She'd been asleep when it happened, which was fairly normal for her when these strange curses affected everyone, but Ammy was taking it with her usual grace. Which meant that she really couldn't seem to care less. Her robes had been changed to a pair of hakama and a cloak, and the sun god that strolled down the hall with a sleepy expression was

What did seem to get some expression of emotion out of him was the fact that he had become a she.
Again.
"A bad dream," she murmured, hugging the too-big coat closer to her body, "this is all that it -- ah?" A voice a few feet ahead caught Ite's attention, caused her to look up and catch a glimpse of a somewhat familiar form. Taller, slightly bigger, and with what sounded like a deeper voice but there was no way to deny that overwhelming sense of peace and contentment.
"Mother?"

"If we are going to keep finding each other, I suppose it is not so bad. Maybe we should find a better place to find each other, though." At least there was a hint of amusement in the god's voice when he said it.

"Mm. You're right." At least the sound of amusement was able to lighten the mood a bit. She tried to smile a bit. Just a small one that tugged up the corners of the lips.

It wouldn't be too much of a surprise to run into him again.

And who does not enjoy a hug by their own parent?
Of course the cheek rubbing was a little embarrassing and this hug was just a little tighter and stronger than what was usual but at least it wasn't too squishy or bone-breaking to say the least. And Ite gave another light nod as she buried her face into her scarf and then against her mother-father's shoulder; her arms raising slightly, hesitantly, with fingers twitching, before they wrap around the taller and male Amaterasu's torso in some slight attempt to return the hug.

The return hug made Ammy grumble in a pleased sort of way deep in his chest. This was nice, and the sun god missed the little things like this. Being closer to the younger brush gods made him feel much more at ease.
