Some rather... interesting events.

Kimitsuki yawned softly as she walked through the streets of Japan, Kyoto; in a rather strange place considering her normal areas to reside. She was simply here to take a break and relax some, in her casual clothes, not her vastime uniform, to simply try and relax and not worry about much. She yawned softly as she continued to walk around slowly. Today wasn't exactly an eventful day, but, it was a calm one.

Mirja, was done. This whole thing with Kimitsuki would be over today. She didn't know why the girl was so passionate about hating Mirja, but she was going to find out, and have some solice in knowledge. Sorting out tea beforehand so she could just drop Kimi into the situation and not have to waste time giving her a chance to escape, she made her best drinks, and then went out hunting, following nose and ears until she found the firey girl and grabbed her by the shoulders. In that moment, she picked her up and rocketed back to The Tundra, crossing the city at hypersonic velocity and making the joureny a matter of seconds "Ok! There will be tea, and small cakes, and there will be talks! Escape shall not be permitted!"
darkfunnel-01/26/2017
Kimitsuki yanwed softly and felt hands upon her shoulders. She turned to see Mirja and attempted to break free of her grasp, likely unsuccessfully. When they arrived she slipped out of her grasp and growled a little. "Wh-What the hell??" she backed up slightly, showing some of her shy nature instead of the nature she had during the time she is in Vastime. She sighed softly and rubbed her arm softly. "What do you want, Mirja?" She sighed softly and didn't attempt an escape or to hide, even if some instincts were telling her to hide. She simply stood there and held her arm with her right hand, fire sparking around the glove on her right hand slowly.(edited)

Mirja sat down heavily, and then the chair snapped underneath her, metal legs giving way as if they were made from wet clay. Snarling incoherently at the chair, she discarded it halfway across the city with a kick and then grabbed another, sitting much more carefully "There will be tea" She reitterated, taking the cup of tea in front of her and taking a long drink that drained it in one. Calmed by it, she returned her gaze to Kimitsuki. It still had fire, but a leashed fire "What I want, Kimitsuki, is to talk. And drink tea. And eat small cakes. I am sure that was self-evident but since you have a habit of ignoring me outright, I shall repeat it for your benefit. We will sit, we will drink, and we will talk because I for one am sick to death of this hatred you seem to have for me. And so at the very least I will have a reason for it before I let you go anywhere"
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-01/26/2017
Kimitsuki sighed softly and simply sat down on the chair across from her, crossing her legs as she put hers her right hand on the chair, burning and melting the metal. She tapped her thigh and then sighed softly as she listened to Mirja. "Alright, we'll talk... and it's not hatred. I'm just... I'm just annoyed by things you have done... If you have something to say, then please say it." She sighed softly and popped her knuckles before staying silent and taking a small sip of the tea as her eyes returned the same fire, nearly literally, as she stared into Mirja's eyes before she palced the drink down and sighed softly; waiting for her to speak.
@Wan-Wan
Wan-Wan-01/26/2017
Mirja turned the cake in her hand into a compact ball of pastry and jam when Kimi admitted it was just annoyance, not hatred "Annoyance? You've been treating me like I killed your hampster and made him into a pie, and then wouldn't give you any of the profits from the very successful Hampster Pie. If it was just annoyance, why didn't you just say something? As much as it would be awesome, my plethora of skills does not constitute mind reading, so I don't know what you are thinking. You have to say what you are thinking"
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-01/26/2017
Kimitsuki sighed softly and shook her head softly "Well, I didn't say anything for I had no idea you actually wnated to fix things. I was convinced you had no intentions besides getting in my pants. I..." Kimitsuki paused and sighed softly shaking her head and fixing her hair. After she fixed her hair she removed her jacket and revealed her arms and the fact that she really only wears the shirt under her jacket. She sighs once more and then continued speaking. "I'm not exactly good at telling what people want; as you said, I can't read minds. So, if you have other intentions and I have assumed wrong, then, you should tell me different; otherwise I will never know."
@Wan-Wan
Wan-Wan-01/26/2017
Mirja let out a sigh that sounded more wolven than human and looked at the girl "It doesn't matter if the person wants to sort things out or not. if someone does something that annoys you, tell them that it annoys you. That way you can gague reactions, and you have good reason for punching them in the face if they ignore you and carry on. It could all just be something they are entirely unaware of, and you suffering it in silence will never get them to change what could be an easy and uneventul fix for them" She then heard the idea of getting in Kimi's pants, and her barking laughter was definately more wolven than human "Darling, that's me. I got shafted in life and now I got an admiration for beautiful women that is through the roof and difficult to control. But honestly, me flirting is generally no more than another person commenting that your hair looks nice today, or your jeans are well made, were did you get them? Very few people can look at someone and immidiately assess the emotional state in reference to themselves. Something I am sure I have told you beforehand, but regardless. Long, long ago, people came to the same conundrum that you did. They wanted some manner to tell how another person felt about them, and wanted to avoid misunderstandings that could come from wrong assumptions or the misinterpretation of a look. And so the wisest of them invented the almost arcane act, of Talking. It's miraclous really. If you are feeling unsure about someone, you grab them, use this Talking, and then you come away with a much clearer understanding of how they feel about you"
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-01/26/2017
Kimitsuki sighed softly and kept her legs crossed before speaking in response to Mirja. "Well... I did not know that, Mirja. I'm still new to Social, well, everything." she sighs softly and sighs, red faced for a moment. "While I thank you for, hm, those 'comments' I truly did not understand their meaning besides you wanitng to get in bed with me. And, yes, I know, talking is important. BUt I really did not understand that you wanted something else." Kimitsuki sighed softly once more before she kept her legs crossed and spoke softly once more. "I'll tell you this, Mirja. I do not hate you; not even a little. I was simply annoyed and I did not know you intend something else besides annoying me or feeling me up. So, tell me, right now, what do you want, how do you feel about me. Because, I still am annoyed at you for randomly capturing me and bringing me here. Otherwise, I really will continue to be annoyed with you. Or at least, I will be less annoyed... Please, just tell me."
@Wan-Wan
Wan-Wan-01/26/2017
Mirja giggled softly and shook her head, eating the destroyed cake and licking the mess off her hand "Good rule of thumb is, if you are confused, uncertain, or believe you have understood what is being said in any matter that was different than intended, speak up. Nobody gets good at being social by staying quiet and looking cute. Like you can't get good at art simply by reading magazines about some paintings. But, as for wanting to feel you up, that is entirely uneccesery. I already have a mental image of you sufficent that feeling you up would be for your own pleasure, and that is not going to be instigated until such a time as you want it. And it is very posible that that will occur on the 32 of Jelember. Right now....I don't know, what I want, how I feel, about you. At this point I would have interacted and made a solid understanding of how I thought of a person, through good and bad. But you refused to interact at all, in the slightest. You ran, hid, or just outright ignored me when I was present, so I don't know you. And I can't say how I feel about you. I want to get to know you, like with everyone. You are a new girl, it's just a bit late to the dance, is all" @darkfunnel
darkfunnel-01/26/2017
Kimitsuki sighed softly and fixed the shirt she had on, which revealed her abs for Mirja to see even easier than before, as hse listened to her words and then thought. "The fact that you have a mental image of me is... disturbing... but, I have a feeling it may be inaccurate... more men and women in my training regimen would know my body better since we had co-ed showers. Developed a pretty good death stare... and no, you likely won't get to actually see since I... I don't know exactly what I want in that department. Likely nothing for a long time. And, well, since you kinda captured me, now is a good time as any to 'get to know me'. Ask away, and, I hid before now because I was nervous and scared you would do something to me. And I tried to learn, and, well, it's hard..."
@Wan-Wan
Wan-Wan-01/26/2017
"I may not look it, but I am an incredibly skilled Martial Artist. The ability to see the subtle nuances of your opponent's body is the difference between victory and defeat. I just have to see you walk and I can draw a mental image of considerable accuracy. It's not unique to you, I can do it to everyone. It could be inaccurate, but I wouldn't say it was very inaccurate. Only a little. We've never fought so I don't have the subtle parts. But I have the general structure down. As for the Death Stare, yea I got one of them. Hopefully never showing you because it requires an emotional mind set I would prefer to avoid with you. But, really, getting to know someone is not just a barrage of questions and then you are bezzis for ever and you go shopping and try on new clothes and talk about boys. Getting to know someone is just being around them, interacting and being interacted with" @darkfunnel

