MoAnna took in the large order, and was thankful she would have the money to pay for such a large and .. weird order. She saw the look that the waitress was giving Umbra. It was amused, and slightly confused, but patient. She sighed and put an elbow on the table, using her hand to hold up her head while the girl listed off a five course meal for her lunch. All she ordered was a potato soup..She chuckled. She never ate much anyway.
She smiled at the waitress. She came back with the drinks, one for MoAnna, two for Umbra. She sipped at her Coke while she watched the girl still avidly looking over the menu. If her calculations were correct, Umbra would probably order more after she was done with her first plate. It took only a few minutes for MoAnna's food to be done, and just a few minutes more for Umbra's much larger order. She smiled and thanked the waitress, who answered with a small nod of her head and a 'No problem'. MoAnna picked up her spoon, and looked at the bread bowl filled with hot potato soup. It had chunks of potatoes with bacon, cheese and chives decorating the top. "Yum.."

Umbra just couldn't hold himself in when the food came. literally. he had no desire to wait for the food to go all the way through his hosts digestive tract before he go any of the benefits from it. His form appeared coming out of the girls pores almost like sweat until eventually a fully formed Umbra was sitting next to his now unconcious host.
He began to eat almost imeaditly. He didn't even look to see how MoAnna reacted to his appearance, as food seemed to disappear into his shadowy depths. pizza hot, cocoa, muffins, everything disappeared down the void that was his gullet.
Evcentually he looked up, looking around briefly at the people in the diner, whom most of which were staring mouth agape at the six foot shadow that was now apparently devouring a meal, in a slow retreating fashion he slipped back into his host, who then continued to ball up slightly, embrassed for the first time the girls cheeks turning red, he was always self concious when he left his host, he felt unsafe.

As she took the first bite of the food, her eyes closed to savor the taste. She smiled happily as she tasted the smooth and creamy taste that had the tang of the chives and bacon. She opened her eyes to ask how Umbra's food was and she actually choked on her food. She hit her chest hurriedly to dislodge the food that she had inhaled. "What the-?" She asked when confronted with a ravenous shadowy large figure in front of her.
"U..Umbra?" She asked, glimpsing the unconscious figure next to the dark figure. Her hand was still in mid air, holding a metal spoon halfway to the bowl.
*sorry its crappy..*

Umbra looked at her now back in his host body.
He avoided eye contact, and began to eat now merely nibbling at what he had previously been scarfing down his throat.
He felt that he had already ruined one of his first friendships, something incredibly traumatic for his young mind. Maybe if he just ignored it everything would go away.
He had the girl close her eyes, like it would make her disappear. He wanted to be anywhere or being doing anything besides being here right now. the tension was palpable eyes barely being able to look away from where Umbra had been, and where the girl was now seated.

"That is so..cool.." She said slowly. She reached over the table and poked the girl's cheek quickly to see if the flesh was real. She looked back and forth, studying the face intrigued. "No wonder you didnt have any fashion sense, or any interest in guys.." She said conspecutively. "Do you always leave that body to eat? Or is it just for when you have large meals?" She asked, as if the sight had not bothered her at all, but had just peaked her curiousity.
"And when you leave the body.. Are you a boy or a girl? I am guessing a boy with your reaction to my statement about makeup and guys..and your vorocious appetite." She said nodding slowly. "So did something make that body for you? Or did you take it?" She picked her fork up, her curiousity somewhat satisfied, and began once more to eat her food while waiting for an answer.

"I, uh, I-I took the body." Umbra said now feeling somewhat bad about doing so, since it had been said, and not enjoying the attention be put towards HIM, and not him in his host.
"I don't always leave, just when I'm really hungry." He replied, having the girl bite off a chunk off one of the muffins and slowly chew on it, attempting to eat as slowly as possible to kill a few more momments, and keep him from talking.
"And, I'm, I mean, I guess I'm kinda a guy when not in this body." He responded to one of her questions, biting off another chunk of muffin once again trying to silence himself.

