ㅤ

it was safe to say that the 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 ��𝐢𝐟𝐞 had eluded her these pass months .

“ To think I was just lucky enough to escape here . “

To pay a special someone a visit . ㅤ

𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 —— the very idea nearly brought her to laugh , or rather she found it far more amusing than she had expected .

“ Do you wish to hear of the endless hordes of documents I had to revise ? Or perhaps the onslaught of board meetings that demanded my presence ? “

Kiryuin's words ring true in more ways than she may know . . Or , perhaps her words were simply that well thought out . Rezza certainly wouldn't put it past her .

Regardless , Rezza took the words with importance . Following when prompted , with hands folded behind her head+

hand urged them to follow .

“ I am often preoccupied —— but I’ve also learned that a 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 every now and then keeps one ‘ human ‘ .

So shall we catch up ? “ㅤ

“ Of course —— besides … I doubt the moon is something you desire . For everything you have , and everything you need is simply out in front of you .

Waiting for your steps to bring you closer . “

And thus she offered a smile , before the small gesture of her

" I ain't one to ask for the moon , Satsuki . ~ " ✨️

Her nose disappeared behind the pedals . . A smile just as sincerely grateful as when they last met re-emerged . There's nothing to forgive , in her eyes !

" It's perfect . . Thank ya' . ~ " ❤️

Gently , she would store +

“ Rezza —— I know a simple flower can hardly compare to the gifts being exchanged this day . . . So I’ll have to ask for your forgiveness in this matter . “

‘ Shopping ’ wasn’t really her thing after all . ㅤ

ㅤ

[- 𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙇𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣' 𝘽𝙮 𝙈𝙮 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙙 .ᐟ @NOBLADEALLHANDS]

Heh . The flower's real lovely . ~ She'll take good care of it .

But , just seein' Satsuki's face today's the greatest gift Rezza could ask for . Sight for sore eyes to be frank . ✨️

She holdin' up well ?

Would a gifted 🌺 make up for lost time ——

[- 𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙇𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣' 𝘽𝙮 𝙈𝙮 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙙 .ᐟ @NOBLADEALLHANDS]

Rezza's thinking about @PathVfinder this Valentines Dayyyy .

[͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ᗰOᑌᑎTᗩIᑎ @PathVfinder]

ㅤ

Perhaps a talk for another time .

But as for now one inquiry dwelled on her mind .

The only one of immediate concern .

“ 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞 ? “

This game . . .

Both enjoyable , and soul tearing no ? ㅤ

ㅤ

[͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ᗰOᑌᑎTᗩIᑎ @PathVfinder]

ㅤ

. . .

. . .

. . .

And there stretched a long and endearing silence between the two . Eyes burrowing into the Fox’s very own —— as if the swordswoman before her was searching for something within the pain of their soul . ㅤ

ㅤ

[玉藻前【𝐓𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐦𝐨-𝐧𝐨-𝐌𝐚𝐞】 @KitsunesCurse]

The question crashes into her like a freight train. Of course, Tamamo-no-Mae romanticizes humanity even despite their hatred, their unwillingness to accept those different from them, their willingness to kill all that don't fit within their mold.

Humans are genociders.

“ You are dangerous dear Fox —— and though we are at a battle of wits , I sincerely hope we don’t face a time where our weapons must clash .

You see it is my ambition to rid the world of 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 . To restore balance to our withering society . “ㅤ

“ You have great ambitions —— question is , is such a monumental task fueled by 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝 , or something else . Freedom can be interpreted in many ways .

For example . . .

Freedom from order , the freedom to pillage and take . Often the wishes of a pirate . “ㅤ

❝ I fight to become something great. Being 𝐏𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠 and for the freedom of others. You'd be 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭. I have made several enemies. But I've made many more allies instead. ❞

Hm . . .

And thus a frown occupied Kiryuin countenance

“ So you enjoy taking life —— On what grounds ? For the thrill , or perhaps your duty to another ? “ㅤ

ㅤ

[͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ᗰOᑌᑎTᗩIᑎ @PathVfinder]

“ It is not dead , 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 we can agree —— however the longer humanity exists , the greater our greed grows . It is a sad truth , but one I acknowledge . “ㅤ

ㅤ

[𝖫𝖺𝗇𝖼𝖾𝗋 @CrimsonCulann]

A shrug.

"I think that it's more common than you might believe, little miss. Some people just need a bit o' prodding to let that quality shine, but it's certainly still there, y'know~?"

[͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ᗰOᑌᑎTᗩIᑎ @PathVfinder]

ㅤ

And how does your holidays differ , if I may ask ?

[𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙔 𝙃𝙄𝙂𝙃 @fadingstxr]

My people’s holidays are way better. . .If I had anyone left to celebrate them with.

[͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ᗰOᑌᑎTᗩIᑎ @PathVfinder]

Till the light faded , and the smoke cleared —— revealing Kiryuin outfitted in her Kamui’s true form . Skin shamelessly on display with every curve of her trained figure .

“ This —— is the burden I carry . “ㅤ

ㅤ

[͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ᗰOᑌᑎTᗩIᑎ @PathVfinder]

ㅤ

“ You see —— the uniform I don is known as a Kamui . Living threads woven together to create what others would believe to be 𝐠𝐨𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 . “

For her hand moved upward , digits pushing needles into place . Puncturing flesh .

“It responds to blood .“ㅤ

ㅤ

[- 𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙇𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣' 𝘽𝙮 𝙈𝙮 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙙 .ᐟ @NOBLADEALLHANDS]

" Yes ma'am ! ~ "

Rezza spoke with an enthusiastic glow , doing exactly that . Taking a few steps back , giving Kiryuin room as she stared on with eager anticipation brimming her spirit . . How could Satsuki dazzle her /this time/ , she wonders ?

[͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ᗰOᑌᑎTᗩIᑎ @PathVfinder]

“ And so it must be fed . “

The activation , the sync of crimson as the robe 𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐃 . Winds kicking up , and the outburst of fluctuating aura shaking the ground of where they stood .

The light it admitted blinding those who would dare gaze directly upon it . ㅤ