Kimitsuki sighed softly as she listened to Mirja; the tone in Mirja's voice sounding gloaty or overcondfident. She simply shrugged it off and nodded to what she said; partially ignoring the fact that she memorized her body shape and all that without even looking at her nude form. She shook the thought off and then looked at Mirja. "I understand that it is not just asking questions, but, makes sense after all. And, frankly, I'm not sure exactly when would be a good chance to get to know each other then since I am basically always on duty. These breaks I get are small and only last for a day if even just that. So, what do you want to do?" she looked at Mirja intensely waiting for her to answer.
@Wan-Wan

Wan-Wan-01/30/2017
"I guess. The past will avail us naught, but I could always share what I like doing. And as for the breaks, don't worry about that, I am in the Vastimian Military And my duties in the Gotei state that I meet with Earth-based orginizations to construct and maintain a stable relationship. So I can always use that as an excuse to get to know you. Or we could talk while we are both on duty. I'm sure we can wrangle something"

(gonna go ahead and continue the previous rp since derp, why not. and it's not over o3o )
|-----------------------------------------------------|
Kimitsuki tapped her foot slowly as she sighed for a moment before she stared at Mirja "Well, with us in the same squad, it would be... easier for us to talk. But, since you are likely gone most of the time that would make being "friends" a little harder. Regardless, I will try to... not be as harsh on you." She crossed her arms and sighed softly, letting her gaze relax some.
@Wan-Wan
Wan-Wan-Last Monday at 12:45 PM
"Darling, I can be around as long as you need me to be. I'm only gone because there isn't much to do around here besides run my shop and scowl at ejjits. I feel this is how genius is when surrounded by normal people.."
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Last Monday at 1:16 PM
Kimitsuki sighed softly and tapped her foot still; raising an eyebrow "I see. You do have duties to Vastime besides that shop. I do expect them to be fulfilled; doing what you do is no excuse to ignore your duties. Of course, I doubt you are." She sighs softly once more and popped her neck lightly.
@Wan-Wan
Wan-Wan-Last Monday at 1:18 PM
Mirja scratched her head "You know, I don't even know what those duties are. I think everyone fobbed off telling the mad wolf girl on someone else and then nobody got around to it. So I just stand around in my uniform and look pretty"
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Last Monday at 1:19 PM
Kimitsuki blinked at Mirja for a couple of seconds and chuckled softly; a surprisingly sweet sound. "They probably aren't much anyways... but, still. I suggest asking Hayden, without randomly bursting into his office, what they may be at some point. Again, it may be nothing more than what you already do; I'm not sure." She scratched he side of her head for a moment, yawning softly.
@Wan-Wan
Wan-Wan-Last Monday at 1:21 PM
Mirja turned a bit, awkward at that point "Mmm, Hayden. I'm giving him space right now. As much as I can while still remaining in Africa. I messed up and now I think he wants my rib-cage as a decoration"
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Last Monday at 1:24 PM
Kimitsuki scratched the side of her head and sighed "ah. Well, I see. What did you do? Burst into his office one too many times?"
@Wan-Wan
Wan-Wan-Last Monday at 1:24 PM
"Worse. I tried Diplomacy" @darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Last Monday at 1:26 PM
Kimitsuki sighed softly "Oh... I assume you fell on your face and pissed him off... I think I actually felt the energy Hayden was exerting that day.. makes sense then. Did you try to apologize to him at all? Frankly I would think you'd get even more hell from The Head Captain Ibiki."
@Wan-Wan
Wan-Wan-Last Monday at 1:30 PM
"Ibiki-hell is still pending. As for Hayden, no. He told me to get out of his office, I got out of his office. It's like bumping into something and hearing a crash behind you. You know it's going to be bad, but if you don't look, you can convince yourself it's fine"
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Last Monday at 3:15 PM
Kimitsuki chuckled softly and then nodded "I understand. Would you like me to put a word in for you; or would you rather I didn't get involved?" she keeps her legs crossed and now crossed her arms after speaking
@Wan-Wan
Wan-Wan-Last Monday at 3:19 PM
Mirja smiled and got up, replacing the drinks in a flash, having some on standby in case she got this far "Really, I'll take any help I can get, to be honest"
darkfunnel-Last Monday at 3:21 PM
Kimitsuki nodded softly "I'll see what I can do, but, this is your mess, so, I may be unable to do all that much."
Wan-Wan-Last Monday at 3:24 PM
"It is. Prime reason why I just stick to punching things. But no, I thought I could actually do something else. Show people I'm more than just a walking pair of fists. And of course I screw it up. Tremendously"
darkfunnel-Last Monday at 3:29 PM
Kimitsuki sighed softly and looked at Mirja "You can't just jump into something else and expect immediate results. You'll need to actually practice the stuff before you can even get to actually doing it well. Like, with punching, you probably practiced it at somepoint and now you need to do the same with something else; nothing comes to everyone immediately."
Wan-Wan-Last Monday at 3:33 PM
Mirja giggled softly "I recall telling you something similar, once. Ahh, but I just wanted to do something different. I didn't give any thought to it, I just thought 'I'm great with people, I can do this diplomacy thing!' but I forgot to factor in that people are less friendly when it's formal"
darkfunnel-Last Monday at 3:34 PM
Kimitsuki sighed softly "Yes... but the thing about diplomacy is that you can't just outright do it on your own. Even if you had the correct material and such; you would need officials giving you their acceptance." she sighed softly and rubbed her left temple with her left hand.
Wan-Wan-Last Monday at 3:39 PM
"I'll just give up on diplomacy and see what happens. If all else fails, I can always just dig a hole and hide. So, on a topic where I am still actually allowed here, slash sane, do you want to learn something cool?"
darkfunnel-Last Monday at 3:41 PM
Kimitsuki raised an eyebrow slightly and then sighed "Uhm, sure...? I don't exactly know how this would be "cool" though... What is it?"
Wan-Wan-Last Monday at 3:45 PM
Mirja spawned one of her Six Guns of Black Heaven, the thick arm sprouting from her shoulder, reaching across the table to boop Kimitsuki on the head, despite it being out of arm's reach "It's called a Tulpa. Basically, a mental construct embossed into the physical world"
darkfunnel-Last Monday at 3:47 PM
Kimitsuki raised an eyebrow and watched as the arm edged closer. Before it could bonk her on the head she moved her head back a little; being just outside of it's teach. "I see. Interesting. Where did you obtain this? Or is it related to your skills?"
Wan-Wan-Last Monday at 3:51 PM
Mirja looked to the arm, and grinned "I....sort discovered, sorta created it. Some guy made a theory, but never completed it. And this, is the end result of that theory in practice"
darkfunnel-Last Monday at 3:52 PM
Kimitsuki raised an eyebrow "Ya know, could disperse some of this stuff to other places if you want; could be a good way to arm Vastime troops even more. But, your call. Only a suggestion." she yanwed softly, covering her mouth in the process
Wan-Wan-Last Monday at 3:54 PM
"It's difficult to learn, but I did send out some leflets and such around the place that I was opening training sessions for anyone who wanted to come by and learn"

Wan-Wan-Last Wednesday at 1:59 PM
"Like, maybe, you? It'd be interested to see what came from you when you enforced your thoughts on the real world" @darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Last Wednesday at 2:03 PM
Kimitsuki raised an eyebrow slightly "What do you mean? I already enforce what is ideal to me; my Fire." She summons some of her Fire with a flick of her right wrist; the flame dancing in the palm of her right hand "by summoning these flames I am enforcing my thoughts; my concept. I am unsure what I could do with that."
@Wan-Wan
Wan-Wan-Last Wednesday at 2:07 PM
"Then it is entirely possible you summon some crazy ass Flamethrower that links you and your Conceptual World and allows you to go on an unequaled pyromanical spree across the entire world. For Science" @darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Last Wednesday at 2:08 PM
Kimitsuki sighed softly "Mirja. I am not a pyromaniac." She shook her head "that's also extremely irresponsible to do so with my powers." She sighs once more and pops her neck.
@Wan-Wan
Wan-Wan-Last Wednesday at 2:11 PM
Grinning broadly, Mirja leaned in to look more closely at Kimitsuki "Ohh? I don't think I can believe someone who can set fire to whatever they want when ever they want doesn't get a little tingle up their spine when something goes fwoosh. Or it is, the ease of it that steals the pleasure? Like eating your favoirate food till you are sick of it?" @darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Last Wednesday at 2:13 PM
Kimitsuki stared directly into Mirja's eyes; not wavering as fire seemed to radiate from her eyes. "No. I am Fire, it makes no sense for me to be excited over myself. You misjudge me, Mirja." She continues to stare into her eyes, saying no more for a time; not playing Mirja's game.
@Wan-Wan
Wan-Wan-Last Wednesday at 2:15 PM
Mirja pouted, but then gave a sultry grin "Well, I excite myself, so I thought others could share such a feeling. But, if it isn't you that excitement comes from, I can always help you on that front. I am known to be a very....exciting, girl" Mirja was clearly getting into the whole flirting again, but hopefully, Kimitsuki would not react poorly, remembering how Mirja told her about this earlier @darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Last Wednesday at 2:20 PM
Kimitsuki sighed softly and continued to stare into her eyes before she shook her head "exciting or not, you do not excite me. I am glad to be your, "friend", however; I do wish that you try to keep the flirting to a minimum." She grinned for moment before sighing and bopping Mirja's nose with her left hand. "You should get a leash for yourself, Mirja. You could get burned." She yawned softly.

