That may ultimately defuse this. The notion of a half naked flower is ridiculous to us. Castela has already shown she doesn’t think of it that way. Bruce Banner can pull off this look. She can’t.
okay Shawna, we need to have a talk about *personal space.*
Also, here’s one thing that I admit I don’t get: How *does* one suddenly get an embarrassingly obvious crush from just seeing a boy naked? Does it have something to do with when Hiroshi was just a butterfly or am I missing something entirely?
I suspect it’s a version of the psychological principle of “imprinting”. Sorta like baby ducks… once they’re hatched, they imprint on the first adult individual they see and from that point on, “That’s Mama!” and start following (even if “Mama” is a human or a dog).
Castela is clearly going through her version of puberty, with hormones running wild… she’s “primed” for attachment, rather to her dismay. The emotional shock of ending up in an accidental tangle with a naked Hiroshi may have been enough of a trigger to cause a sense of importance and attachment to occur… and the same may have been true for Hiroshi.
I suspect he has demonstrated to be a good match at some emotional/metaphysical/hormonal/pheromonal level- he survived being a butterfly for an entire YEAR around miss mayhem after all, and he CHOSE to be there. Besides, she has flowers that need some serious work and he has proven to have the tool(s) she needs to doa proper job.
What modern woman doesn’t want a yard boy to take care of the pruning?
Jesus, Shawna, take a hint already. Guy’s body language is clearly wanting you to back off and respect his personal space.
For someone who was angry on Hiroshi’s behalf over how some girl tried to force him to be with her, she’s not exactly being respectful of his wishes either.
At a basic level, Cas is literally a pile of vines coiled in a humanoid shape. See those spirals on her cheeks? That’s not a blush, those are the seams starting to show.
That’s true, isn’t it? Very few people have seen Castela’s canyon railgun impression, because she doesn’t want her friends to be terrified of her. Hiroshi, however, as a butterfly, has seen her play in the canyon extensively. He’d be VERY aware of what she can do.
Shawna, on the other hand, might not grasp how dangerous a game she’s playing.
We should keep that in mind going forward.
Aw, c’mon, Castela. You liked Hiroshi just fine when he was Reginald the Butterfly.
STINKWEED SMASH!!!
Castela,
Castela is enabling beast mode.
Let’s hope she doesn’t switch to god mode and start smiting.
Easy, girl. No overkill. No kill, either.
Woah! She bulked up till she ripped her shirt.
Oh, crap, are we on the roof? There’s no hope for you Shawna. Consign your soul to heaven; your ass belongs to Pickle.
It’d be appropriate if she broke out in thorns instead of flowers.
Castela may need some sage sisterly advice.
Or at least, some swift seamstressing.
That may ultimately defuse this. The notion of a half naked flower is ridiculous to us. Castela has already shown she doesn’t think of it that way. Bruce Banner can pull off this look. She can’t.
Given the raw power and emotion involved, I think either Atsali or Dette needs to step in. The wardrobe repair can wait.
Stinkweed – the densest material not yet known to man…
Now that is a good observation.
“If she was any more dense, she’d have her own gravitational field.”

That describes most teenagers, and many adults (I do include myself in that. Introspection isn’t a cure for density, just a treatment).
Rrrrgh…

I wouldn’t say that it was shock for Hiroshi. He goes over that while he was sans clothing. http://wapsisquare.com/comic/your-butterfly/

yea like every single thing you said was a double entendre.
Best kind.

So! it’s not just he hair. Castela seems to be a bit of a Polymorph [Most Paras are.] It’s a shame her uniform blouse isn’t holding up so well.
At a basic level, Cas is literally a pile of vines coiled in a humanoid shape. See those spirals on her cheeks? That’s not a blush, those are the seams starting to show.
It’s the kudzu genes that the researchers threw into the mix, to augment her blackthorn ancestry.
So much for self control…
Impressive Lats
A little bit of the Incredible Hulk in her. It’s not easy being green with envy.
Take a deep breath and a bit sunshine. When you are full, everything is less annoying.
is, is her shirt ripping like the hulk?
Needs bigger sleeves or a stretchy shirt.
Hiro: “No, not talk. Run. What I need to do right now is RUN!!!”
Yeah, and find hard cover!
Don’t think that’ll help, and Hiroshi knows it.

“Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.”
She’s working up a nice “Klingon forehead” too…
“That’s my secret, Shawna. I’m always angry.”
