Think she’s cute? Elyss finds herself choking a bit on her meal before downing a glass of milk for a full 10 seconds slamming the glass down afterwards and golds up a finger. She should have seen something like this coming. This gal obviously has some sort of personality about her that involves dancing around words. Elyss isn’t one for such however. She’s always been either stupidly blunt or very quiet.
At least Elyss understands the Ulv situation though. That woman is always coming at people aggressively with wording or actions and testing a person’s patience. Sometimes it’s in good faith, and other times, that woman just wants to get a rise out of a person or whatever. Elyss wonders what exactly Ulv had challenged Ichijou to, but she gets her answer soon.
Social Media? Elyss can’t say she’s all too familiar with technology, but she knows the simplicity of it. She doubts she’d ever need to know anything too advanced. The gist of things here is that Ulv probably put Ichijou’s Social Media whatever on the line, and Ichijou chickened out from whatever Ulv proposed which was proabably something a bit lewd as well as hard.
“Meh. She met me in an alley killing someone.”
That’s all Elyss says as she starts back eating. She figured that’d get Ichijou’s attention considering the woman liked that sort of thing. A very vague but quite clear answer to the relationship Ulv and Elyss has. Ulv is Elyss’ guardian because Elyss does stuff like that. Simple.

BLOODY REBELLION
"Ooooooh....?"
Ichijou shot Elyss with a curious gaze as she explained the history behind her and Mistress Lady Ulv, though much of the gaze was still held from earlier when Elyss seemed as if she were about to explode... or somethin' like that. Ichijou was neither shocked nor taken aback by what Elyss had told her, having been someone who was accustomed to murder in order to survive. That is, consuming the blood of whoever she could find in alleyways.
Dogs, Cats, humans, none of it really mattered to a blood-craving vampire. Ichijou pulled up a knife as she stared at it, reminiscing on the less enjoyable part of her life.
"Did they deserve it? The person that was gettin' killed by yer blade or bare hands? Not to get all odd and serious suddenly but... I wonder how killing is from the perspective of those who don't necessarily need nourishment to survive. "
Ichijou would twiddle the knife in her fingers, gazing at Elyss.
"Ya know'... like the difference between how a Hollow needs to feast on souls versus Shinigami or Humans who can rely on nourishment that is readily available to the masses. Dunno'... I'm more or less a vampire who needs blood... "

“So, you’re like Claire.”
The reveal that Elyss already knew somewhat of Ichijou’s race, though her knowledge is limited to knowing they feast on blood. Her understanding is limited though. She wouldn’t be too surprised if Ichijou was something else entirely, but she wouldn’t be the first bloodsucker Elyss has met. There is also a wonder of how the blonde would take the name ‘Claire’ being said absently.
But, that is not what Ichijou was asking of her. A simple question of a very complicated event in Elyss’ mind. Well, her mind isn’t actually able to answer this properly anyhow. It was a situation that still evades Elyss’ thoughts. Still, after so long afterwards, Elyss cannot clearly recall what occurred during those moments that she nearly killed, not one, but a group of men. All she knows is that she was injured immensely during that altercation, and from what Ulv told her, she beat them all mercilessly like a mad rabid animal. There is only one thing Elyss knows. Back then, she only ever fought if her job demanded of it or if someone was threatening another’s life, so her only plausible excuse for that situation is that those men did something horrible enough to push her to the brink of blacking out and attacking.
“I can only say that I hope I had a reasonable reason for doing what I did. I know little about why all other races kill when they do. I barely know anything about Hollows to tell you the truth. All I really know is that my body hurt and my fists bled. Sorry.”
She pokes at her cake finding the fragmented memory annoying as her mind tries to recall it but only pull up blanks. When her eyes came up to Ichijou seeing her curious gaze, Elyss suddenly felt a bit cautious about her new ‘friend’. What all is Ichijou? Someone of power beyond simple wealth? If this was a setup to get a meal, revealing oneself pretty much ruins said plan, but Elyss knows nothing of Ichijou to care for the woman’s companionship beyond face value. It is hard for Elyss to immediately put any trust into a person who seems more intent on using words more than actions. They’re always the ones who manipulate life far too easily. Ichijou, however, gains points for buying Elyss cake.
“What are you in life, Ichijou?”
A vague question with many ways to take it. Elyss wonders what the woman across from her would say. How would she examine herself?

