❛ you’re in lastation ； of course i know this area. some goddess i’d be if i didn’t know… ❜ final sentence is muttered under her breath ， softly.

💭💭. he's heard a very similar thought when he offered up a slice of cake, ❛ even if you 𝙙𝙤 gain weight, it'll hardly be noticable -- if you care about appearance's . ❜

still ， getting riled up would do neither of them any favors. grumbling to herself ， hands catch the offered delicacy between them.

she does not fail to keep a safe distance between them ──── both for her own protection and her comfort.

[‍ ‍‍ ೀ ‍‍𝕷𝖎𝙲𝙷𝚃͢𝐒𝐂𝐇𝚆𝑨𐍂𝓩 ‍‍ ͟⟢ ‍‍ @lasttorn]

⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
❛ um… yes. ❜ she replies ， simply. her gaze does not falter ； still throughly observing the stranger for any sign that he would attack.