[The Tundra]
Caprificus-Last Wednesday at 2:25 PM
Among certain things, there always was the evitable call to action which Hayden had to make. Be it with his subdordinates the the officials from some far off nation. It was the reason that Desmond Hayden had walked into the tundra bearing nothing but his traditional shinigami robes, the floral koi and water pattern which traced them depicting a darkened by vibrant scenerary. The lukewarm hazel eyes looking towards the two females, his eyes narrowing briefly as the scar which was spread around his nose creased before relaxing. He would take a seat at a table tapping his knuckles on the table.
darkfunnel-Last Wednesday at 2:26 PM
@Wan-Wan
Wan-Wan-Last Wednesday at 2:30 PM
Mirja nodded and smiled at Kimi "Sorry. Force of habit. But you know, for someone as hot as you are, you sure can shut a girl down cold, huh? And I could get a collar, add a cute little leash to it. But would you hold the handle?" She then saw Hayden walk in, and got up, skating over to him on her specially made skates. Usually, they'd probably collapse within a few moments, but these were reinforced to holy hell "Nice outfit. Can I get you anything? Food, or drink? Got some interesting new coca beans from a oceanic city" @Caprificus @darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Last Wednesday at 2:34 PM
Kimitsuki sighed softly and then looked over towards the man "no I wouldn't. You would have to tie it to a wall to hold yourself back." She shook her head and looked over at Hayden; waving a single hand at him without a word. She crossed her legs and relaxed a little more when Mirja left her table; tending to Hayden.
@Wan-Wan @Caprificus
Caprificus-Last Wednesday at 2:38 PM
"I came as a courtsey away from the office." The male commented in a slow measured voice, the low tone which he exhibited was the natural voice of Hayden. However, his eyes had not come up as he stare forward, his hand resting within his clothing and his left hand on his zanpakatou idly. It would be at this time his eyes would lift to look at Mirja, the lukewarm hazel eyes with an almost suffocating focus. "You needed a warning, not from your commanding officer, not from Yamamoto. You needed a warning from a shinigami." His voice let out an almost breathlessly tone leaning forward jsut briefly. "Why am I here, Eeola?"
@darkfunnel @Wan-Wan
Wan-Wan-Last Wednesday at 2:49 PM
Mirja grinned broadly at Kimitsuki and splayed her hands "You know, you find a wall that can stand up to me, and I'll tie a leash to it" She replied, before cocking her head. "Why does that sound like Fenrir's deal to the Aesir?" she muttered, before looking at Hayden. He was here for not cafe business. Great. "So, in my general manner that is undoubtly going to offend you because fuck, that's all I seem to be good for these days, but here goes. You are not the first, not the last, that is coming to me telling me that i am a self-destructive, maniacal bitch with no regard for herself or others and all the rest. I get it, ok? I know. I'm like an Internal Combusion Engine. So outdated nobody - including myself - knows how to fix me. People have ideas, but nobody actually tries anything. So there I sit, surrounded by theories, and plans, and ideals. Nobody wants to try for fear of making it worse, or breaking it completely. It's better nobody cares for me because I'm a mess that isn't work the time and effort, patience and resolve that would be needed to see if there is anything salvageable behind the sarcastic, over-sexualized exterior" @darkfunnel @Caprificus(edited)
"So, we have a special on blueberry muffins. Two-fer"
darkfunnel-Last Wednesday at 2:51 PM
Kimitsuki whistled softly and popped her neck, relaxing more as she simply listened, not getting involved in what Hayden was doing. After a little bit, Kimitsuki stood up and walked over to a table nearby; sitting down and simply minding her own business as she listened to Hayden and Mirja; not wanting to intrude on their talk. She sighed softly and simply listened to Hayden and Mirja still; hearing Mirja describe herself in a way that caused an eyebrow to raise from Kimitsuki. She sighed softly and simply listened still.
@Wan-Wan @Caprificus
Caprificus-Last Wednesday at 2:58 PM
Hayden listened his eyes never leaving the mad woman, instead once she finished he would allow a moment to pass before opening his mouth to speak. "I do not care for that. I came to offer only a word of warning." He advised sitting up everly so slightly as his hand rested on the table. "However you view yourself is not my concern, what is my concern is your attitude. If you ever, in this life or the next, enter my office and make the demands you did- the threats you made. I will kill you, Mirja Eeola. If you have some suicidal notion or simply do not care then it is best you leave my military before you get not jsut yourself killed but anyone in contact with you." At this point the man would stand up looking to her then to Kimitsuki, before resting his gaze on Mirja. "My job isnt to be your therapist, the fact of the matter is you have shown an unwillingness to adapt to our life style and is borderline making the living situation for other Vastimians dangerious. Reports aside, shitty discipline aside, if you cannot or will not try to solve this problem then we will for you: sometimes it's better to remove the cancer before it becomes terminal." The sharp contrast of the words which escaped the man wasn't out of anger but pure truth, this was a man placing someone on their final leg before something bad may happen.
"I stand for my people, you are one of them while you bare out crest. But, if you disgrace that crest like you did previously, if you do not improve be it through your friends or comrades made here- consequences will happen. Remove the self pity and attempt to improve yourself; it's not that you can't its what you do not want to change."
darkfunnel-Last Wednesday at 3:05 PM
@Wan-Wan
Wan-Wan-Last Wednesday at 3:11 PM
Many a quip, retort, and venemous reply danced behind Mirja's eyes, but none made them out, she simply spoke plainly, and shortly "Well, if that is what you came to say, then I thank you for your wise council. Now, do you want something from my cafe, or am I free to leave?" @Caprificus @darkfunnel
Caprificus-Last Wednesday at 3:13 PM
"I never kept you here." The man replied unyielding in his decree to the girl, having firmly let her known just where they stood in terms of their professional and personal relationship. While enemies was too strong a term she had by no means could be accounted among the trusted allies of Hayden. @darkfunnel @darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Last Wednesday at 3:14 PM
Kimitsuki sighed softly as she listened, Hayden indeed was right; Mirja was far too lost in herself to even want to change. She popped her neck and, as Hayden stood, she looked towards him and locked eyes with him; giving him a sharp nod and a subtle salute, even if he was not here in Vastime duty. She was still his friend and subordinate; she was not going to show this man disrespect after he had taken her into Vastime. She simply continued to stay sitting; her form flashing to that of her Vastime uniform, momentarily, before she returned to normal and simply listened. She just listened, not wanting to interfere now that Hayden was here. However, she likely would not stay after he left; she had no intention of staying for long. Kimitsuki looked at Hayden and sighed softly before she softly spoke "Sir..." she halted herself and simply sighed; waiting still.
@Caprificus @Wan-Wan
Wan-Wan-Last Wednesday at 3:17 PM
Mirja nodded and turned to leave, wordlessly. There was a chill in the air, such that the windows of her shop were glazed with ice. This phenomena would go unexplained, however, as Mirja left the shop, and a few minutes later, the country itself. There was little doubt she would be back, a Wolf had few dens, after all, but for now, she was nowhere to be found

