Jim, feeling awkward being so tall and well endowed, still had not completely gained the perfect balance yet. The act of getting up out of a chair involved more balance than a small boy bouncing up from sitting. Everything needed a little thought. He managed to make it a door after a little longer than it should have taken and opened it. He smiled, though even that felt strange on this lovely woman's face instead of his own and he was feeling awkward again.

"Hi Yuki."

Yuki noted all the physical changes in James Hawking, as well as his physical disorders, in seconds. However, to her, such things were merely distortions -- distortions which were to be expected in the space they currently were located inside of. James Hawking remained the same as ever in mentality, though the physical variations had caused him some trauma on that level as well. The petite girl was firmly aware of all this these factors, and so glanced up at James Hawking's current face expressionlessly before giving one of her extremely slight nods.

She awaited being permitted entrance, all the same, as that was the accepted pattern of human civilization.

Jim moved aside and allowed her in, going to what he supposed was a living room to sit and rest, still feeling a little dizzy from the sickness that morning. He put a hand to his head, feeling pretty miserable. He usually was a happy person, but he just felt violated by the whole ordeal.

Yuki wandered into the apartment with her usual perfect stride -- a type of almost-elegance that followed her in whatever she did. Once inside, she lightly removed her shoes, as was expected to a woman of the "heritage" she supposedly had and looked back at James Hawking, her eyes expressionless as ever. Clearly, waiting to see if his body was capable of extended movement without a collapse due to the trauma and an apparent lack of balance.
