Kimitsuki was glad to see that Hiroi didn't eat the scraps off the floor, no matter how much it might have tempted her. Indeed, demons don't get sick frequently; and the bacteria of the human world don't always pose a threat. However, it was better to be safe than sorry; especially with a place like the floor where feet and shoes always touch. Regardless of how messy the floor can be, Kimitsuki was still glad to see that Hiroi chucked the scraps. She hummed softly, looking back at Hiroi as the little demon approached; climbing to sit on the counter as Kimitsuki washed dishes. Thanks to this proximity, it took very little for Kimi to turn and look Hiroi right in the eyes; something that the Danava of Fire was glad for. After all, trying to turn your head most of the way around did get tiresome after a while. However, a spontaneous question from Hiroi seemed to have slightly shocked Kimi.

Could she swim...? Well, as far as fundamentals go, yes she could swim; swim enough to get out of the water. After all, even if she is a being of fire, being in water does not snuff her out; it's just rather uncomfortable. Mostly because most water is far too cold for the demon. Even water that is hot to Kimi wasn't exactly more favorable. However, what likely shocked Kimi a slight bit more was how Hiroi referred to her. Not as Kimitsuki, as Kimi; which was as close to a nickname as Kimitsuki ever had. She blinked at the surprise that followed when Hiroi called her Kimi, however, she simply looked at Hiroi; resuming to wash dishes as she gave the smaller demon a smile. It was nice for Hiroi to call her Kimi, even if it was spontaneous and may only happen again just as spontaneously.

"I can... It's difficult to live in the world we do and not know how to at least stay afloat in water; especially when you're basically in the military. Albeit... I would prefer not to swim most of the time. I suppose you could call it the whole thing with water and fire not mixing well. Albeit, I have been able to at least enjoy my limited time in the water; no matter how cold it may be."

Kimitsuki smiled sheepishly at Hiroi, feeling bashful at how she treated water; how she treated swimming. It honestly did frighten her some; as she was a being of fire. Even though most water could never snuff her fire out, the prospect was still daunting. However, she soon became curious why Hiroi asked her such question out of nowhere; sparking some interest in the demon as she continued to wash dishes. Said dishes were getting washed quite quickly, all coming out nice and clean when Kimi put them aside to dry.

"Why do you ask, Hiroi? Did you want to go to the pool or beach? I wouldn't mind if you wanted to; could be fun."

A beach?! Such a prospect made Hiroi’s eyes widen slightly in sudden anticipation. Has the small Danava ever experienced a beach? Selective memories conclude that she hasn’t. Thus, the thought of going to one has caused her more excitement than normal. However, knowing how fire and water mix, the demon didn’t announce her desire vocally and shook her head to answer Kimitsuki.

“Maybe one day, but I do not think I know how to swim. I have no recollection of ever having to traverse any bodies of water. Besides, the cold does Hiroi little good.”

Staring off once more into the sink, Hiroi lets her thoughts roam. She thinks about what military life is like. Would someone as tiny as her be able to survive in such? Maybe she should accompany Kimitsuki just to see how it all worked. Despite being new to Vastime, Hiroi has yet to actually explore. At least, then, the kitchen would be spared for a day or two.

“Kimitsuki. How did you get so strong? Was it the military? Were you born strong? Hiroi pales in comparison despite being a Danava too.” Her blank eyes move from the water to give the redhead a glance over; her eyes focusing a bit too hard on particular areas that petite women would normally feel jealousy over. Hiroi’s head is only filled with what ifs however.

Home? There is a twitch in Hiroi’s eye at the thought of a home, something in the back of her mind reacting to the idea of a place to call one’s own. Alone. Hiroi? Alone? Something felt odd about that, something she should know but doesn’t. This sudden feeling befalling her, it is something similar to how she feels around Kimitsuki; a friend… Yet, however, she feels it was extremely different from this at the same time. Strange… Hiroi decided to ignore it though and listen to Kimitsuki speak more intently.

So, the redhead grew stronger because she needed to be strong to survive. Hiroi doesn’t know how old she is. It’s another thing that bothers her at times, but thinking too hard about it just gives her a headache. It’s annoying not knowing much about yourself. “Eh…” Hiroi did not expect to receive a hug, but she did not fight against it. She simply accepted her new position with a sigh.