"Alright, so that accounts for the whole, no fashion sense, thing. And how old are you when in that form? Not the host form I mean..But just yourself." She asked, tearing off a chunk of the bread bowl and stuffing it in her mouth. Not to silence herself like he was doing, but just because it was sooooo good. She took a long drink of her soda to wash it down and looked at him again. "And you took the body? Well a word of advice, dont take mine. It will last you until nightfall. If that long. All you will do is make me angry, I assure you. Besides, that girl was...is..quite pretty." She corrected herself without really knowing that she did it as she wistfully thought of what the girls initial reaction to Umbra was when he took her over. Did she fight? Was she willing? Something told her that she didnt want to know the answer.
She figured she would explain her reasoning behind him not being able to take over her body while he ate soo slowly now. " You see, I think of it this way." She put down her fork so she could sort of, explain with hand motions as well, to further prove her point. "You, the way you came out of there, I will assume, are in the form of a mist like substance when you take over or leave a host body. My powers are simple, yet complicated. At night, I transform into a horse. Not a normal horse, but a demonic one. You know that demons have the ability to become insubstantial? Well, that is an ability I have, and am actually never fully in the whole form of the horse. I have found that to increase my comfort, my feet are in the form of a semi-solid mist that cannot be harmed by such as glass, rocks, or extremely hard surfaces. So as thus, when I transform, I become a mist, like you are when you are outside of a host body until you reform yourself, which is much like what I do. In that we are similar, and in that case my power would cancel out your power. I would expel you, shattering your hold and your whole form in the burst that creates the horse form that I take at night." She trailed off. "Understand?" She asked as she picked up her drink, scooted down in her seat, and stared at Umbra.

"I suppose i get it." Umbra stated, not understanding a word of what she said besides horse. Despite being a product of science he had never formed a knack for it like Ven had, neither had he been given the time to do so.
"I'm six." He had the girl reply, holding up her hands and counting off six finger, and closing up the remaining four. He knew what she was thinking, most people usually had similar sentiments, and he knew it, as most(or rather the few) whoe knew what he was asked the same questions.
"She did fight. She didn't want me in here.She felt digusting. Poor Rachel." He said thinking, the girls facing knotting up in a small amount of sadness, the kind most children had when remembering something bad they had done.
"I didn't wanna be mean, i swear I didn't, but It was so cold, and I couldn't go back to the rats. I felt bad, i really did, but she looked so nice, so friendly." he said slightly crying now. It was strange for him. He had no family. But even less on the same terms than Ven. Ven had at some point in his life had parents. or people of the like. Umbra had nothing.
Umbra had been created in a lab. A ball of cells. No biological ties to literally anyone. The cells had been put through a process that stripped them of certain DNA aspects. Things that carried through bloodlines, like how people bald at an early age, or how purebred dogs can have re-occuring leg problems. By doing so he held now connections to anyone, but still the need for a parent figure. He got none. I hoped that a host would fill in the void, no such luck.
"I just wanted someone. I just wanted someone to be with." He had her reply.
"But she hasn't done anything but be.....there."

"You were lonely, I understand that. One thing you have to think about though. Have you tried only half taking over someone's body? Becoming more of a symbiote? Working with the person instead of against them? You know, if you talked to the person you wanted to be with, made them understand the process, and maybe chose someone that was willing.. and that would be able to have their body back after you left. Instead of laying there unconscious until you came back like Rachel did. " She said pointing to the Umbra because he was already back inside the girl. "Now do you know if it is possible for you to just partake in the day to day activities and not take over them? How can you allieve that loneliness if she is completely repressed? Its like you are the only one in there, so arent you still alone?"

"I don't Know." Umbra whined, almost totally unsure of how his abilities worked only that they let him literally get inside people.
"I don't know how, why, when, where, UGH!" He groaned through the girls mouth, jumbled thoughts flowing through his mind, that would have made sense has they come in individually, however because she was bring up all these new ideas on top of his already wigging emotions they just became partially understandable blurs inside his head.
"I guess I'm alone, kinda, but I'm safer, warmer. theres someone at least there. I mean I feel bad, but I need it, I can't make the powers work out, I can't figure it out, it's so weird." The girl said folding her arms, and her head then going into them, a few tears tricklying down.

