Well, this was going to be quick. Everyone had more pros about this gift than cons, so Sunshine and Shadow nodded over to Dorian. Perhaps when they got the gift. All they could hope for was that he didn't pass out from the extertion of giving the power to her. Both of them had no idea how this would work but before any questions could be asked, Dorian had already started it, and explained the activation. The next thing Shadow wknew, his partner was glowing. Her blonde hair, normally golden, had lightened and brightened to a silvery color. The aura wasn't as bright as her sun power, but the radiance about it seemed...almost heavy.
Sunshine touched one of the tresses, stroking it. In her her touch, the hair was almost cold. Well, she would have expected that, opposite of her sun power being warm and all. But just touching it also made her...well...almost sleepy. This could also be the side effects of the power coming to her and working a bit to knit the details of the magic into her DNA. Was this how her great Grandma Ariana felt when she received the gift of the sun from Iridessa's flower? Tough to say, really. Dorian advised her on practicing, and she nodded, yawning and waving sleepily to the young girl Mira, whom he introduced as his daughter.
"How are you feeling?" Shadow asked after Dorian shuffled away. The silver hair was turning back to golden blonde, and seeing his partner look tuckered out put him on edge

Riku's eyes widened. Sunshine looked like a Moon Princess or something. If her hair wasn't glowing, he'd have joked that she was related to him with the silver tresses. He touched her long hair, stroking it as the magic transferred. Her hair was cold. Not ice-cold, but below room temperature, that was for sure. It also seemed to weigh his hand down, putting pins and needles in it; making it go to sleep. He supposed that was normal, as the moon watched over the time when everyone slept. Riku was very curious about the powers, but it appeared the transfer left both Dorian and Sunshine incredibly tired. Dorian was led out of the room by a very quiet little girl, and Riku waved at her. "Do you need to take a nap, Sun?" they'd probably been in there longer than they should have, anyway.

Sunshine seemed tuckered out by the time Dorian and his daughter left. And for good reason. Magic like that took a lot of energy. As Sunshine yawned, she said "Guess that's our cue to head out." She patted her friend's knee. "Next time I see you, I'll bring something, okay?" Although she had no idea what. Not much could outdo a music box, sushi, and a bouquet. Maybe she'd just have to get a little creative. Omar could probably help with that. Next to Sunshine herself, he was one of the most creative people she knew. She glanced at Shadow before asking "So...you think this whole mess is going to get sorted out? With everyone involved?" Sunshine and Dorian seemed on their way to healing up, but what about Anna? Had she gotten hurt too? What did Dorian know about her? And was Shadow allowed to say?

"How about we talk about it down at Nevermore or at one of our places," Shadow suggested. He wanted to get Yang filled on everything that happened. Riku had been the only one brave enough to touch Sunshine's hair while in "moonlight", and saw that the effects could be sleepiness. Sunshine was in good hands. This was probably all the better reason he was deciding to let Sunshine go; Shadow saw the care he was giving his partner was genuine and true. That and it would prevent triggering another trauma attack from Sunshine, and given her powers upgrade, he didn't want to be in the receiving end.
As Shadow and Yang made the cue to leave, Sunshine looked up at her boyfriend. He asked if she needed a nap. She hesitated. The last tiem she was asleep, she was having a nightmare. Heck, they had started arriving after she just woke up from one. What would be dreaming up next? That her father had teamed up with Gothel to try and win her back? Thrax coming at her? The guy who killed the mermaid victim going after her? People going after her hair now that it had gotten the celestial upgrade? She reached her hand up to the one that had been touching her hair. "...Stay?" she asked. "I don't want to have another nightmare..."

Riku smiled at her. He made room for himself on the bed and laid down beside her. He wrapped his arms around her. "If you have a nightmare again, I'll hold you through it" he soothed gently. He kissed her cheek, then gave a little peck on her lips and let her snuggle into him. This was nice. It would be nicer if it wasn't because of a vicious attack and wasn't in the hospital, but he'd take what he could get. It was nice all the same.

"Nevermore sounds as good a place as any," Yang said. Adrien's personal chefs were good and all, but nothing could be Nevermore's beignets. And it sounded like she might need a couple while Shadow told her what was going on. Judging by how grim he was, it sounded like it was serious. Then again, Shadow was usually grim, but Yang could tell the difference between his usual serious demeanor and his mannerisms when some serious shit was going down. He didn't seem too bothered about Riku and Sunshine getting all snugly though. Did he approve of Riku now? Yang wanted to know, but now probably wasn't the appropriate time to ask. Maybe that was something else he could fill her in on at the bakery. She sighed as she ran a hand through her hair. It seemed like things never stopped in this city. Just one thing happened another, and it seemed like new people were getting hurt all the time. Yang wished she could do something about it, but she had no idea what. She knew support to victims like Sunshine were important, but she wished she could do more. Her mind was still pondering the issue as she and Shadow left the room.

The bed squeaked in protest as Riku settled next to her. She inhaled and exhaled, taking in the comforting smell of his scent, a scent that reminded her of comfort in the dark, inhale her nostrils. Immediately, whatever nerves and chills she had from the pumping AC came down as Sunshine became wrapped by his well-toned, muscular arms. She felt his lips touch her twice, once on the cheek and the second on his lips. One last inhale and the exhaustion got to her. Her eyelids fluttered closed as her hand came to graze the edge of his collarbone. That was the last she felt before she nodded off. ((end thread))
