Fear
They landed rain drenched on Daisuke's balcony, folding their wings but not bothering to banish them now that the secret was out in this house. A jolt of fear slammed into him when, as Daisuke turned to face him, his partner's bi-colored eyes resembled Dark's when he was angry or had been using significant magic: at those times Dark's pupils had become the same cat-slit as Krad's eyes were always. Now Daisuke's pupils were cat-slit. 'What's wrong?' Satoshi sent the image he had seen over the link, and gave Daisuke a moment to realize that was his own eyes. Bewilderment, realization, surprise' and then 'I guess I know why Riku gave me that look now.'
'Look?' Satoshi questioned. Daisuke nodded, 'I only visited her once after lightning dodging, and she gave me a look that made me never do that again. I thought that probably a bit more inhumanity than she was comfortable with showed, but I hadn't considered that we had another physical change.'
'We?' Satoshi asked. A moment later what he looked like to Daisuke flashed into his own mind, and his eyes were as catlike as Daisuke's own. He was both shocked and not at the same time; on the one hand if Daisuke's eyes were currently catlike due to the magic at the forefront of his being, then logically the same should be happening with his own. On the other hand he still equated slit pupils to Krad and the gold flecks in amongst the blue suddenly seemed more prominent than before, though they hadn't actually changed any.
Reaction
While the reaction of the Niwa to finding out that Daisuke is changed was surprisingly accepting, their reaction when Towa blurted out that we had both changed was different. Massive freak-out from Daiki, calmness from Kosuke, Emiko being an overprotective lunatic Niwa mother, and rebellious Daisuke telling the lot of them that he and I are friends, that even if I wanted to hurt him he has just as much magic as I do so he can look after himself, and that if they didn't like us being friends they would just have to cope, and that we had both agreed continuing the feud at this point was just stupid. He showed me the memory later too, and I had trouble not laughing at parts of it.