"Now now.. no crying.." MoAnna muttered handing Umbra a tissue. He seemed so young and confused, MoAnna couldnt help but want to help him. She tapped her chin and scooted her plate and glass over to the other side of the table, up against the wall instead of between her and Umbra. She leaned her head down to the girl's that was laying hidden in her own arms. "I will help you find a way. All I ask is this, can that girl, when you leave her.. can she have her own body back?" She asked, purely curious, for she didnt want an imobile corpse laying around for good.
"If my theory is correct, you shouldnt be able to take over my body completely. Just until nightfall. Then I dematerialize and you will no longer have a substancial form to reside in." She broke down her previous explaination easily. "If, and only if you PROMISE, to give me most control over my body.." MoAnna paused. Was this a good idea? She really wanted to help, but to have a symbiote take over her body..a parasite.. She frowned somewhat, well, if I ever wanted him to stay out, the transformation at night is completely involuntary and unstoppable.. He wouldnt be able to keep hold of me and I would be my own person.. so thats a fail-safe. She nodded her head, she would be the one to help.
She picked up where she left off. " Then I will give you permission to enter my body. We will work on you establishing a proper control over a person. At night, we can discuss what steps you could take to not inhibit a person completely. If you find that you can work with someone, someone willing. I believe you have to take complete control only to keep from being forced out. That is why you have so many problems, is that you have yet to find someone that accepts you into themself. When you can find that, and have control over your own ability, then I will help you find some one that will willingly take you from me..okay?"

The girls head nodded, as Umbra's dark figure reappeared next to her, since Rachel's body has already been slumped over it remained where it was unmoving other than a soft breathing.
Umbra took in one deep breath, he then seemingly disappeared again, enter MoAnna through her pores, almost like reverse sweating. Slowly her seeped into her conciousness, unsure of how much control he had. He had never attempted to gain total control, nor had he even entered a gifted, either way, he wasn't sure of how things would go.
He felt his usual sense of control lock on, he attempted to keep this from taking effect, although he could only do so much, when two conflicting conciousness are in a body, unless one takes dominance the body their inhabiting has at least something ill happen too them. In this case, her body just got really rigid, as he tried to supress his powers from becoming fully enabled.
/I'm sorry If I bother you./ He said within her head, no actual sound audible anywhere else.
/Never not been in control before./ His voice was unsure, he didn't fully understand how his powers worked, attempting to hold them back was hard, as was adjusting to a new body, and a her being gifted didn't exactly help to make his struggle any easier.
/I don't know why she won't get up./ He said talking about his old body
/I guess I was just in there so long that....../ he couldn't find the right words, or rather was afraid to.
/I'm sorry./

MoAnna watched him disappear and was a little apprehensive. She felt a tingling sensation, then heard a whispering voice inside her head. Its okay, just relax.. No need to take over, just go along for the ride. She thought to him easily. His hesitance to take over was oddly reassuring. She sat the other girl's body into a sitting position, leaning her head onto the wall in the inner booth.
When someone walked by, MoAnna smiled. "She ate way too much. She got really tired." She told them, as they stared. She pointed at the plate with barely anything left on it. They smiled back, they thought they knew what she was going through, but they had no idea. And dont be sorry. Regrets only hurt the person that is feeling it. It will not turn back time, or stop what happened. Its done its over with. She thought to him, just a little reprimand in her voice.
She watched the girl, who began to murmur. See..she's already coming to. Your power kept the person from immediately waking up, so taking control again was less of a struggle if not one at all. She stood up, leaving the money for the waitress on the table, along with a generous tip. She loved that lady. She smiled gratefully and walked out. She knew that all of this was her doing, and that Umbra was keeping his power to a minimum. See now, you dont have to take over completely, and now you have someone to talk to.. How are you feeling?
