[Well, he was going to answer, but after that last part...]
Mitsuki-san! W-Why is that the first conclusion you're jumping to?!
[It's not like the shade of scarlet he instantly turns says anything about the situation! Time to rapidly swerve away from this topic.]
U-Um, rather than hurt, my pain tolerance was higher... and I sought out affection more than I usually would. That's why I've become a little more comfortable with it over time.
[It's the truth, but he's hiding the more scandalous details.]
People under the red moon became aggressive and territorial over others, or even violent under certain circumstances. And the final group under the blue moon were indulgent, mischievous, and able to draw in everyone around them effortlessly. Your whole personality could be swayed, so I'm grateful that you weren't subjected to it.
Well, he didn't it, but Sougo's reaction is confirmation enough.]
It seems reasonable! You were somewhere you needed to be affectionate, so wouldn't the first choice be with someone you know?! Plus you wouldn't be so embarrassed if it was just something like holding hands!
[...Well, okay, maybe he would be, but Mitsuki has more faith in Sougo than that.
He frowns at the description of the moof effects, though, before huffing.]
It seems like people's personalities are swayed by these gems, so I don't know if I won't be subjected to something like that for long.
[Give him just a moment to put his head in his hands and try to come to a split second decision. He said he'd be honest, and it's not like he can't feel the heat blooming over his cheeks, so it's probably best to just... quietly reveal a little bit.]
Mitsuki-san. Please, please don't make any serious conclusions based on this, but... manna was vital to survive, and Tsunashi-san was kind enough to worry about me, and with the influence of the moons in addition to that-- [DEEP BREATHS] ...We did more than hold hands.
[But he's not saying ANY more than that. It doesn't mean they went all the way! Maybe they just hugged! And made out. With their clothes off. Many times. That's it.
Leave him here to perish. But it's high time to be an adult and stop fretting... he's panicked over it enough. And this is Mitsuki, after all.]
That aside... I can't say that I understand much about the gems yet, but from at least the first month, the, um... side effects weren't as intense as they were on Lunatia. I'm hoping it stays that way.
[Don't make any serious conclusions, he says, looking like he's about to keel over and die on the spot because of whatever him and Ryuu got up to.
"More than hold hands". Yeah. Mitsuki's not an idiot, and the look on his face is probably enough to tell Sougo that he's definitely still believing they fucked. Which. Well.
It's not the most shocking thing in the world, really? Like, he doesn't go around assuming people are into men, generally, buuuuuuuuut...]
Right. Well, I won't ask for any more details...
[Even if he is, admittedly, morbidly curious about what Ryuu is like in bed. He knows the man is more than the image Yaotome Productions gave him, but still. He's seen Ryuu in sports club! Is it more the intense, competitive Ryuu or the soft, gentle Ryuu? He wants to know, but he doesn't want Sougo to have a heart attack.]
So... When everyone transformed, did you, too? I didn't, but we were on a ship and a lot of people did and it seemed kind of dangerous!
[The degree to which Sougo can wildly oscillate between making the firm decision to calm down and mentally making an escape route to jump headfirst out the nearest window (just in case) is honestly impressive, considering that his expression doesn't outwardly look as panicked as Mitsuki can probably tell he is.
But like. If banging one of the hottest men in Japanhis long-time fanboy crushthe man of his dreams and the abs that come with it the talented, kindhearted, wonderful Tsunashi Ryuunosuke is what tears down Sougo's perfectly crafted (????) reputation in Mitsuki's mind, then it wasn't like... not worth it.
Okay, breathe. He can at least do that much.]
I... did, yes. It wasn't terribly dangerous, but I stayed indoors just in case.
No, it didn't hurt. It was a bit difficult to move around since I had large wings like a bird or an angel, but it didn't come with any uncomfortable side effects like I'd been anticipating.
Would you like to see a picture? It's only the wings in a mirror, but...
I don't know if it was an angel, exactly, but some sort of beautiful creature with large wings.
[Taking out his phone, he scrolls through his photos before turning around a mirror selfie. His face and most of his body are cropped out, but in addition to the beautiful white wings, it isn't hard to notice that the visible skin of his arm and shoulder have a bit of a pearlescent sheen.]
They look like part of a costume, don't they? If it happens again, I'll show you in person.
[All things considered, he really isn't that embarrassed. Aside from the dilemma of needing wing holes in his shirts and minor mood swings, everything was so much less awful than Sougo had anticipated. Plus, this 100% pales in comparison to the topic preceding it.]
I can't describe it well, but it was beautiful. That's why I've been assuming that it's some sort of mythical creature with wings, but I've read somewhere that angels aren't actually supposed to be beautiful. I don't know if there's a way to find out...
I'm sure that transformations will keep happening, but there seem to be several different ones associated with each gem. Momo-san said he was a Manticore with huge horns and a scorpion tail...
[He's been trying to do his research, but it's a challenge! Brows slightly furrowed, he brings a hand to his chin.]
They seem to be more mythologically inclined. I'll see what I can find, but it's difficult to go off of just one month.
If you could choose, what would you want to transform into?
[He wants to ask about the transformation from Before, but considering how touchy Sougo’s been about Lunatia he assumes he wouldn’t get a straight answer.
He considers that question for a moment, before pumping his fist.]
Something really cool and manly! [And big!!!!!] Maybe a dragon?!

No, I haven't met anyone else who said that... Just you - and I guess Tsunashi-san, too? But...
[Time for all the questions you know are coming, Sougo!]
How were they more unpleasant? Did it hurt? Did you manage to get through okay?! I mean, you're still here, but...
[A pause. Wait. Wait, wait, wait.]
Wait, did you and Tsunashi-san...?!

At least Sougo seems to be handling this better than talks of intimacy, which really just makes him look guiltier.]
What was it like?! Did it hurt? What did you look like?
[Sorry he just has so many questions about this, Sougo.]

No, it didn't hurt. It was a bit difficult to move around since I had large wings like a bird or an angel, but it didn't come with any uncomfortable side effects like I'd been anticipating.

Yes! Let me see!

[Seems like it's too much to just be a one off, in his not-so-expert opinion.
He taps his chin, looking thoughtful. He admittedly doesn't know much about angels or anything like that, but...]
I'm sure you could probably find something about local myths and stuff! There's internet here, right?

[Because he sure isn't about to do that himself! Still, at Mitsuki's exuberant response, he can't help but laugh under his breath.]
I'm sure you would be a very cool dragon.

[He has no fear boner over TRIGGER, after all!
He's pleased by Sougo's response, preening a bit.]
I know! I'm sure you'd be pretty cool if you were a dragon, too.
no subject
[And before any of the comments that he knows have a decent change of coming in response to that...]
Once we've relaxed for a little while, I'd be happy to help you set up your room.
