reminded her of who she was dealing with.
" A little silly one ... a prank lover ... a little trickster, even ... which would mean you are trying to get something out of leading me .. "
A sip followed. Her eyes were on the guide.
" So .. what is your goal? "
She did struggle getting the cup back -- until it was offered right back at her. Both hands grasped it, but before a proper sip was taken, Belle became a little suspicious. Even in her tipsy state, she knew that Tanukis were rarely to be trusted, and the other's words
->
A soft, teasing giggle as she held the cup just over her head. Tanuki are known for theit tricks and pranks... "Oh? And what if I were to down the rest of this? It was hardly very good, and I have far better spirits in my shrine.~" gently swaying it just out of reach โ
" Bwaaaaah! Come on! Don't be mean! "
There was no complaint about being yoinked away - be it that she wanted to see new places or because she was more concerned about her cup being taken? Who knows ...
" I'm Belle! Now you know my name! "
->
Perhaps the shrine would be a safer place for this evening. No scrutiny, or noise. The silence of woods and antiquated architecture. "Yes...we neglected to introduce ourselves, didn't we?" Came a soft hum before gently tugging the woman to a different direction. โ
home, but Belle didn't seem like she wanted to face her sibling ... perhaps her lack of direction was a silent agreement of the might comforter being allowed to take her places!
By all means, it wasn't a rude assumption โ she remembers her comforter; she doesn't remember if they introduced themselves...
" Nyooo! I didn't mean to insult you! I know you, I remember you, but I don't know .. like .. a connection, that's all! "
Not far to bring her
->
Oh, she was adorable like this, truly. How much further to her safe have? Or perhaps it would be easier to transport her to the shrine? "I know not of who you speak.~" Another sip. One step. "Forgotten me already?" Two step. "Oh, that stings my maiden heart..." Three...
History speaks --, and it said there might be three more before carrying was necessary. Still, the contact, once again, was comforting, and Belle's sipping slowed down.
" I uh ... hehe ... you are comfy~ ... wait!! Are you Yuzuha's sibling!? "
Hand came up to gently pet her swaying head, the other moving to take that cup for a sip. "Lest I forget, remind I must get you water." Slow, careful steps, letting the other rest her weight as she needed along their path. Worst case, Amatsu carries her.
It wasn't the first time they met, was it? There were some comforting moments where the comfortmaster aided Belle. Not a stranger, no. Indeed, someone she could rely on!
Certainly, the cutie --- 'nuki, was fine with Belle leaning against them while offering them a cup.
Who was she to deny good drink?~
The tanuki will happily join her on this adventure. Of course, Amatsu intended to ensure the other was well and safe.
Cue the 'nuki coming up to her side. She was welcome to use her as a support.
