“...How does it feel?” Of course he already knows. This accursed mark grants him sight beyond human capability. “There should be less fatigue... but it will not erase what you've built up today... working on sore muscles already.”
“The first steps towards... An aware and healthy mind... Must be to protect your physical health... I will begin.” He reaches out, index finger and thumb on both hands digging into her side and kneading out the knotted muscles.
His work is quick and efficient.
She 𝘩𝘢𝘥 seen her fair share of sore muscles, so she couldn't fault his logic.
“You'd really do that for me.ᐣ Well, I don't really feel it, but if that'll help this weird funk——why not.ᐣ Fix away~.ᐟ”
The soreness did little to affect her enthusiasm, it seemed . . .
━━━ It doesn't take long for him to finish working out the knots, but there is a visible frown on his face. It's the rare emotion he shows beyond anger, “You must be strict with your self-discipline.... There is no greater power than the self... To keep oneself in line..”
“When you sleep... like that... It tenses up the muscles here...” He hovered his hand to her side so she could see where he meant. “I can see... Clearly which one it is... I can fix it... if you wish.”
“My side . . . oh — I guess you're right, Tsugikuni-san.ᐟ”
His observation was met with an unconcerned (if impressed) smile. When he gestured, though, she tilted her head — before obliging.
“Ehh, do I have something on my uniform.ᐣ” She asked, not without some mock-horror.
“You are wound up... more than usual... You slept on your side... Isn't that right?” It wasn't clear from his lack of facial expression where he was going with this, but he then motioned with his hand for her to turn around.
@BENEFISENS The biggest audacity is forcing me to read TTV and then them having not even streamed in months. Like if you're gonna make me read some shit like S1lentK1llerTTV at least stream with vods on so I can see your reaction to the dumb shit I do in games
“It has its relevance... ...If blood itself is all you need... then so be it. However.... if consuming humans is necessary to your existence━━━I will wield my blade... Here and now.” It is not haughtiness or arrogance, but honorable duty which seems to compel the swordsman.
❛ Fascinating, you can tell that from a glance. ❜ she remarked calmly, her usual smile in place. Spiral gaze dropping to the sword at his side.
❛ A creature who wields a blade with such ease. I wonder, how relevant is it whether blood is necessary or not? ❜