“Hiroi wants to be strong I think. I do not recall ever struggling to survive, but I do feel a desire to keep what I have now intact. I do not know why.”

Her face showed concern, but also confusion. Her gaze focused on the floor over everything else as she thinks about her own growth. Maybe she’d discover more about herself if she attempted to explore her abilities, if she even has any abilities worth exploring.

“Possibly. Hiroi’s memory is not the best, there is no remembering family, home, or friends. There is only a dense fog that lifts every now and then. Though what I see feels like it isn’t mine. Maybe I have no memories of my own to see, and Hiroi only witnesses past lives.”

How does one continue on with life with such emptiness? Hiroi wondered about such. When did she begin existing? It is difficult to pinpoint her own birth, as if knowing should be something simple, yet, distorted by a horrible sense of time. Ah. She’s not going to think too hard on it. It’ll just hurt her head more. For now, she just watches Kimitsuki clean up the dishes pondering on if she should leap from the counter or not. That’s a long way down.

However, Kimitsuki returns asking her about what else their day should include. “Ah, let us head out then. Hiroi is, strangely, not hungry. Too much thinking.” She has no idea where she wants to head out to, but she simply wants to get out of the house and get some air. Kimitsuki coming along wouldn’t hurt. WIth a huff, she jumps down from the counter and wobbles to keep her balance before discarding her apron and heads over to the door.

“Come come.” She mutters before heading out onto the streets of Vastime.

“New memories? Such a notion is valid, but Hiroi would always know- A nagging feeling in our mind, I suppose.” She doesn’t argue against Kimitsuki’s idea, but already, she has new memories, emotions, and bonds that she did not have before. Even with them, however, she still feels like something is missing, something rather important, or as some may view it, unimportant. Yet, not knowing if it is something she needs to know or not is what’s driving her nuts. It makes her really hungry too, like devouring whole shop levels of hunger. However, she shall placate herself with the simple understanding that her memories hold no true sway on her situation at the moment. She is happy, even if bugged, with how things are right now, so she will leave her troublesome thoughts for a more private time.

Looking up at Kimitsuki, she decided that getting out of Vastime for a bit would prove pleasant enough. She has spent long days cooped up and maybe a good outdoor adventure will do her some good, help her with her head. All the tempting smells are starting to actually get annoying while she’s trying to practice self control. “Let us go visit your forest, Kimitsuki. Some natural air sounds pleasant, one not tainted by… cake.” Her eyes couldn’t help but move towards a nearby bakery as they turned to slits and glew a devious dark red. Though, she is quick to take Kimituki’s hand and begin their walk once more. The redhead can take the lead whenever she pleases to lead them on the right path.

Curiosity is a form of hunger, though, Hiroi found it less appealing than food. Satisfying an abstract hunger is never as good as satisfying the physical hunger; especially considering how eating fuels the mind to continue thinking and whatnot. It is the true purpose why Hiroi’s mind is pulled in two directions, but she simply thought it better to learn more of Kimitsuki than to eat again after already partaking in some form of nourishment. Besides, she has all the time in the world to eat.

She is prepared to head out to the forest, but it seems Kimitsuki is feeling somewhat brave. The only expression that Hiroi hinted at when picked up is exemplified by her slightly widened eyes. Quickly, however, she accepts her position and gives no vocal noise as they leap off into the sky. They are rather high in the sky. So high, infact, that the clouds seem to be at arm’s length and the ground feels as out of reach as the sky normally is. It’s nice. Kimitsuki may have manhandled her a bit, but at least the red haired demon seemed to care about her wellbeing as they traveled at immense speeds.

But, with all things, they end. They may end at different times, but they eventually do, and their little journey has reached that time. As they land within the forest, she is let down and grabbed once more. Did Kimitsuki think the smaller demon was capable of getting lost or something? Maybe. The forest feels nice however. The smells are all so natural and comforting. There’s no signs of civilization way out here. Despite how young she is, Hiroi feels as if she had experienced this forest before it was this grand. Strange. Her attention moves to Kimitsuki however as the conversation picks back up after their trip.

“This area is nice. Quiet and serene. Was it always this way?”
