โYou left โem? Guess the pay wasnโt the best then.โ She says a little jokingly.
Continuing to lead the way, she gives him a little once over. She wonders what happened to his arm, but perhaps it wasnโt appropriate to ask now . . .
โ
youโll get it soon .
( just then, their drinks are done and she steps forward to get them. he holds one drink and a straw out towards him )
be careful about stabbing the straw through the lid .แ
you donโt have to apologize for that โ i didnโt celebrate any of yours. mostly โcause i thought you were a goner, but i did plan the funeral .แ the flowers were very pretty. you should have seen them.
( she attempts to lighten the mood )
A soft gasp escapes her lips as the soft fur brushes against her arm. It was so totally real .แ She canโt help but accept the silent invitation, reaching her hand out to gently pet one of the tails like it was a cat .
โThatโs so cool .แ Are you like . . Part fox then?โ
ahri giggled and stepped forward , barely turning just to let those fluffy tails brush against the other's arm. a silent invitation to feel the white fur.
โ see for yourself. โ
iโve been the legal drinking age for a while โ how old do you even think i am ?
( she opens the door to the boba shop, waiting for him to follow before going up to order something for both of them . )
โ
The Yลkai are technically rebelling against their rule. I have all this training and the fox spirit, so . . Why not use them to protect the people ?โ She shrugs as if it was not that big of a deal.
โIsnโt that what Overwatch is for ? Even though theyโre smaller now.โ
โOh? Youโre a former gangster?โ She wouldnโt have initially guessed that when looking at him. Former gangster cowboy? That must make life quite exciting, she thinks.
โGuess I kind of am one too. The Hashimoto have run Kanezaka since the Shimadaโs fall.
โ
She was curious about her appearance โ even more so when she notices the tail movement . Sheโd fully assumed they were maybe fake . . She wouldnโt be surprised to find out they were real, sheโs seen strange things before. She offers up a smile .
โNah, not at all .แ
โ
โ the spirit of the fox? how intriguing โฆ a shrine maiden. first time i meet one. โ her own tails sway behind her , wondering if kiriko had perhaps wondered about her own appearance.
โ i can assume i donโt frighten you? โ
โ
โFoxes and donuts, huh? Thatโs . . Yeah, I guess heโs right,โ She laughs a little.
โKiriko is the name. And whatโs yours, cowboy?โ She asks, looking over at him curiously. โThe shrine maiden job is just mostly cleaning, cleansing, taking care of the community.โ
โIโve known Genji and his brother since I was a kid .แ My mother trained us all, actually.โ
Ah . . Blackwatch. Sheโd heard a little bit about them in the news, but had no idea Genji was ever involved. She never really asked what happened when she thought he was a goner .
