Kou thanked her. Was this progress? Yes, it had to be. There were plenty of times before where the lad would have completely shied away from all attention she gave him. Now, he seemed to stand off just a bit less than before. She wasn't demanding public displays of affection or anything of the sort, so this was fine. So instead she was left to transform and concentrate. She stood and her feet touched the ground, and it was then that she noticed the shoes. She took a few tiny steps forward. Heels were fine but this was ridiculous. 'Oh? Walking in these is going to be annoying...' she thought only to begin to hover off the ground by just enough for it not to be a problem. 'Ah, that is way better,' her mind wandered. She was different and the same. Her outward appearance, needed appraising so she looked to the only person whose opinion mattered, Kou. The lad was openly gawking. Was this good? She moved a bit closer to him, gave him a knowing smirk. He couldn't reach out and touch her, but she could instead, all of that extra cloth would end up draped over the lad as she wrapped him up in her arms while they were still inside. "Mikon, you're staring pretty openly. Should I take that to mean this one suits me?" she asked in a manner most teasing.
All the while, Kuroka saw this transformation and noted it. Ashikaga Kimiko as a Kitsune was probably one of the most fitting transitions she'd ever seen. Beyond this, her general care for the lad known as Kou was something she'd not expected from the lass for quite a while to come. This world was apparently full of surprises including such an interesting pairing of people. 'Sou ka, she is more direct than he is... even when changing forms... she allows him the space to be himself...' thought the black haired lass. 'How interesting.' and that was that. This new Avatar of Kimiko's would come with a slight shift in personality which would be worth observing. She wondered how this lad would remake himself as well, though he obviously liked the form of this pink haired fox.
