A silent gaze up and down their lazy form —— and to think she almost found it amusing before uttering her decision .
“ Yeah . . .
Not worth the effort . “
Even if they were to be quite the combatant . ㅤ

⠀⠀⠀❝ If you really are a weapon, then you'd strike me down with little effort, and yet you haven't. Not even for a spar. ❞
⠀⠀⠀Uttered like a challenge to Ryuko's view of herself, the fox lazily enters a combative stance.

"Good thing I don't have any. for stupider thing's I have been threatened for. nonetheless, won't stop me for keep trying.
that said, I stop here for today. won't severe my happiness for our reunion."

Meaning her sense of smell .
“ Even under all that fragrance
you bath yourself in , it wouldn’t
hide that natural scent of what
you are . “
A fox . . .
And a ghost .
“ Then again . . . if I scrubbed you I could possibly get that stench away . “ㅤ
ㅤ
“ This body of mine . . . “
A pause , as the subtle *𝕗𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕜* … *𝕗𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕜* of her lighter brought life to flame . Igniting the end of a much needed cigarette .
“ . . . Is meant to be no
more than a weapon .
That includes the heightened
senses for hunting . “ㅤ

⠀⠀⠀❝ You're such a tsundere! And for the record, Ms. Kiryuin is 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 worried about you! She had no idea about the corruption or anything! ❞
⠀⠀⠀Being snappy is Tamamo's own way of pouting over her trinket being taken.

“ In other words . . .
your stench still
offends me 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐲 . “
That said m the mention of her ‘sister’ only made her ‘huff’ .
“ She is doing well no doubt . “ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
“ Don’t get too excited . . . “
And thus with one crunch sticks leaves crushing beneath her footsteps the Hybrid brought herself close . Close enough to retrieve the lighter from their grasp .
“ I only wanted what
is ( 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 ) returned
to me . “ㅤ

⠀⠀⠀❝ You thought I'd forget, dear? It looks just as good as the day I won it 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐞 from you. Don't even think that I'll forget you calling me 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝, either! ❞

"I have not..."
he didn't felt any discomfort or pain upon being hit, yet it was certainly unexpected.
"but I won't be affected by it, especially at the state I am now. you can be tranquil and let yourself feel it for once. ha know."

Tch . . .
As she suspected .
“ You’re one of those ( 𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐬 )
aren’t you ? Something that
should be long dead , yet still
walking about causing a mess . “
She was starting to recall her disgust of this topic . ㅤ
ㅤ
“ hm~ you’re quite the feisty human I’ve met. But it’s appreciated I suppose, it is a nice change of pace.”
The in comparison rather short Oni would scratch the back of her ear with her smaller digit of her deep crimsoned hand. Relaxed was her posture for the moment—
ㅤ
Not enough to bring about a smile , yet it brought about a sensation of ease .
“ I recall you have
something of mine . “
A lighter in particular . ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
“ Well well . . .
If it isn’t my fox friend .
I thought I felt something
familiar lurking about . “
The Hybrid turning and offering her cold piercing gaze —— however , there was a part of her that was … ‘glad’ to see them . ㅤ

Her fingertip would casually press against their forehead . Easily keeping them at an arms distance .
“ Everything around me
withers and dies , or did
you forget . “ㅤ
ㅤ

“ At least I still look
human right ——
The same for you
demon folk . “
The horns still caught her eye . Hell … she would even go as far to call them ‘cute’ .
“ Ibaraki yeah ? What

“ Kehahahahah~! That could be true however flesh is still flesh no matter how you look at it.”