Caprificus-Last Wednesday at 3:20 PM
"Yes?" He asked turning to face Kimitsuki, his hand resting on his Zanpakatou idly more of a habit it seemed one which was insitlled into him. "We are at too crucial of a point to pander to every lost soul that refuses to change. To remain stagnant." He sighed his free hand coming to rub his neck as a visible lost of tension left his body.
Wan-Wan-Last Wednesday at 3:20 PM
(Not like it's her livelihood. It's a hobby for her, not a job)
darkfunnel-Last Wednesday at 3:31 PM
Kimitsuki put a hand on Hayden's shoulder "I understand that. I have barely any concern with Mirja; she is my subordinate, in a sense. But, I have to wonder; are you okay? I'm not sure what occurred after all. And excuse my touch; as this is more casual I assume it is okay-enough."
@Caprificus
Kimitsuki soon sighed and removed her hand from Hayden's shoulder, sighing softly. "Have to hope that she tries to improve; otherwise you'll have a dead wolf on your hands." She yawns softly and pops her neck.
Caprificus-Last Wednesday at 3:42 PM
"Me?" He questioned only briefly shaking his head as a laughed escaped his lips. "I'll be ok, nothing I can't handle. When the lives of over a billion people rest in the choices you make, sometimes things can be crazy. But- I don't let myself ever forget why I did this. It's a lonely, thankless job but it's one I happily took." He explained to the redhead giving her hand a small pat before she took it off his shoulders. "Mirja Eeola has a lot to learn in regards to life, but so do we all."
darkfunnel-Last Wednesday at 3:49 PM
Kimitsuki sighed softly and nodded slightly "even the oldest of us are still learning." She smiled slightly and then chuckled at the fact that she was referring to herself. She sighed softly and then looked at Hayden after a time "would you like to get something to drink or eat? I didn't exactly drink or eat much while I was here. I guess... trying to make peace with Mirja is appropriate; though I do wonder if she will return." She yawned softly and looked into Hayden's eyes "Hayden, everything is crazy these days it seems. We just need to find that small solace of sanity from time to time."

Caprificus-Last Wednesday at 4:50 PM
Hayden would remain still as she looked into his hazel eyes, they say eyes are gateways into the soul. Thus she might see something behind those darkened orbs, something akin to a saddened darkness within them. However, beyond that there was the machinations of something more something with purpose within them. But at that moment Hayden would shift his gaze away the sun tanned skin seemingly to become a shade darker- or maybe it was the reflection of the sun. Who knew? "I suppose I could use something to drink." He paused sighing lifting his head up. "I have no idea where to find that solace, it's almost impossible from a position like this. It grinds at you." He admitted beginning to shift towards a seat to sit down. @darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Last Wednesday at 5:01 PM
Kimitsuki chuckled softly after he broke his gaze; barely noticing what was in his eyes. She sighed softly and walked to the back of the cafe, coming out a bit later with a couple bottles. She placed them down and then took a seat opposing Hayden. She nodded grimly at what Hayden said "I understand... frankly I am unsure where that solace is either; lately I have been unable to find it either. Simple meditation would do so, but, now it no longer works." She sighed softly and opened the bottle with her right hand, popping off the top. She took a drink and sighed once more; tasting the familiar flavor of alcohol. "But... some things have helped, other things have not. Drinking the occasional beer or scotch helps a little but I never get drunk." She sighs softly and puts her left hand on her head, looking at Hayden wondering what he may say.
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Last Wednesday at 5:36 PM
"I throw myself into my work, my advisors suggest that doing so may prove detremental to my mental health- but it's what I've always done." He explained his hand grasping the bottle lifting it up as he examined it, it was damn near impossible for the man to get drunk due to the way which his body was set up. A side effect of death matter. It seems Wolf Lionus still affected his life to this day. "Few people understand the position I'm in, even fewer bother to ask about it. Doesn't make for the most sentimental conversation material. The damaged soldier is just that, a soldier- people rarely can relate to that." He chuckled grimly lifting the bottle to his lips, the smooth alcoholic taste providing a small warmth throughout his body which was then extingished just as quick as it came. "It's a lonely life, best to not dwell on those thoughts."
@darkfunnel

darkfunnel-Yesterday at 10:41 AM
Kimitsuki followed him for a bit before he arrived to sit down across from them; this caused Kimitsuki to subconsciously lean back onto Hayden's shoulder. She yawned softly and then chuckled as Henrex said he hadn't had alcohol for hundreds of years. She sat up, no longer leaning on Hayden, and sliding some of the Mjord towards Henrex. "Yessssssssss I am drunk; Don't worry about it!! Just take a sip; you'll be fiiiiiiiiiiine" She smiles at him and then leans back in her seat, not leaning on Hayden again this time.
@Henrex @Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 10:57 AM
"You are such a tease." He muttered to Kimitsuki letting the comment float for a bit before turning to Henrex, letting out a cough to draw his attention. "That's powerful stuff, I'd recommend something lighter from the rack. You drink that and you'll be worse then me or her." He chuckled sitting up slightly resting his arm behind the wooden back of the their seat, facing Kimitsuki. "We where just talking about the reputation Kimi had during basic training- your surprior was highly sought after." He teased to Henrex keeping the slightly heavy coffee colored eyes trained on her, a sly smile on his lips.
Caprificus-Yesterday at 11:01 AM
@Henrex @darkfunnel
Henrex-Yesterday at 11:10 AM
Closing his eyes and shaking his head, as well as putting a hand up, Henrex was clearly uninterested in drink as of now. "I cannot let my performance falter, even for such a short time." He knew that there was quite the large amount of mixtures in that bottle, the smell of the stuff burning his nose in a single instant. So, he knew that he would most likely not be partaking in that drink. As for the comment on Kimitsuki's reputation? Well, there was his own little comment that he would keep to himself...mostly. "She was highly sought after...outside of basic training, from...what I know." After saying this, the gaze that he held with the two became more hardened than ever, for some strange reason, along with his eyes seeming to subtly avoid Kimitsuki.(edited)

(Wonder what Kimitsuki has to say, he actually called her by a nick name lol)
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 11:28 AM
Kimitsuki stuck his tongue out at Hayden playfully, not meaning anything besides being playful. She then nodded her head and quickly pushed the Mjord away from Henrex. "G-Good point. S-sorry, wasssn't thinking about that hic" she yawned softly and simply nodded at what Hayden stated about her being 'sought after'. "It's true... m-many -- hich -- men were chasing after me; part of it was becuase of my body. Most of it actually. A guy got a broken arm because of trying to grop me once... which I regret..." she rubbed her right eye and trained her gaze on Hayden for a moment, who was looking at her, before she looked back towards Henrex. Tilting her head as she looked at him. Kimitsuki stared at him for a couple of seconds and raised her eyebrow; not stating anything on what Henrex stated.
@Caprificus @Henrex
Caprificus-Yesterday at 11:40 AM
"Performance- stand ready when asked otherwise feel free to indulge in some pleasure least your life ends up confined." He mused to the man before sitting up looking to Henrex with a light smile, completely different from the usual stern look upon his face. "You seem to know a bit, care to share?" He inquired, perceptive as always despite the slightly tipsy nature. "That incident was resolved thankfully." He explained shifting to rest his forearms on the table. "But- I am simply a fellow civilian to day- regard me as such. With valentines day coming up I will once again find myself either spending it alone or perhaps doing something else. Hopefully."

Kimitsuki rubbed her right eye for a moment before she resumed staring at Henrex sighing softly and leaning back into her chair once more; simply wondering what exactly he was referring to. She simply sighed and shrugged at the comment Henrex had made and simply releaxed some; stuck in her drunken stupor. She looked at Hayden as he spoke to Henrex, mentioning that the incident had been taken care of; despite the man likely having a near completely shattered arm. She scratched the side of her head lightly and sighed, simply remaining silent as her gaze fell to the table; simply listening.
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 12:30 PM
The deflation of Kimitsuki and silence of Henrex shifted Hayden's eyes to the two before he lifted his hand up patting the forearm of Kimi before crossing his arms idly. "Kimi, the drink finally wearing off?" He joked lightly letting out a yawn, the warmth around him allowing him to relax which emitted from her naturally. "We talked about me, but what about you/ How have you been emotonally?"
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 12:36 PM
Kimitsuki placed a hand on his arm "Noooot hic even slightly... I'm still drunk off my ass... I think..." she rubbed her eyes and removed her hand from Hayden's arm again as he spoke. She looked towards him and shrugged "Fine... I guess..." she rubbed the back of her neck "I really don't know." Kimitsuki sighed softly and popped her neck subconsciously, simply looking at Hayden and waiting for what he may say

