She often forgets that she has a stick in her tail.

...She should use that more.

[☣𝔸 ℤ ℍ 𝔸☣ @plaguedxflames]

She's been trying to get some exercise recently in order to keep her strength up as long as she can.

...But it's backfiring at the moment. She's on one knee, breathing erratically. Her heart isn't handling the stress as well as it could before.

[☣𝔸 ℤ ℍ 𝔸☣ @plaguedxflames]

@JolteonSalvager --would flush red and she grabbed the note and read it. She again looked at the supplies. She was picky, yet these were actually high quality.

"Cheeky bastard... He already knows he'll be the first one I use these to cook for..."

...Yet, she was smiling. Quite a lot.

[☣𝔸 ℤ ℍ 𝔸☣ @plaguedxflames]

@JolteonSalvager Initially, she had been confused as to who would send her of all people a present, let alone one that must have cost a mint. As she began checking the new supplies, she hadn't even seen the note yet... But her ears perked up as she put 2 and 2 together.

"...Ziv."

Her cheeks--

A lot has changed for Azha recently. She's allowing herself to live a little. She's moved somewhere else, has taken up a simple job, and has been trying to keep her health stable.

...She's also developed a rather large crush on someone, and is absolutely terrified of that.

[☣𝔸 ℤ ℍ 𝔸☣ @plaguedxflames]

She's still kicking, for now.

Yes, she has a potty mouth.

No, she won't hesitate to say rude, vulgar things to you.

The Miniphox is past the point of caring about her language.

@ROCKHANDKARATE --want to drive myself into the dirt."

Now she would look at the hand on her shoulder and would roll her eyes. She tried to rekindle some of her own fire through a snarky remark.

"Oi, get any dumb ideas, an' I'll shove this cane so far up your arse that it comes out your nose."

[☣𝔸 ℤ ℍ 𝔸☣ @plaguedxflames]

@ROCKHANDKARATE She still hesitated initially. She needed a few moments to let his words sink in. But her ears would slowly return to their usual position, and her expression relaxed.

"Bloody... Fuck it. I don't have a reason not to. I may as well try. But I can't push it too much. I don't--

[☣𝔸 ℤ ℍ 𝔸☣ @plaguedxflames]

@ROCKHANDKARATE --to get around, now. It's gettin' harder to walk, and I'm startin' to have trouble with my shoulders. What if my body can't do it? What if I just make it worse by pushin' too hard?"

There was actually a small hint of fear in her voice now. Fear, and hesitation.

[☣𝔸 ℤ ℍ 𝔸☣ @plaguedxflames]

@ROCKHANDKARATE Those big ears of hers folded down as he spoke, trying to light the flame within her. She wanted to, badly. But she genuinely didn't know if her body could handle that kind of strain anymore.

"It's not that I don't wanna fight... I don't know if I can. I'm usin' a bloody cane--

[☣𝔸 ℤ ℍ 𝔸☣ @plaguedxflames]

@ROCKHANDKARATE --pulled out two pizza pans. Then she opened the freezer and pulled out a pair of frozen pizzas, both pepperoni. She started the oven and opened them, setting them on the pans.

"I don't got it in me to make a meal from scratch. But I can at least give you dinner for helpin'."

[☣𝔸 ℤ ℍ 𝔸☣ @plaguedxflames]

@ROCKHANDKARATE When he poked her cheek, she reflexively tried to slap his hand, but had missed. Her movements were more sluggish than they used to be. Once he got everything set up, the miniphox would huff and push herself to her feet.

"Oh, shut up."

Azha stumbled over to the cupboard and--

[☣𝔸 ℤ ℍ 𝔸☣ @plaguedxflames]

@ROCKHANDKARATE --around a little, before taking it more seriously.

"Either way... I appreciate the help. Even if I'm a pain in the arse to deal with. Not sure I woulda been able to chase you off, though, even if I tried."

[☣𝔸 ℤ ℍ 𝔸☣ @plaguedxflames]

@ROCKHANDKARATE He'd find a gi alright, but it was quite old. It looked too small, perhaps something from when she was younger. There were some ballet clothes, more casual attire... And probably too many kitchen aprons.

"I get dizzy 'nough on my own, this ain't helpin'..."

She tried to joke--

[☣𝔸 ℤ ℍ 𝔸☣ @plaguedxflames]

@ROCKHANDKARATE --change the way I think 'bout myself. I'm tryin'... Moving here is probably the best thing I've done for myself. But it's so difficult, tryin' not to see myself as a waste. I feel guilty 'bout makin' friends when I'm on limited time, but... I really am tryin' to change my view."

[☣𝔸 ℤ ℍ 𝔸☣ @plaguedxflames]

@ROCKHANDKARATE Her ears folded back when he scolded her. She knew he was right. But she'd been in this mindset for a long time. She was trying to stop, but it was difficult. She made her way back to the bed, and sat down, staring at the floor.

"...I met someone. He makes me wanna try and--
