more than a 'quirk'. It's not something I want just 'out' there. What people think is one thing, that's fine... but there's a genuine danger about this for me."
Rei looks away as Yue pops in.
"And she doesn't seem like someone who can keep a secret."
She stays looking away as Yue invades her personal space again.
"I was done, Yue. I did some swimming, you beat me pretty quickly... I got finished. And then nothing else happened."

Hitomi only hmmms at Rei. "Maybe you should start trusting a little bit? Just a thought." She then rolls over and goes back to sleep for a few more hours.

Yue hugs Rei harder and picks her up. "Well then can we talk about our ghosty powers?" Yue whispers into Rei's ear.

"Well I just met everyone here in a nation I'm new to. I just can't do it immediately...I was hoping to-"
Rei sees her turn back over. Did she just mess things up with Hitomi now? Damnit! And then Yue whispers in her ear, and how the hell did she figure out she has ghosty powers already?
"No! I mean there's nothing! You just fell in the pool really fast and I left. That's all!"
Rei burrito's up in the blanket in her bed with a 'hmph!'

Hitomi is lightly snoring now. Seems she must have gone back to sleep because Rei has someone else to talk to now.

"Oh come on! I didn't think I'd find another person with Ghosty powers besides myself! How did you do that...um...that there but not there thing where you can go through stuff? I haven't figured that one out yet."

The 'our' powers skipped her the first time, but the second time did not. Rei sits back up. She lowers her own voice to match.
"I... what? 'You' are like me? How? How did you get them?"

Yue feels a bit conflicted. Technically she was free to talk about the Witch since the curse had run it's course, but she still wanted to try and befriend her so it probably wasn't a good idea to spread that knowledge around without her permission. "Well, the details are kind of secret and it's not my secret to tell, but what I can tell you is that it involves a Ghosty death curse that I managed to survive thanks to the Darky power I used to have."

"It... it doesn't sound like you and I are the same then..."
She just shakes her head.
"Yes, I have powers, but I'm not ready to talk about why, and you can't go spreading it around, got it? Now just go back to the pool, go back to having fun."

"Nah, I'm done for the day. Next time, let's invite Sara and Sabine! You can even invite your friend over there if you want!" Yue says, motioning at Hitomi.

"That won't really work. She sleeps during the day, and she can't see, Yue."
Doesn't Yue get that Rei doesn't want to talk to her now after all of that?

Yue, being Yue, doesn't get the hint. "Huh...Guess we'll either have to do it really early or really late then...Anyways, it doesn't matter if we're not exactly the same. We're still a group of ghosty girls!" Yue says, somehow managing to shout and whisper at the same time.

"Yue, please, stop bringing it up. Nobody can know about this. Go back to your branch, please."

"Oh, so it's a secret? Don't worry, me, Brooke, and Leon will be sure to keep it safe. I'm gonna go tell them not to talk about what they saw." Yue says, running back to the Water Branch to talk to the others.

No sooner has Yue disappeared than a new person pops up. Literally. She pops up from underneath the bed (when the heck did she get under there?!). It's Yue's sibling, Nue. She bows politely to Rei and quietly apologizes for her sister's behavior. She will ensure that Rei's secret (whatever it is) is kept. She claims to not know the secret, but if that were the case, how could she know when to silence Yue? Hm. Questions for later.

Rei rubs the bridge of her temple as Nue pops up and obviously knows about her powers if she was under the bed and knows to stop Yue when she goes to spill the beans. She just buries her face in her hands.
"Fine, yeah sure. It's all a lost cause anyway. Shit. Was not supposed to let that out. My mom made me promise that..."
She flops back in the bed. She looks over at Nue. Well, this is the chance to ask about the 'confusing feelings' Leanne had in regards to Nue.
"So... moving on from my issues... whats the deal with you and Leanne?"

"She defeated me in battle, and thus I belong to her. Her wish is for us to 'feel out' our relationship. Thus, our 'deal' is best described as 'very good acquaintances, seeking to become friends'. Is this answer satisfactory?" Nue responds in her usual deadpan.

"You belong to her?"
Rei raises an eyebrow and a smirk crosses her face. Its certainly putting her 'reveal' to the back of her mind.
"Ooooh. Kinky. I like it."
Her smirk crawls across her face even more when Nue reads the situation, and what she heard from Leanne seems a little different. She shifts to her belly one the bed, kicking her legs up playfully, shifting from pouty to 'ooh fun girl talk' mode.
"From what I heard from Leanne herself, it seemed like she was considering it more than that."

Nue tilts her head ever so slightly. "It is possible I misunderstood her intentions when she requested to 'take things slow'. In which case, our 'deal' can probably be upgraded to 'dating'. If she wishes to add more individuals to our 'deal', then that is her prerogative. I shall remain loyal to her until such time as she requests that I leave her." She pauses a moment, considering her next words. "However, I believe that event is extremely unlikely to occur." The entire time, not only has Nue's expression not changed, there has not been even the slightest alteration in her monotonous tone. It's not that she sounds boring and lifeless, just that there is no real emotion behind her words.

More individuals, huh? HMMMM.
Rei keeps that on the backburner for now, wanting to keep down this rabbit hole.
"Well when 'I' spoke to her on the matter, it seemed to feel like she was worried about how 'you' would feel if she dated someone else. Now, by your own admission you would be fine with it... but."
She scoots closer to Nue.
"Call me a romantic but if someone is worrying about your feelings that way... well that's a sign they like you. But you gotta do some pushing yourself."
She looks off.
"From what I've seen of Leanne, she's sweet. Maybe too sweet. At least for 'owning' someone. You've given her power she doesn't understand or appreciate yet. Thats why you gotta make her see. Listen in on her, see when she needs something. And when she does, you can swoop in all Nue style like you do, and offer yourself. And she will think it was her idea all along, and she gets just that first taste of control over you."
Rei sits back up.
"A taste is all she needs."