Henrex-Yesterday at 1:11 PM
As the two conversed, Henrex had found himself in a state where he had accidentally drowned out the world around him. He registered the word that were being spoken, but his mind was elsewhere, and he was unable to answer. As his mind returned to the usual state, he nodded slightly to Hayden, before sighing. "I...If you insist, sir." As this was said, the boy's hand would reach into a hole in the air that would appear as purple and black in color, before pulling out a small canteen. "I've had this stored in my inner world for a while. It's just some sake that I've had in there for a long time. It never went bad, so it should be fine to drink....I hope. But -- what do you mean by...I know a bit, sir?" As this was said, Henrex would open the canteen, before gently tipping the container backwards. The mixture of sweetness of the rice and the bitterness of the wine that was in it struck his tongue with a flurry of different thoughts and reactions. It truly had been a while since he had something like this. It was a tad bit refreshing, and it wasn't all bad to introduce the taste of sake to his body once again. But...There was still something his mind was on.(edited)
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 1:12 PM
( @Caprificus go ahed and reply before Kimitsuki, she's kinda starting to fall out of it via drunkness x3 )

( OK, now to wait for responses...Hopefully before I get in the doctor's office. )
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 1:25 PM
"You spoke as if you knew something, so I inquired as to what." He replied in an open manner shifting his weight as he watched Henrex summon the sake. He let a small smirk glance his lips before looking to Kimi, who seemed to be fading off. "Maybe however, Kimi shiould head to where she is staying- you looked rather tired you need to head home?" He asked cautiously.
@Henrex @darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 1:27 PM
Unknowingly, Kimitsuki accidentally started to lean against Hayden once more; looking incredibely drunk as her face was red and her breath would certainly smell of it. She yawned and raised her right arm, almost as if she was protesting "nuuuuuuuu!! I don't -- hic-hic -- need to go to -- hic -- sleep yeet!!" The rest of what she said was lost in mumbles as she said something about "Liu" and something about "love". Of course, it would be hard to tell whether she was referring to loving Liu, even though she barely knows her; or if she was refferring to the fact that Kimitsuki has no idea what love feels like.
@Caprificus @Henrex
Caprificus-Yesterday at 2:35 PM
"You are literally off your rocker.." He teased lightly bringing his hand to rest behind her tricep, the calloused fingers showcasing years of turmoil and training to form the man behind them. His body tilted with his head shifting downward so he could look at her face, letting a calm smile go onto his face before shifting to sit back up. "Liu?" He asked curiously enough as if waiting for some explanation, out of curiousity.
Henrex-Yesterday at 2:39 PM
( Will be responding soon. )
( Go ahead @darkfunnel )
Henrex-Yesterday at 4:09 PM
"I...have a small habit of making notes on a few members of Vastime. Namely Kimi and Mirja. Mirja because she's a troublemaker most of the time, and Kimi because she's...interesting." Staring at the top of his canteen for a moment, before wiping his mouth off, Henrex would put the lid back on the container, before sighing and walking over to Kimitsuki. "Kimi. Look me in the eyes."
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 4:10 PM
Unfortunately, Kimitsuki was too far gone at this point to even give an explanation; she truthfully was so far in her drunken stupor that she just stopped speaking since some part of her knew she wasn't going to make sense. Soon enough, a dragon made from fire and bones emerged from the air next to her and sighed softly. "Don't mind Kimitsuki... she thinks this 'Liu' may be able to help her find out what 'love' actually is; though I can't tell if she truly does like her or not. She may chock it up to be so to fool herself into either thinking she does. If she really does though, hm, I am not sure." Kagutsuchi looked at Hayden and waved a clawed, four fingered, scaly hand that seemed like it wasn't really waving. Kimitsuki tapped the dragon lightly and then looked into Henrex's eyes; her own eyes completely unfocused. She was clearly drunk of her rocker and likely needed sleep. Kagutsuchi yawned loudly and confirmed this "She just needs sleep." He glares at Henrex "I suggest you do nothing, child. She's too drunk to even register what is going on now"(edited)

Caprificus-Yesterday at 4:34 PM
"That's new." Those words left Hayden's mouth as the dragon emerged and began his abrupt explanation on Kimitsuki and Liu, causing Hayden to nod briefly as his lips pursed slightly before hsi face relaxed. It might've been best to start to file out, such as the life of Hayden. "Maybe we should end this encounter then, I am feeling rather tipsy and Kimi does need sleep- and water. Lots of water." He mused slight as a easy smile spread across the lips of Hayden as he watched Henrex. "Mirja may not make her face known for some time. It's better this way if they cannot learn to understand the ways of Vastime." He commented closing his eyes with a sigh. "If she cannot respect what we have established- what I established then it is best she does not stay. Perhaps she will learn on her own."
@Henrex @darkfunnel
Henrex-Yesterday at 4:38 PM
As Kimi's eyes would pass over his, Henrex's hand would raise from his side, hovering in front of her face for a few seconds. As this action would occur, her eyes would begin to dilate several times, before being pushed into a comforting slumber. Sighing gently, and patting the girl's head, Henrex would return to his seat. His eyes lowered slightly at the comment of Mirja not making her face known for a time. With that, Henrex would shake his head gently, before pulling his hood back up. "I do hope it is quick that she learns. I don't want something bad to happen to her, despite of what she's done, both to me and in general. I...suppose that this should come to a close. It was nice to speak with you, sir. Until the next time, it seems."
Kimitsuki felt the hand in front of her face, an instinct screaming at her to get the fuck away; which she did, basically yanking herself from Hayden's grasp and moving away from Henrex's hand; basically throwing herself into a wall behind them. She was fine, but, the wall was a little singed. Kagutuschi nipped Henrex's hand "I told you to do nothing, fool. She's operating on instincts; I'd rather her not see the work she has put into controlling her fire wasted." The dragon growled at Henrex before he ended the growling and glided over to Kimitsuki; the heat of his body calming her some. He then gestured to Hayden with his boney head "Mind helping me? I could carry her when she was younger, but, now I can do no such thing." Kagutsuchi looked at Kimitsuki as the kido did have some effect; not knocking her out completely but definitely putting her into a half-consciousness state. Kagutsuchi pointed his muzzle towards Henrex and growled at him "I suggest you think before simply flaunting your abilities around. She may be your comrade, and she yours, but I will not hesitate to rip your skull off; Boy. I do not care if you meant well; doing anything like what you just tried would be a bad idea. She likes you, I don't want to end you anyways." Kagutsuchi snorted, smoke coming from his nose as he started to try and get Kimitsuki on his back. He then looked at Hayden and sighed softly; at least it sounded so. "I understand what it is like to be a parent; I may as well be this ones sometimes, with how I feel about Kimitsuki. I've been with her since she was born; kept her safe until she could do it herself... I am glad to know she has a friend like you." he growled and continued to try and pick up Kimitsuki. "after we get out of this shop, I can handle the rest, I just can't carry her at this size"(edited)

Caprificus-Yesterday at 4:57 PM
Hayden watched the scene with interest uncharateristic of his currently groggy self from the alcohol, it was extremely cohert all things considered. So he would begin to shift to his feet slowly looking to Henrex shaking his head amused at the male actions before striding slowly and carefully to Kimitsuki. "Sounds good, dragon. Be careful with my friends though- you hurt them then things might go down hill for us all." The playful words of his wasn't so much a threat as mild teasing of the whole situation as he approched Kimitsuki catiously looking to the dragon. "You need me to help get her home huh? Alright where is that- wait is she gonna run from me too...?" He asked curiously then looked to Henrex. "Farewell, Kid. Don't be so careless next time." He gave a slight thumbs up to Henrex letting a sheepish grin on his lips.
@darkfunnel @Henrex
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 5:04 PM
Kagutsuchi yawned and shook his head "No, she won't. There's truly nothing wrong with Henrex; he just set off something with her instincts that told her to get the fuck away. Dunno what it was though." Kagutsuchi looked at Hayden and shrugged; even though it looked more like his entire body moved up then went down "I wouldn't actually hurt him unless he hurt Kimitsuki; which he didn't. It just annoys me when people don't listen" With the help of Hayden he would be able to get her up, eventually, and help carry her. "It's actually pretty close to Vastime in general; though she normally sleeps in her office at least most of the time. I'll take you to it." Kagutsuchi looked at Hayden expectantly; basically to help him with Kimitsuki and get her home.
@Caprificus @Henrex
Henrex-Yesterday at 5:07 PM
Shaking his head gently at the dragon's response, Henrex simply drew his sword and slashed a hole into the fabric of space, creating what the Shinigami used for travel. -- The Senkaimon. Stepping through the black portal, Henrex pulled his hood up, and began to long journey to...home.(edited)
Caprificus-Yesterday at 5:09 PM
Hayden would take a step over to Kimitsuki and in one smooth motion he would have the woman in his arms, bridal style. She in comparison to his strength was as light as a feather, thus requiring not effort what so ever to carry the girl to her designated area. However, before he could depart he would wait for Henrex to speak if he intended to. His gaze would fall onto Kagutsuchi offering a frown. "Lead the way, I prefer she not sleep in her office. No friend of mine should have to do such, but I understand the workload which we have." He mused his frown tightening as he looked down at the almost meepish form of Kimitsuki, knowing she may very well fall asleep on the journey to her house in his arms.
@Henrex @darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 5:12 PM
Kagutsichi quickly turned to Henrex "OI, BOY." he glared at the Shinigami-Demon for a moment before sighing, the burning sockets that were basically eyes seemingly softening. "thank you for being her friend..." Afterwards he looked at Hayden and raised an 'eyebrow' "Better not touch her innapropriately" the comment was more of a teasing quip before he led the way out the Cafe. "I would also prefer she didn't either, but, she is commited to her duty; that and I think she had a lot of reports because of that Mirja fellow." Kagutuschi shrugged once more and led the way towards her house, beginning the trudge back to her house.

