The door to the stairwell on the first floor apparently opened itself, and out stepped the foxly pair. One pair of their tails were coiled together, while the rest of Yumeiko's swayed gently. They were chatting a bit about what kind of food they had a taste for, but as Yumeiko saw the sight of Velvet, crouched and ill, came into view, she exchanged a concerned glance with Miyuki before she began to step forward.
The younger of the two approached Velvet, concerned. She reached out, but stopped a few steps short. She could feel a powerful, ancient curse. Directly in front of her. This young woman?
“You're..” she could not tell where the curse ended and the woman began. Yumeiko’s eyed widened and she gasped, a hand rising to cover her mouth as she backed away quickly. She couldn't dispel it without disrupting her entire being and killing her. Besides, she wasn't sure she could if she tried. Maybe seal it, but this seemingly young lady was probably a resident of this building, so that wouldn't do, either.
“Miyuki. I shouldn't touch her.” She spun on her heel to look at her companion, a soft scowl maring her expression.
“I shouldn't be near her. I-, ah..” this had never happened before, she wanted to help but her help would be anathema,
“I'll go to the lobby for five minutes.” She turned back to Velvet, backing away further before offering a bow,
“I'm sorry, miss.” She gave Miyuki a soft kiss on the cheek, though she had to stand on her toes to do so, and then jogged off down the hallway.
Wow! It was cold in the lobby! She wished she'd worn pants, if it was going to be like this. But, wait, the hallway hadn't been like this. As well, she could feel- aaah. That's why the lobby was particularly cold. There was a spirit in this room. She closed her eyes and felt for the presence, and her attention slowly closed in on Suzy. Her eyes opened and there was the spirit. A young lady, doing her best not to bump into anyone. The spirit fox approached.
“Oh, hello. I didn't realize we have spirit neighbors, as well. Nice to meet you, I'm Yumeiko.” The demi-human smiled and waved, her five golden fox tails wagging slowly behind her. This was a welcome distraction to the mess she left Miyuki with. She'd have to make it up to her...
