Saoirse let out a yawn, closing her eyes once more after wiggling enough so that she forced her way under his arm. It was surprisingly comfortable, sitting here with him like this. Surprising because, well, he was a stranger, and Saoirse didn't usually allow people to get this close to her. Maybe it was because he was so comically clumsy that she found herself being so comfortable with him so quickly. Or the fact that he chose to disclose something personal to her despite only knowing her for ten minutes.
Still, despite the fact that she was enjoying being out here, her fur was starting to allow the chill to seep through. It wasn't enough to drive her inside just yet though. She opened one eye to see the smile back on his face and felt satisfied. The smile was definitely a preferred look. She let out a sigh, closing her eyes and moving just a bit closer to him, unsure whether or not he could actually feel her (how did ghosts work exactly? She'd have to look that up) or if he was actually exuding warmth. He'd mentioned ghosts were affected by extreme temperatures, did that mean he couldn't feel the warmth or cold at all? She would have to remember to ask him that once she was back in her human form.
A cold wind blew past them, causing Saoirse to shiver and immediately let out a sneeze. The combined action blew up a bit of the snow, getting onto her nose which made her sneeze again and let out a low growl at the ridiculousness of it all.

Jungshin jumped a bit at the initial sneeze, letting out a sheepish laugh. "I guess it's getting a bit cold?" He asked her. He ruffled his hair, causing it to fall on his head even fluffier than before. "Shall we go back in?" He asked her, sitting up fully and grabbing her bag for her. A large part of him really hoped she'd become his friend. That he hadn't just told a stranger important parts of himself just for her to abandon him once back inside the school.
Without waiting for a notion of an answer, he stood up, draping the bag over his shoulder. "I don't want to be the cause for you getting sick or something. But maybe... maybe we can do this again?" He asked hesitantly. A part of him was screaming to ask if next time could be a date, but he'd wait until they at least knew each other for 48 hours.

Saoirse let out a long whine when Jungshin moved, a bit annoyed that he ruined her comfortable position. But going back into the warmth, even if it was still full of students, sounded better than becoming a fox popsicle. She stood after a moment longer of being lazy, shaking the snow off of her.
She rolled her eyes at the mentioning of her getting sick, blowing air out of her nose. Being out in the cold for this short amount of time wouldn't make her sick. At his question she bobbed her head a bit, bumping the back of his hand lightly. She didn't have many friends (0 to be exact) and he was actually pleasant to be around.
Since she was already outside, Saoirse took the opportunity to stretch her fox's legs, running small circles around Jungshin as they moved back towards the school. Being in her fox form definitely made Saoirse a lot more carefree and energetic than she normally was, not to say she wasn't energetic usually. But that was mostly a restless sort of energy that came from her fox being contained for too long. She felt more free this way.
After a few laps she slowed to a walk beside Jungshin, the school coming into view. She was already dreading the transformation back into her human form.

Jungshin sauntered behind her, letting her get out her energy before they went back inside. He had urges like that sometimes, to just run around, and he figured it was due to him still being a werewolf, just a dead werewolf, which prohibited him from transforming, but at least he couldn't feel the pain anymore. At her nudge, something in him did another flip, and a soft, slight smile seemed stuck on his face afterwards.
She was a good person, he could tell. Something about her just made him want to trust her immediately, and he'd never felt like that with any of the other students. Maybe it was the fact that she didn't laugh at his clumsiness, or his inability to properly and consistently use his powers. Or the fact that she was pretty and clearly had a good heart, even if she was a bit stand-offish at first. Or maybe because they both had claustrophobia, and he had found someone willing to brave the frigid cold to keep him company outside. He felt as if he got to the door all too soon, "Shall we go in?"

Saoirse let out a low groan, grabbing her bag from him and walking a few feet away. The transformation back was a bit quicker, but not any less painful, and she found herself letting out a string of curses as her body ached, bones protesting as she dug into her bag for her clothes and tugged them onto her body.
She straightened once putting her shoes on, not once pausing to consider her being completely nude in front of this stranger was probably not normal for him. After all he'd only shifted once. She was used to shifting in front of the other were's, and were's weren't afforded the luxury of modesty.
The hand not gripping her bag went to her shoulder, wincing at the dull ache there. The cold was very quickly seeping into her bones and she shivered. "Yeah let's go inside. It's actually freezing out here." She said, grabbing the door and yanking it open, quickly stepping inside. She lingered at the entrance a bit, trying to think of somewhere else the two of them could go. It was surprising that she didn't want to be out of his company just yet, and she chewed on her bottom lip, unaware that her brows had furrowed into a frown.

Jungshin tensed and turned away after she transformed back. That was one of many reasons he was never fully comfortable in the werewolf room; they were far too prone to being nude. He let out a breath, hoping to calm himself down. He opened the door, letting her in first before following close behind her, shutting the doors. He looked to her and his face unintentionally mimicked her own, "Is something wrong?"

Saoirse blinked at the question, her hands moving up and down her arms as she tried to bring warmth back to them. "Nothing's wrong..." She started, trailing off. How could she say 'I really don't want to leave your company because I actually like being around you and I might start liking you even though I've only known you for an hour' without seeming crazy?
She looked up at him, chewing on her bottom lip again and hating how hesitant she was being right now. She was never like this, it was unsettling. "I..." Saoirse trailed off again, letting out a short annoyed huff. Why was it so difficult for her to say what she wanted? It wasn't as if she were confessing her love to him! Although the thought only served to make her face heat up, and she found she was glad her complexion was such that it wouldn't show on her cheeks.
Finally Saoirse managed to say, "I kinda really like spending time with you and I was trying to figure out how to spend more and ask you if you wanted to stay with me a while without sounding like a complete psycho."