"Heavens no! I mean, like, if you're sayin' we're the same race? Then yeah, I'm just like the Sueki Queen. Outside of that, we hardly share any similarities. I've never met her personally but my parents served under her and I never liked her, even as a child. That's all I could really say it as regards the beloved Queen."
Ichijou would chuckle at hearing the name of Claire. No Sueki could possibly fail to recognize her name. Even though Ichijou had left Romania during her teenage period, she was familiar with her race enough to know who Claire was in terms of standing. Ichijou had never met her personally and doubted any moment would arise where they could meet in person.
As soon as she was finished with her explanation, Elyss had continued on and answered Ichijou the best way she could. It would seem as though Elyss was not bloodthirsty or one who craved flesh like run-of-the-mill zombies. In her mind, she hoped that for who she had killed, there was a reasonable explanation and that she had done the right thing.
Ichijou blinked, somewhat astonished. She rarely ever heard of people who could blackout and forget about an event that transpired. Perhaps her anger was so strong that it caused her memory to lapse? That would explain a lot.
After Elyss had answered Ichijou's question, the crimson-haired woman decided to throw a question in Ichijou's direction.
"What are you in life, Ichijou?"
Ichijou's expression softened as she returned Elyss's gaze. Ulv had posed her a similar question not long ago. The questioning of one's existence, of what they desired: what imprint did she wish to leave on this world beyond the adoring eyes of those behind a computer screen or phone? Ichijou had never really contemplated it much until now but with time spent around Ulv, Kokuto, and Takehiko, Ichijou was starting to define what she wanted. Her own personal craving.
"What am I in life? Well, so far... not much outside of a fang-toothed young adult vamp who likes to be in the spotlight n' capture everyone's attention. I mean, up until now, I guess that's all ya' can say I've done but lately... after meeting Ulv and other individuals, I find myself... wantin' to be more. Not necessarily like a hero or anythin' of that nature but wanting to truly live my life and leave my mark on this world. Maybe through fighting or just wagin' my life and goin' out with a bang. Somethin' I guess... to actually feel like this life has meanin'."
Ichijou would smile as she set the knife down and held Elyss's firm gaze.
"And you? What do you want out of this life, Ely?"

So, Ichijou dislikes Claire? That’s information to know. For one to dislike their queen? Well, throughout history, isn’t that how life usually was? The ones on the top despised by the ones beneath them until a revolution occurs. Though, Elyss wouldn’t know much about that. She’s not a history gal. It does add a bit more personality to Ichijou though to Elyss. The woman isn’t all just cheery and rainbows. She has her inner ugliness like most. Of course, Elyss figured such just by how bouncy the other felt. Usually, it’s the too happy ones that have the most turmoil within themselves, and Ichijou’s response to Elyss’ question only confirms the redhead’s thoughts more.
“As you wish to be in the light, I could care less for putting on a show. I simply want to help. I don’t really feel as if I’m someone who deserves to be in any spotlight. I feel I’m that person watching from the sidelines that decided to step in despite the issue at hand and provide help as she can. I don’t expect a thanks. I don’t expect acknowledgement. I grow stronger because it’s the only way to accomplish my ideals.”
She picks up a piece of cake with her hand and holds it upside down.
“The ingredients of this cake, do they really matter? Some? Yeah. All? Debatable, huh? But, this cake still tastes good. You don’t usually ask what’s in it unless you appreciate such. In the end, you simply tell the baker that they made a good cheesecake. Isn’t that how life is?”
She think she sounds a bit crazy, but there’s some knowledge there, right?
“You don’t usually compliment every person of an organization, do you? You usually give the leader the gratification. I don’t want to be that leader that gets all the thanks. I think I’d be comfortable just being another soldier out on the frontlines helping who I could, but Ichijou. If you want to be important in this world, you do you. I just hope that bang is positive and not anything that would put us against one another.”
Elyss, then eats that piece of cake and smiles to herself a bit before raising a brow and looking over to Ichijou.

BLOODY REBELLION
As Ichijou soaked in everything Elyss was expounding in terms of philosophy, Ichijou smiled and gazed at her intently. Comparing how good cake tastes is to how an individual can compliment you and tell you how great you are or what you've achieved... heh, she couldn't deny that the entire explanation was somewhat silly, eliciting a chuckle from the fang-toothed Sueki.
Even so, she appreciated everything she the crimson-haired shinigami was expressing.
In Elyss's words, she did not desire to be the center of attention or a legendary warrior - indeed, the very thought of accomplishment as a soldier aiding others on the frontline is what she valued more. Ichijou grinned widely, showing off the most affectionate smile she had shown to anyone. For the first time, someone gave her a genuine smile. Ichijou placed a hand atop of Elyss and nodded softly, assuring her that she had no intent to be on the battlefield... at least not yet.
"Heh. That's tha' first time I've ever heard Cake being used as a philosophical tool! Either way, it actually made me smile. It makes me feel confident. Like, the sky is the limit for me and at the end, it doesn't matter what I achieve so as long as I'm proud of it. As far as what my bang is... I can assure ya that it dun exactly involve me being in a position where we'd be in opposition towards one another."
She smiled again as she removed her hand from Elyss's and returned to eating a piece of chocolate cake.
"In fact, if ya' don't mind me sayin', talkin' with someone like this always makes me feel content. You're genuine, Ely. I love people who express themselves."

