the divine will curl its way through your veins and take you over, and it will not leave you quietly. i feel divinity in my bones like aching; like fire.
[ ling's hands reaches up to sai's cheek , a finger gliding down her cheek and jaw in gentle , silent adoration . it's hard to fully describe what feeling sai pulls from her .
but she feels it . and she feels it intensely . ]
and that is why i love you so , sai .
( The mention of limited time makes Sai shut her eyes for a moment. It's subtle, but then again, she's a subtle lady. There's definitely a tinge of melancholy behind that gesture. )
Of course. Yes, that's true. No sense holding back.
Not that I could with you, even if I tried.
if you would like to . it's still just me , though .
[ the real ling shrugs her shoulders , crossing her arms as the other lings move closer to her , before copying her new pose . ]
@DaughterOfABat - yet . ]
i suppose it depends on the week for me , too . though more often than not , i fight mythical creatures . we get a lot of large monsters in the east .
[ the east coast isn't too foreign to ling by now , but this city . . . well , at least crime never changes . a gust of wind would knock the thugs down just as they start bashing in the windows , pinning them to the ground as above them , a woman clad in white and blue hovers -
Midnight.
It had been a shockingly uneventful night for Cassandra. Yet she persisted, eventually coming across a group attempting to break into a store.
Needless to say, they would be unsuccessful.
@DaughterOfABat [ aero can't quite tell if batgirl meant it as a joke , the truth , or a mixture of both , and that brings a soft irritation to the back of her mind . this woman was incredibly good at keeping her emotions close to her chest , and ling isn't quite sure how she feels about that -
@DaughterOfABat [ years of just that has ling getting this stuff down to a science . well , a martial art , really . despite the recent revelation of her power's origin , she still channels it through her chi , and as such , a landing is like stepping down a flight of stairs to her . ]
oh .ᐣ -
@DaughterOfABat - regularly .ᐣ just crooks .ᐣ
[ she asks innocently , her voice careying better on the wind than it otherwise should . though she feels like she already knows the answer to her question as she asks it . ]
@DaughterOfABat - streets in the city , even beyond the ones they travel through . like an air-carved x-ray of the streets , the people , the late evening bustle of gotham .
oh , and she's purifying the air wherever she goes . she refuses to breathe in this smog . ]
so what is it you fight -
@DaughterOfABat - too much on your patrol ; i would not want to impose .
[ below them , the group struggles to get out of the bind they find themselves in , only to be silenced by another gust of air in their faces . ]
@DaughterOfABat [ hm , she doesn't talk much . that doesn't make reading her any easier . that's fine , she's dealt with stoic types before . and as long as there's air between them , ling feels safe enough . ]
then maybe you can spare some time for a tour .ᐣ if it does not inconvenience you -
@DaughterOfABat - malcontent .
ling takes a soft breath , floating forward and extending a leg to land beside the bat , head tilting as she tries to find any semblance of features under that mask . ]
then are you gotham's protector .ᐣ you certainly look scary enough .
@DaughterOfABat [ calm , always . genuine was more of a flip of the coin . and yet , the impression was always there . and yet , if cass has any ill will toward her , she can't sense it either .
they're at a stalemate of intention . and that , she supposes , is safer than a stalemate of -
@DaughterOfABat i often visit new york , some members of my team frequent there .
[ she hums , eyeing the bat with what she portrays as relaxed curiosity . and yet , below it , she's reading the vibrations of her heart , the push and pull of her breath , the movements of her standing in the -
"You took nothing from me."
Hobbitish is back! It's been an age so bare with me!
Do the likes and tweets and dooblydoo things and let's get back into the swing of things!
Note: I am okay with 18+ content, but anything tittilating stays in DMs.
@DaughterOfABat - invisible gale , and tied together by a chain that snakes its way out of the store they just attempted to bust into .
all the while , ling's expression doesn't change . ]