Jungshin was taken aback by her honesty. He felt like he was blushing again. But if his heart wasn't beating that meant no blood was pumping and therefore he couldn't possibly blush. But he really felt like he was. He ruffled his hair again, using it to his his face, even though by theory he couldn't possibly blush. "U-uhm.. I don't think you sound like a psycho, asking that." He paused, giving her a smile, "I have a secret spot. This one isn't with penguins though." He said, not waiting for her to respond before pulling her down a hallway. He led her to a door, the sign was worn, but said broom closet. He opened to reveal it had long been abandoned, and after watching it for a while, it seemed no one knew the door was actually unlocked, so Jungshin had claimed it as his own. It wasn't as roomy as it could be, but it had a glow of homely to make up for it's modesty. White Christmas lights were strung around the walls to provide light, and there were cushions and blankets in one corner. The walls had a sunset scene (somewhat novice-ly) painted on one of the walls.
"It doesn't really help with claustrophobia, admittedly, but sometimes I really just want to be alone, and it's a diffrent kind of want to be alone than so when I found an abandoned broom closet, I took it for myself." He explained to her.

Saoirse followed him quietly, sure that the heat accumulating in her face actually showing up now, and glad that he wasn't looking at her. The heat only intensified when she saw where exactly he'd led her. Even if the academy was full of supernaturals, they were still majority teenagers and they still did teenager things. Spin the Bottle and 7 Minutes in Heaven were still very much things here, and though Saoirse herself never participated she was well aware of what they were.
What the hell am I thinking? She was sure that was most definitely not the case, and mentally berated her mind for even going there.
"It looks cozy." She murmured once they stepped inside, not trusting her voice to talk any louder than that. She moved toward the cushions in the corner, slipping past him and lowering herself into the spot, waiting for him to sit as well. "Good thing I don't have to shift in here, I wouldn't fit." She commented, trying to get her mind from the weird spiral it'd taken.

Jungshin saw the look that crossed her face, and he looked down, waiting to see if she was even interested in hanging out in such a small space. Eventually, she went in on her own, and he followed behind her. He shut the door, but quickly moved far enough away from the door she could easily leave if she wanted. "It's quiet." He responded simply. He curled his legs up to his chest, his arms wrapped around them, trying to think of what else to say. He chuckled a bit at her comment. "As far as broom closets go, this one's pretty big, but I'm pretty sure you're very correct."

Quiet was good. Saoirse preferred the quiet over being in crowds of people, or just people in general. She gazed at Jungshin curiously, unaware that she was probably staring. Despite her innate dislike for being around people, for some reason she didn't feel the same around him. "I don't particularly like small spaces." She confessed quietly, though she'd already told him that much. "Honestly, I don't even know where the fear came from. I've just always hated it I guess."
She smiled a bit, shifting her eyes to the ground in front of her. "That's why I shift into my fox so often and need to be outside. Somehow, no matter how big a room is, it always seem so much smaller and so much more suffocating than it really is." She straightened her legs out, moving her arms behind her and leaning back on them. "Being here with you is nice though. It doesn't seem that small."

Jungshin looked away. He wished he could forget why he got claustrophobia. Most people didn't see their coffin before actually dying though. "Sometimes it gets stuffy. I had needed a place to be alone, but one day after finding it, when I was having a..." He could bring himself to say panic attack for whatever reason, "... a really hard day, I ran here, but it didn't help." He rested his head on his knees, rocking a bit to a soundless beat. "When I was okay again, I found the paints and painted an outdoors scene." He looked behind him to the sunset, letting out a sheepish smile accompanied with a laugh, "It's not as realistic as I was hoping it would be, but it does help sometimes. Especially on days where there's a strong blizzard, or the wind chill is too high, and students can't go outside.

"You painted this?" Saoirse moved onto all force, crawling forward a bit and reaching out to brush her fingers against the wall. "This is good." She turned to smile a bit at him. "I mean not the best but it's way better than anything I could try to paint." She rested her back against the wall, looking from the wall to him again. "It's good, that you found this room though. I haven't really found anywhere I can go to escape the masses. The were room is always too full and the library is gonna be full until classes start back up, and even then I'll have to deal with people every day." She paused. "Would you mind...if I came here every once in a while...?" With you was what she wanted to add, but she faltered, letting her sentence end where it did.

Jungshin nodded his head, "I liked drawing a lot..." He began, but his voice faded before saying 'when I was alive.' He hadn't been able to grab anything when he was leaving his home, so he was still getting his art supply collection back to it's former glory. He probably wouldn't have known how to grab his stuff anyway. He played with his fingernails, looking down. He suddenly felt self-conscious about what he'd already told her, about her seeing him with his facade down. He'd never talked this much about his life before, or even gotten close to talking about the days and weeks leading up to his death with anyone else. He still felt she was trustworthy, though he had no real, solid proof of that fact. "Thanks." He finally said in response to her compliment on the painting. He then shook his head, "I don't mind. Just let me know in advance cause sometimes I lock it to make sure no one else finds it."

Saoirse sort of wished she were in her fox form again, the sudden desire to sit close to him very strong. It would have been a lot more acceptable if she were a fox. Instead she slowly moved so she was sitting closer to him, laying her head on his shoulder. She felt as if she needed a nap, but wanted to stay in here with him. "Is this okay?" She asked, tilting her head a bit to look up at him.
