[It's honestly kind of surreal to see a pout like that on his own face... but Minato musters up the best smile he can, a rueful expression despite himself, taking her hand quietly. He can feel her own nervousness in his body, which ironically helps him calm down a little. They're in this together, right?]

Sorry... I just don't want to mess anything up.

[He doesn't... want to do anything weird while he's in Shiho's body!! Also, Shiho's body is important.]

It's going to be fine, though. It's... both of us, you know? We can handle this.

[good_ideas]

[All she can do is make a very educated guess at his feelings right now but she recognizes that smile even if it's on her face. With a sigh, she squeezes the hand she's holding, thinking as hard as she can that everyone would be alright. It had to be.]

You won't. I swapped with you because I trust you. Just.... I guess it's a little embarrassing to be stuck like this for so long. But I know we can handle this. Somehow. We'll think of something. I just... wish it wasn't so weird. Even holding my own hand feels kind of weird.

[She does trust him, Minato knows that. Shiho wouldn't do this with someone she didn't trust--and that's something to treasure. Quietly, Minato feels his ruffled feathers grow soothed as he reads her thoughts, her certainty that everything will be alright.]

... Yeah. I trust you too. It's... fine. It might be a bit weird, but we shouldn't let this get to us and stop it from letting us have a good time together.

Right?

[good_ideas]

[....she imagines cuddling with herself and it's just......... so weird.]

R-Right. I guess we could... make food. [And she's also not sure if she wants to deal with going home like this. Kyrie would tease her... Maybe she could go over to Kaoru's house?? Or maybe borrow Minato's couch??]

[messianic]

[They really didn't think this through.]

Ah... yeah, we could. Food, or... we could... [UHHH.]

... Go for a walk...?

[Their options are so limited right now....]

[good_ideas]

[She has so many regrets... Sighing, shoulders drooping, she gives the hand she's holding a squeeze.]

...Or food and then a walk? [She tries on a little smile before pushing herself up and off the chair.]

[messianic]

[He feels that... but, well.

They have to do their best, right? Slowly, Minato stands, brushing off Shiho's clothes gently before he offers her a small smile.]

We're living life on the edge now...

... Hey, are you going to be okay? I know Kyrie-san can kind of be...Kyrie-san about things like this.

[good_ideas]

[Shiho's fingers come up to brush her hair back from her face before she remembers that this is Minato's body. The moment he smiles at her, she can't help but smile back reflexively. They'll do their best, she's already decided on that much.]

I'll be fine. I'm stronger than I look, you know? [Though she does realize that she looks like him right now. Laughing a little, she holds a hand out for Minato to take with a wink.]

I'm strong enough to handle him no matter what and he'll be shaking in his boots by the time I'm done. [So do your worst, Kyrie!!]

[messianic]

[He takes her hand (his own hand...?) with an amused snort, admitting softly:]

I think I'd like to see that, honestly... I can't even imagine.

[Minato is... not a very fierce person, so it will probably be the only time in the world that he looks and acts that fierce and intense--all because it's actually Shiho.]

[good_ideas]

[He can probably see as well as feel that smile of hers with her psychometry.]

I'll come and tell you all about it. [If Kyrie needs to be teased, that is.]

[messianic]

[Hehhh...]

Good. Sometimes, I think Kyrie-san deserves a bit of a shock, you know?

[good_ideas]

Exactly. We can't let him become complacent in his old age. [If Kyrie hears that, he'd probably have something snarky to say. But too bad he's not here!]

[messianic]

[A snort.]

Shiho... I think you get away with saying things about Kyrie-san that the rest of us mortals could never hope to.

[good_ideas]

Well, someone has to, right? I'll make everyone's dreams of seeing him taken down a notch come true.

[Except that while she's mean to him she's also kind of worried about him and dotes on him.

In her own mean way.]