Henrex-Yesterday at 5:18 PM
As his foot was about to step into the void of the world in between, Henrex's ears perked at the voice of the dragon that had threatened him just moments before, he could hear the softening tone that it had turned to. His eyes closed, before nodding slowly, then stepping into the Senkaimon -- fully this time. All the while, Henrex only had one question to ask himself. Could he really be considered a friend to Kimitsuki? There were many reasons behind him asking himself that, but he wouldn't have been able to at that point. After all, the clamor of voices would pick up the instant the thought entered his mind. Different aspects of his mind, his alternate persona, and more would scream and argue from the thought of it -- both the good and bad parts of it. Sighing and disappearing both figuratively and literally upon entering the Senkaimon -- flash stepping forward at tremendous speeds -- he would then begin to head home in actuality now.
( Henrex: Kill me @ these voices )

Caprificus-Yesterday at 5:19 PM
"Never." Hayden told the dragon, almost in a sort of agreeing tone. But he soon cleared his throat as he began to make his way outside with the woman. "Well for now, let's focus on getting her home." He changed the subject, the fact of the matter was Kimitsuki was an attractive woman one which people might begin to gather ideas with the two seen together. But Kimitsuki was having her own conflicted feelings about Liu, why confuse what was already nice between her and Hayden? Such thoughts flow'd through Hayden head which would be noted by him somewhat distant gaze as he was directed by the dragon.
"Life has a weird way of working it's self out." He mused finally.
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 5:22 PM
Kagutsuchi chuckled at Hayden's retort and continued to lead the way, nodding in agreement as kept moving. He turned to Hayden at one point, his head looking abck as he continued to move forwards "Tell me, what do you think about Kimitsuki? I know she had some issues in that thing you called "basic training" but, she seemed to have gotten fiercer thanks to it. But, I do wonder what you think about her."
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 5:33 PM
Ah that question. The question which begged a bastard answer forcing him to look forward as he marched, his gaze drifting down to examine the soft features of Kimitsuki before his shoulders dropped. "That's a fair question, with a complicated answer." He explained as he looked at the dim street lights before forward again. "As her commander, I think she is a fine soldier who will grow to be a trusted comrade one day. I think she has the makings to one day become a leader among our people." He expressed the geuine appreciation in his voice leaking through before he turned his coffee color'd gaze to the dragon. "But when we get into how I feel as her friend, we get a little complicated don't we?" He laughed almost bitterly, similar to the aftertaste left by something sweet with a strong aftertaste. "I care about her, and I think this sums it up pretty good: All those fairy tales are full of shit." The way his voice faltered at the end wasn't an indication of weakness but of something much deeper, the swallowing of a pill called pride. "I care. More than I should and I got way too many cracks for that to be ok." He warned playing around the fact.
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 5:40 PM
Kagutscuhi sighed softly and nodded "Good. Then do try to protect her as best you can. Despite her being 1200 years of age, she has not experienced much, she does not know much; much of the world and what it is confused her and makes her curious. She listens to me, but, sometimes I can't always influence her. Much like fire she can be wild, but, she really listens to you and respects you greatly; maybe not as much as me, but, I can tell she would listen to much of what you may say. So, do this old dragon a favor and keep track of her for me? At least in the times I can't. Please." Kagutsuchi continued to look at Hayden for a moment before he turned around, still leading the way. "No. Caring is the best thing we can do as sentient beings; never think it is not okay."
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 5:47 PM
"Of course, that's a given." He agreed when it came to the watching over her, his shoulder straightening out slightly. "I suppose you may be right, but even then- for her own sake; I need to be careful how I precede." He challenged as they walked, his eyes closing briefly wondering why he was finally letting these words flow out. Maybe it was the whole ordeal with Mirja, perhaps it was the whole deal getting tipsy; things where just building and this release of pressure was needed. "It's not fair." He finally admitted, letting that slip out as his body visibly relax almost like a burden was lifted.
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 5:50 PM
Kagutsuchi looked at Hayden once more "What? Life? Or your duty? I have learned nothing is fair in this life; hell, Kimitsuki never felt she got a fair bit of anything until she fell in with Vastime. But, truthfully, what do you feel is so unfair? And we all must be careful in proceeding in anything in life." Kagutsuchi continued to look at Hayden as they continued forwards, simply waiting for an answer as he stared at the man who currently led an entire nation alone. He simply waited, and listened, to hear what this man might say to him.
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 5:59 PM
"A little of both." He commented with a slight smile shaking his head his gaze falling down to Kimitsuki again, admiring for a second just who she was to him. The moment however would pass as he looked to the dragon again. "I choose this life however, this duty. I established this. I lead Kimitsuki here- I distance myself from people. I let my ambition flourish. But now, now I see this inevitable conclusion coming. This wave of power shifting between shadowfall and Vastime." He mused softly before looking to Kimitsuki. "But I can't get this red head out of my head. I want to be honest, figure this out. But- it wouldn't be fair to her; to force such... things on her." He concluded closing his eyes.
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 6:05 PM
Kagutsuchi sighed softly *"She really is unsure what love is, and this Liu girl is seriously on her mind most of the time. She thinks that since she's another demon she'll understand; which she may not be wrong about that. Besides, if you were to tell you how you felt about her she may not be so rejective; she'll probably end up turning you down for your own sake instead of hers. That's how she is. She knows how important your duty is, and, I don't think she'd want to get in the way of what you do; even if she does like you back. Which is hard to tell for me. I can infer what she thinks at times but what is in her brain sometimes escapes my mind." The dragon sighed softly and then looked at Hayden inquisitively. "Then why get her out of your head? There is no point to simply push those thoughts aside; it makes no sense to me in truth. Just know, she is committed to her duty, as are you; and she would follow you into the pits of hell if it called for it. Oh, by the way; how the hell are you not drunk like Kimitsuki is?" The dragon raised an "eyebrow" genuinely wondering how he was not drunk and only tipsy

"My duty requires me to be the protector of earth, to make choices and decisions that will get hundreds if not millions killed." He sighed blinking before looking to the dragon, the coffee color'd eyes holding their own fire to them. It was the burning sensation of someone who cared much for what they did, one who refused to let the determination to fade into nothingness. "But I don't want her trying to protect me, I don't need that. I need someone who can bare this burden with me- some I can confide in who knows what is on the line." He spoke in an almost feverish tone before fading into a soft tone. "Maybe I shouldn't get her out my head, maybe I should learn to co-exist with both my duties and my people- with those I care about." He mused with an amused tone before a soft frown began to form on his lips. "That is a long story- one which Involves a man named Wolf Lionus. The bastard who gave me my greatest curse and strength- the bastard who connected me to death." The murderious tone which leaked out his voice seemed so calm and measured that his voice seemed to burrow into the skin of those who heard it. "I have within me Death, his essence courses through my body- it is what my body is now made of. This 'Death Matter' as it is called seeks to always change matter and energy into it's very form, making it extremely hard for me to actually be influenced by alcohol or any outside substance- useful for when someone is trying to poison or influence my energy. But- with my mastery over it now, I can sometimes hamper those effects; although never fully negate it." He sighed.