The fact she used cake was a bit silly. A lesson about dreams and inspirations centered around the ingredients inside her favorite dessert? How absurd, but people learn things more easily when it has something to do with what they enjoy. That’s a teaching tactic employed by many however; using something the person can relate with to focus their mind around a certain subject. Though, at the end, Elyss didn’t expect her rambling to be received so genuinely. Guess she got a bit carried away because it’s cake, but it all worked out in the end.
That smile however. Now, that caused her to blink a bit. This is the first she felt Ichijou actually smiled. It didn’t feel big or fancy. It was an expression that one couldn’t help but make even if it was only a slight twinge of their lips and cheeks. Even with how wide her cheeks could stretch, it felt… like walking an old lady across the street. An odd way to put it, but Elyss felt a certain pride about it much the same as if she did something that rarely many do. With a flick of her eyes, she focuses on her hand on her own listening.
“The sky is a limit, but who says you have to stop there? Your personal happiness should always be something to strive for, but it shouldn’t be something that causes others to suffer. I know that in this competitive world, what you want will, in some way, cause others to lose something, but one should strive to make that loss as small as possible. Sometimes making others happy is what you’ll strive for, and their joy will become your joy. The world is wondrous like that, huh?”
Her genuine? Elyss finds herself rather blunt and dumb when it comes to people. She thinks it more of a hassle than anything good; the inability to control her mouth when she thinks on something always causing her to say something risky. But, someone actually speaking good of it causes her to blush slightly. It seems being more open than her usual distant cold self has helped another even if by a little, and that causes her to feel a bit shy; a small blush on her cheeks now as she focuses more on eating her dessert.
“Thanks… I mean that… I guess…”
She speaks a bit with her mouth full, but she honestly doesn’t know what else to mutter out that won’t sound a bit silly, so she focuses on her desert letting a brief moment of silence occur between them filled only with the sound of food being eaten. Sometimes a bit of peace and thinking is better than constant talking.

BLOODY REBELLION
Even though Ichijou had rarely admired anyone but herself, she could not help but think of Elyss as anything else but an inspiring woman.
Even if she didn't feel like her words may have made sense or it seemed like a ramble, the Sueki received it with nothing but adoration. Ichijou brought another handful of cookies to her mouth and chomped down on all of them, consuming them with newfound glee.
Ichijou didn't really envision Elyss being so friendly at first. Her whole nature seemed like the type of person who would bite yer' head off if you fucked with her too much. That being said, Ichijou welcomed her company and wondered what else she might want to do today.
Speaking with her mouth somewhat full, she asked, "Didcha have any other plans for today? Mmsrch.. You knowsh... besides us eatinsh cookiesh and cakesh?"

Who would envision Elyss as friendly at a glance? Cute maybe, but approachable? No. Some may find that stony outer appearance as something to get near, but most would rather stay away from her then face whatever has her in a sour mood. Though, guess Ichijou is the lucky winner on this day. She got near the redhead and got some good use out of her. Well, she did buy Elyss cake which is sure to get her in a good mood.
“Mmm… I had nothing planned today. It was just ogle the window and then go train or something I guess.”
That’s pretty much how a lot of her days go. Train and then go rest or wander. She really should go out more or make more friends, but that’s just not her style.
“I suppose, right now, I’m with you until we part ways.”
She gives a small smile however showing she doesn’t exactly hate that idea.

Ichijou's mouth, filled with cookies, formed into a beaming smile so bright that it could soften the hearts of many men and women. Swallowing the remains of the chocolate chip cookies, Ichijou smiled and hopped up in excitement.
With outstretched arms, she came over and brought Elyss into her embrace before pulling away, grabbing the crimson-haired woman by the hand.
"If that's the case, perhaps ya' could come over to my house and we can play games and stuff! My mom is usually workin' at this time of day, so I'm pretty shure' we can have fun and I'll even order more food if you get hungry! So, whaddya' say?"
Ichijou held no reservations when it came to people she considered friends or was fond of beyond all forms of comprehension. She loved to be interactive, and the company of Elyss was far too good to pass up, or let their time together end in some dessert shop! Ichijou chucked a spare wallet full of cash onto the table and began preparing to transport both herself and Elyss to her humble abode, but only if she wanted.
