blinking almost a bit confused, almost as if she had read his mind. again, he was shaking his head slightly.
"it's okay. this is all just still very messy to me."
and he wasn't really sure if he would ever get used to it. or if he actually wanted to get used to it.
โ โ โ
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
โ โ โ โI probably have so
โ โ โ many ๐๐ข๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐๐ that
โ โ โ do not help you.โ
she cut herself off as her eyes panned his chest back-and-forth.
โ โ โ โI donโt mean to make
โ โ โ you feel ๐๐๐ about it.
โ โ โ I am just curious.โ
โ โ โ
frowning slightly, he was already guilty enough about having to kill innocent people to survive, those words were far from helping that.
"it's not assumptions."
he shook his head, lifting his hand to scratch along his nape.
"it's more like what I observed."
โ โ โ
๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐
โ โ โ โSo because they live
โ โ โ as a ๐๐๐๐ person gives
โ โ โ you the right to ๐๐ ๐ ๐ข๐๐?โ
she asked, but there was no ๐๐๐๐๐๐ in her voice, only ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ฆ.
โ โ โ
ivory nodded at that, but he didn't actually expect her to ask about more details.
he almost felt a bit ashamed about saying it.
"well, there is a few people living on the streets. they often are missing already or have no one to care."
โ โ โ
๐กโ๐๐๐๐๐๐
โ โ โ โsomeone who wonโt be
โ โ โ ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐?โ
she asked as if it was new ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ก to her. did he study his ๐ฃ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ before he ๐๐๐๐?
โ โ โ โhow do you know
โ โ โ they wonโt be ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐?โ
โ โ โ
unbearable until he finally made his body listen again.
he let go, he stepped back, and the predator features cracked to show horror.
"no, no, no."
shaking his head slightly, he looked down on himself, seeing the blade.
"no, fuck!"
his hand was all tangled up with the shirt elio wore, grabbing him harsh and tight to keep him pressed up against the wall.
and the other one stayed in position, keeping his blood red weapon close to the blonde's throat.
it took only a small movement and he could slice +
elio barely registered the noise of the door opening, because it couldn't have been more than 2 seconds before his back hit the wall hard enough to make him groan in pain.
"what the fuck?" that's pretty much all he could bring out before noticing the blade... coming out of +
tattooed skin.
it was him holding back with all he could. because he did see elio behind the mask of the monster he was now. and he did feel the pain of what was happening here, he felt his chest growing heavy when those whispers reached his ear.
the tension was almost +
getting away from the city. ivory had never thought that the quiet and calm out in the woods could be feeling this good.
but he didn't have any other chance. he had recognised a change in him. something that wasn't human anymore and he had found out right away what he was +
strangers werenโt too common around these woods, yet it seemed @emptyapplause made himself comfortable.
the seclusion of the river offered endless tranquility, which emory wasnโt sure she enjoyed sharingโbut, the longer she spied on the lone man, the more her curiosity grew.
@cursedfolklore ivory hesitantly was waving back at her. the idea of this being a real encounter slowly settled. he noticed the tail right after, shining in the sunlight hitting the lake.
"what?"
the question slipped and it was most likely him talking to himself but at least he was scooting +
what she said seemed a bit unsettling to him. frowning slightly, he shook his head.
no, she couldn't possibly know.
"ah well, seems this one is special. since he sat down on your hand too."
She watched him approach, lowering her hand only slightly as the butterfly refused to move.
โOhโฆ yesโฆ Itโs strange because they usually donโt do this around hum-peopleโ she quickly corrected herself, clearing her throat. She added a bright, toothy grin to mask it.
confused on how it was possible but at least their way of moving seemed to differ.
there was a strong frown on his features.
"blood rituals? what are you talking about?"
the thing with ivory was, although he was barely human anymore himself, he had no idea about the things that existed out there.
up to a few months prior, he had been living a perfectly normal life, as a human.
he watched the other move and make the coffee, still rather +
๏ธ
๏ธ
He could figure it out. He whips out his phone and googles how to do it. It takes all of five minutes and he's moving to grind the beans and is working on making the coffee. "I know it's strange, but I promise, it's not all so bad. So we look alike..."
๏ธ
he noticed that she seemed to look at him but at the same time not at all. or well, something on his head maybe?
he was just about to reach up when she noticed that she was caught.
"huh?"
he couldn't even reach up quickly enough when the butterfly was flying off and +
It was strange, because butterflies didnโt usually do this. They might land on someone for a fleeting moment before fluttering away, but this one had settled right on his head, its beautiful wings slowly opening and closing.