darkfunnel-Yesterday at 6:35 PM
Kagutsuchi sighed softly and looked at Hayden for a couple of seconds before he turned around "I suggest giving her time... I don't know much about Liu, but apparently she is a tough cookie when it comes to even getting close to her. Buut, do give her time; and do try to coexist. I can't give absolutes, but, don't give up on her. Despite being her age, and knowing so much, there are times where I feel like I am looking at the girl I found myself bound to 1200 years ago; not knowing what is around her or what is happening. Clueless." he chuckled and continued to lead the way until the arrived at a house and Kagutsuchi eased the door open; letting Hayden enter first. "Interesting. Kimitsuki was once interested about getting Death Energy, but, getting it is far too risky due to what she may have to do. However, she seems to have abandoned it for now; doesn't make sense for her to have it anymore as well." He yawned "Follow me, her room's upstairs." He glides up some stairs nearby, looking from the top of the stairs, staring at Hayden; waiting for him to follow.(edited)
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 6:44 PM
"It's not worth it." He commented referring to the death energy but once in their house he would begin to make his way up the stairs. "I hope she doesn't get too hurt. She has a big heart." He sighed looking for her room before back to the dragon. "Maybe I won't give up on her." He commented his jaw closing a bit firmly but not overly so, the warmth in his belly from the alcohol feeling ever present.
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 6:50 PM
Kagutsuchi nodded softly "I suggest you not. Not give up that is. And she rarely gets hurt because she avoids fights and confrontations; the last time she did was with a crazy Iramasha and, well, let's just say he's a statue now. Didn't help she was straight up distraught about it." he sighed softly and gestured to a door, the door to Kimitsuki's room, and opened the door for Hayden. He showed him into a rather simple room; some decorations that were mainly fire related. Kagutsuchi floated above her bed and waited for Hayden.
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 6:56 PM
Hayden would stride over to the bed, before beginning to kneel down slightly to place her on the bed. His rough hands gripping the soft sheets to begin to pull it up, looking to the dragon as a yawn escaped the warrior's lips. "I suppose I should go now, depart and such."
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 7:00 PM
Kagutsuchi sighed "if you wish. But, I suggest remaining. It is late and I've no idea how to care for a drunk person." Seemingly on its own, Kimitsuki's hand grabbed the sleeve on Hayden's left arm as she was put down; yet she quickly let it go as she was in a full slumber.
Caprificus-Yesterday at 7:09 PM
Hayden briefly stopped all motion as she grabbed his sleeve, his hand resting on the bed as the corners of his lips began to lift into a soft smile. It was a thoughtful smile as he shifted to look at the dragon. "I will fetch her water, she will be thirsty- ideally I could have gotten her some water tonight." He explained beginning to depart to the kitchen to fetch the items to prevent a hang over.
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 7:21 PM
Kagutsuchi gave off a soft chuckle as he watched Hayden go downstairs. "Alright. Mind bringing a lot; and a bucket? I dunno if she may puke or not. I have no idea, frankly." the dragon shrugged and watched Hayden leave the room to go and get some water from the kitchen. In the meantime, Kagutsuchi watched over Kimitsuki and soothed her with the heat of his own fire.
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 7:32 PM
Hayden would've heeded those words, although it would take him a bit to return mostly due to not knowing the layout of her house. It would be this very reason he'd search around the kitchen before eventually finding a bucket that was mused for mopping- it would make for a decent puke bucket it that came to it. He'd also return with two more glasses of water before placing them next to her nightstand. At this point he'd take a seat next to her watching her wondering what he should do next, but for now he would enjoy the heat which the two emitted. "She does sleep peacefully." He mused.
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 7:34 PM
Kagutsuchi simply waited for Hayden to return, notdding at him as he did return and then chuckling at her comment. "Indeed. When she gets into a deep sleep it is very hard to wake her; even shouting doesn't wake her up. Danger from energy sources will, but, that's rare due to where we live; considering." He yawned softly and continued to float above the girl "Hopefully she does not puke, but, she may wake up in a little bit; I am unsure."
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 7:36 PM
"Let's hope she doesn't." He sighed gingerly reaching his hand out, not looking to the dragon knowing full well he'd feel if he was doing something wrong. But it would come to rest on her hair, stroking it softly and caressing it just as he did earlier within The Tundra. He'd let out a small sigh one which seemed to relax him, his mind drifting to many things varying from his next move on the global stance- along with the words he shared with her dragon,
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 7:40 PM
Kagutsuchi yawned and curled up next to Kimitsuki, on top of a surface that was flame-retardant. Kimitsuki twitched in her sleep as Hayden stroked her hair, a soft sigh coming from her as she relaxed a little more. Kagutsuchi looked at Hayden and chuckled softly "You'd be surprised, but, she actually loves that hair. I don't know why, but, ever since she was young she has loved it." He chuckled softly and yawned again.
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 7:44 PM
"It's very pretty." He admitted allowing his hand to run through it softly, lifting it ever so slightly before dropping it carefully. The care which he handled it was such a strange contrast- a week ago he was battling someone releasing titantic feats of strength, now he simply wished to show earnest affection through carefully placed strokes. If this world was nothing else, it revolved around the contrast of strength and gentleness, making it very much important to him.
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 7:46 PM
Kagutuschi chuckled at Hayden, "you really do like her, huh? I don't blame you. I'm pretty sure half of those recruits that wanted to be with her in basic-training admire her quite a bit; of course, I don't even know most of them." He chuckled as Kimitsuki yanwed and simply slept, for now, her system taking care of the alcohol; thanks to her body manipulation she was slowly getting better, but, it wasn't as good as Hayden's Death Matter.
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 7:50 PM
"There's a difference between lust, admiration, affection, and love." He explained carefully, his words measured and tone'd in a thoughtful way- the voice of a leader. Even now, the reason people followed Hayden was not due to his overwhelming power but simply due to the determination and skill he displayed. It was being transfered into this moment as he began to explain. "They lusted for her, admired her even. Admittably, perhaps I lust for her a bit but that would only be a small drop in the ocean.." He paused almost as if the next words coming out of his mouth where increasingly important, as if they where more so for his own well being. "...a drop compared to the amount of affection and admiration I have for this fire-born warrior."
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 7:53 PM
Kagutsuchi chuckled softly and sighed softly "Maybe if she learns what love is, she may consider you, but, I have no idea what she may do; she is quite literally unpredictable. But, stay close to her and don't let her go; she trusts you enough that it will be hard for her to ever doubt you." Kagutsuchi yawned again and put his head down, falling asleep. Soon after he did, Kimitsuki's eyes fluttered open and she got up slowly, rubbing her head as Kagutsichi woke up for a moment to crawl up her arm and then curl around her neck; faling asleep again. Kimitsuki looked at Hayden "H-Hello H-Hayden... wh-why are you in my house and my rooom...? Not only that, but, when... when did we get here?"(edited)
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 8:10 PM
As time passed Hayden had actually fallen asleep a wee bit, his hand having rested in her hair with one final clump of hair resting on his hands. However, as he heard her voice he would blink slightly looking down at her with slightly tired hazelnut color'd eyes. A small spread on his lips at the slight stammer as he replied in a even manner. "Kagutsuchi asked me to bring you home, you where pretty sleepy from the mead- he asked me to stay to take care of you." He explained softly before adding a sheepish smile. "You also grabbed at my arm as I tried to place you in bed- so I thought it would be better I stayed made sure you didn't get too hung over."
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 8:16 PM
Kimitsuki sighed softly and pat Kagutsuchi; who was currently around her neck. She watched Hayden carefully and then sighed; still a little tipsy but, she was certainly not going to be falling asleep again soon. She sighed softly once more and then looked into Hayden's eyes "Thank you... Hayden. Are you sure you wouldn't rather sleep? I'd rather you not over exert yourself over me."
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 8:21 PM
"I'll be fine, Kimi." He chuckled giving a thumbs up to the woman before suddenly realizing a crucial fact. "You should probably drink the water I got you, it'll help prevent a major hang over." He explained motioning to the three cups of water on the desk.
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 8:23 PM
Kimitsuki reached for a cup and took one of them; drinking the cup slowly and sighing softly. She pushed her boots off of her feet; revealing her feet and parts of her shins, calves, and all of her ankles. She brought her legs onto the bed and took slowly sips. "Thanks... Will you be alright though? I think you drank more than I did"
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 8:27 PM
"Ah I explained to your dragon about that- has to deal with my powers and what not." He waved dismissively not wanting to get into details about that topic again, his hand coming to rest on the bed as his eyes drifted down. Then they came back up to examine her face again, giving her a tired smile. "I'll be alright, it's in my job description to be so." He laughed lightly.
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 8:29 PM
Kimitsuki sighed softly and took a sip of water, mumbling into the cup so he may not be able to hear her "you better be okay..." she yawned softly and then rubbed the side of her head "I'm still feeling kinda tipsy; should I be worried about that or not, Hayden? Never gotten full blown drunk before; just tipsy."
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 8:33 PM
"You'll be fine- you just wheren't used to it." He explained before yawning falling backwards on the bed softly, stretching out as he rested his hands behind his head. It was to get some rest, as sitting up all that time could get annoying. His head would tilt to look at her before sighing, "Been an interesting night, Kimi."
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 8:35 PM
Kimitsuki nodded softly "I'll say. First an idle talk with Mirja about her wanting to try and be a "friend" then that talk about what happened between you two, then I got hammered, and now we're at my house. In my room." she sighed softly and drank some more water, thankful for the cold liquid as she felt parched. "Again, Thanks Hayden..." she smiled at him for a moment before she returned to drinking some water
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 8:36 PM
"Me and your dragon had a rather... intimate talk to say the least." He admitted letting a small smile grace his face, thinking back to just how much that would effect him. It was true that getting that off his chest had certainly allowed him to relax a bit- to allow his head to be clear'd of misty thoughts. "No problem, jsut helping a friend."
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 8:37 PM
Kimitsuki looked at him for a moment and then looked at Kagutsuchi; sleeping soundly around his neck. "I have a feeling I won't hear about it... which, is okay with me right now. I dunno if I want to know" she chuckled softly and took more sips from the water; switching it out with another cup soon after it ran out.
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 8:39 PM
"Maybe." He caution'd watching as she drunk the water, closing his own eyes allowing himself to relax into the softness of her bed. "Gotta take care of my friends." He muttered to her, steadly drifting into what could be sleep sooner or later.
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 8:40 PM
Kimitsuki smiled at him and then chuckled "how bout... you tell me when you think it's right to tell me? Considering I don't think Kagutsuchi will tell me what happened" "Nope, I won't" Kimitsuki chuckled softly from the fire dragon around her neck randomly speaking out of nowhere. She looked at Hayden closely and she nodded softly "as do I... Thank you..."(edited)
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 8:47 PM
"That... sounds nice." He admitted through close eyes listening to the sound of her voice, using that as his connection to the world currently to keep from falling into slumber. "I'll always be here, even if it doesn't seem like it. It's not just my duty." He commented through a sheepish voice, his eyes openly briefly to look at her. "I want to always be here." At that point he would shift a bit turning to lay on his side, facing slight away from her but more for comfort reasons.
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 8:51 PM
Kimitsuki listened to him, having a soft smile on her face. She continued to smile as she simply listened to Hayden speak; stating that he will always be here. But, it wasn't because of his duty. She raised an eyebrow and turned her head towards him, listening as he spoke once more; stating that he would be here because he wants to always be there. In the moment after Hayden said that, and turned away, Kimitsuki's face soon matched the shade of her hair as she heard what he said, turning to face forwards and sip her water; her face staying red for the longest time.

Caprificus-Yesterday at 8:58 PM
Hayden would remain that way as his eyes closed allowing the corner of his lips to turn up into a slight smile, falling asleep now might've been seen as bad but what better way to sleep then in the presence of a good friend. The man let out a yawn as he went silent, as if he was going to wait for her to speak or fade into the warm embrace of sleep.
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 9:00 PM
Kimitsuki twirled her hair for a moment and bit her lip for a moment before softly speaking "Thank you..." Those were the only words that came from the girl as she still was blushing her face off; still just as scarlet as her hair was. She smiled softly and continued to simply sit there, holding the cup as she just smiled softly; waiting for Hayden to fall asleep.
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Yesterday at 9:08 PM
The male would turn over to face her, seeing the vibrant shade of red which had dominated her face to match her hair. This would cause an almost sly grin to go on his lips, before extending his hand slightly to the woman. "You should sleep too, I did promise I would watch over you. It would be much easier if you where closer." It was light teasing but still, she was warm and not to mention comfortable- the sooner the two fell asleep the sooner their lives would resume its chaotic fashion.
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Yesterday at 9:11 PM
Kimitsuki looked at Hayden sheepishly and nearly felt like debating; wanting to state that she had work to do or should just let him sleep since he needed rest far more than her. But, instead of protesting she placed the cup on the night stand and lightly took Hayden's hand; slowly sliding up the bed while blushing immenesely. "I-- uhm -- Okay..." She continued to blush even until she had her entire body up on the bed. She swallowed softly and soon lied down next to Hayden, facing him for the moment due to how he offered a hand to her. She swallowed softly, her face still as red as her hair.

Caprificus-Today at 9:01 AM
"You're blushing, why?" Hayden inquired, his eyes drifting to watch the flush of her cheeks noticable in the dimly lit room. It was almost as red as the vibrant hair which she loved so much, his hand resting on the bed idly befpre extending to her face before stopping dropping onto the bed. The man was tired, in some part of the officer's heart he knew this was entirely wrong- it went against four hundred years of solitude and training. Could he really be willing to endanger that for her, because of her? Yet in all the things he had done, he had managed to always succeed in some capacity. Maybe, in the future, there was some type of chance. "Mmmphh.." He hummed finally closing his eyes, waiting for her to speak.
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Today at 9:07 AM
Kimitsuki looked at Hayden, her face still red as she looked at him, she said nothing for a little until she noticed the hand coming towards her; likely to touch her face. Kimitsuki caught Hayden's hand as it fell mid-air and pulled it to her; placing his hand on her face "I-I'm blushing because I'm lying in b-bed with you... th-that's why" Kimitsuki swallowed softly, no longer holding his hand to her cheek. Instead, she simply let him take it back to his body if he wished; her face still red but not quite as red as before.
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Today at 9:23 AM
Hayden thumb would run over the silken skin of Kimitsuki, the warmth of her body radiating adding a calming sensation over the male. "It's not as if we are doing anything mischievious." He commented, the corner of his lips turning up in a small smile. As she let go of his hand he kept it there light, the calloused hand resting lightly against the plush skin. "You chose to do so, you could've said no.." He pointed out a curious tone lacing his voice.
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Today at 9:30 AM
Kimitsuki nuzzled into his hand slightly on accident, greatly liking the touch for some reason. She sighed softly and nodded at what he said, chuckling "true..." she looked at him still and then heard Hayden's other comment, nodding after his statement. "Yes, I could have said no, but, I couldn't... I really just couldn't; I don't know why, Hayden. It isn't that bad anyways..."
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Today at 9:42 AM
"You seem to like it." He pointed out softly his fingers flexing slightly as he felt the girl curling into his hand, shifting his weight to get closer to her. The warmth of the Danava of Fire was rather, interesting to say the least. It was comforting. Even with these simple factors taken into account, the position they where in was precarious- one quick movement could change things. Thankfully, no one would walk in. Again.
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Today at 9:50 AM
Kimitsuki looked at Hayden and bit her lip for an instant before she simply snuggled close to him; getting that last bit closer and putting her head against his chest. Kimitsuki sighed softly and held herself there, her face still red as her body did indeed radiate a rather interesting heat. Course, it would be comforting unless Kimitsuki was in the midst of a battle. But, she wasn't. So she was simply warm; pressing her forehead onto Hayden's chest lightly as she simply sat there; unsure what to do at this point besides simply relax.
@Caprificus
Caprificus-Today at 9:59 AM
With the sudden gesture his arms would wrap around the girl, gingerly at first almost like a man not trying to accidentally exert to much force. But in this case, it was a man trying to figure out what this meant to him, to her even. But between all that it simply felt, nice- a change of pace. His chin resting on top of the vibrant red hair as his eyes closed- at this moment he could sleep. He could sleep, peacefully.
@darkfunnel
darkfunnel-Today at 10:10 AM
Kimitsuki felt Hayden's arms wrap around her, and she simply nuzzled into Hayden slightly; the Danava getting comfortable for the time being as she too was soon getting pulled in by the solid grasp of sleep. She simply stayed next to Hayden; wondering what this all meant. She sighed softly, not having much of an idea what these two being in this situation meant. Instead, she simply relaxed and nuzzled into Hayden softly; her head the main part of her body pressing against Hayden. She simply sighed in relief as her body slowly started to succumb to sleep; her eyes closing slowly and sleep slowly over taking her being.
