Shocking could likely be a small bit of an understatement as to Kimitsuki's reaction to the whole situation; of Hiroi's saliva causing her hand, and soon enough her cheek, to steam. Indeed, it stung a little bit, but Kimitsuki refused to recoil at this small amount of burns. She had endured more than enough burns, self inflicted or otherwise; so she wasn't terribly worried about a small amount. However, it was quite nice to see Hiroi exhibit such a show of emotion; such a show of affection. At the very least, it was a nice sign that Hiroi could exhibit such a great deal of emotion. However, the moment, no matter how brief, and possibly the tiniest bit painful as Hiroi gave Kimi's hand the most loving of nuzzles, was over just as soon as it had started; at least, that's how such a nice moment felt once it was over.

Hiroi seemed to have noticed her predicament when Kimi spoke to her, her fond voice snapping the smaller Danava out of her reprieve; and leaving her to move away from Kimi. In those moments where Hiroi was turned around, Kimitsuki reached a hand out to her; mostly because she wanted to girl to know everything was fine. However, she decided to give Hiroi just a bit of space for the moment; let Hiroi collect her thoughts before moving over and consoling her with a hug. While Kimi waited, the demon gently cleaned off her hand and cheek with a tiny bit of fire and dirt; using her liberation flame to focus on the small burns on her hand. It was nothing bad, Kimitsuki had an advantage over Hiroi in a few departments; but she certainly wasn't injured by Hiroi. Just given a few small scrapes that were easy to take care of.

Soon, sometime after Kimitsuki had sat up while Hiroi was turned away, she heard Hiroi's voice. It seemed more like it was before she started trembling, perhaps the slightest bit brighter? She certainly did sound a bit flustered, at least Kimi figured she was. It was hard to tell just by tone of voice.

"It's fine Hiroi, don't worry about it~ Next time, maybe I couuuld tone down the heat? That could help a little~"

Kimitsuki gave Hiroi a warm smile, even if Hiroi couldn't see the smile, and then the next thing Kimi knew, Hiroi was on top of her again. She wasn't looming over her, with Kimitsuki in a vulnerable position; more like Hiroi had straddled Kimi's legs while she took a look at her face. Of course, Kimitsuki's face was fine. There was a small burn on her face; one she had yet to get to. Hiroi had been giving her hand a bunch of loving nuzzles; so her hand would technically be the worse off of the two spots. As Kimi watched Hiroi inspect her face, looking into those once more brilliantly red eyes, she noticed a few things.

Hiroi, for one, was blushing; actually blushing for once. Faint as it may be, it still was prominent on her face. Perhaps Kimi was right, Hiroi did indeed get a bit flustered; and it was quite adorable to see her blushing so. She even seemed concerned for Kimitsuki, and that color on her face and concern seemed to make Hiroi even more endearing, and charming, than she already was. At least, if Kimitsuki was right about the whole concern thing. Kimi wasn't exactly the best at guessing and reading emotions. However, Kimitsuki did notice how Hiroi was touching her face again; and how she was inspecting the small burn. It truly wasn't much to worry over, and Kimitsuki could easily use her liberation flame to liberate the burn from her skin.

"It's okay, Hiroi~ You didn't do any damage, I promise. See, even my hand's just fine too~"

Kimi smiled at Hiroi, lifting her right hand to show it to Hiroi; not a hint of the burn remained. Indeed, her skin was slightly pink; but even that was slowly fading away. Then, she moved that hand back to Hiroi's cheek; still smiling at the girl. Kimi was still warm, but, not quite to the extent as earlier. She didn't want to be too warm nor too cold; she wanted to make sure it was just right for Hiroi. To keep her warm without causing her to relax to an extent where she accidentally stops controlling certain things correctly.

"Feeling a bit better, Hiroi~?"

“...W-Well then. It seems I had misplaced my worry somewhat.”

There is something extremely unsettling about this whole situation. Hiroi was simply caught off guard. That’s it. Her rationalization is quick to entertain the idea that everything that has occurred today was because of her not feeling like her usual self. Not only has her mind been all over the place, but Kimitsuki’s usual over-affectionate nature simply goaded her along a path that seemed better than the one she was already on. Though, letting herself think even a bit on that memory from before causes her to want to return into Kimitsuki’s embrace. The redheaded Danava is warm. The hand on her cheek does make her want to close her eyes and fall into a high bliss.

It’s strange for her to feel such concern over her own actions. It’s strange that her heart started to beat just a bit faster at the thought of harming Kimitsuki. No. It's simple really. Kimitsuki is a source of warmth and comfort. The woman has taken Hiroi into her home and gave the smaller demon so much. Of course Hiroi would feel some type of way about harming her only source of happiness at the moment. Only source of happiness? Such strange thoughts. It feels so weird to have any other sensation inside of her except hunger. Yet, she is sure she felt fear not too long ago, and that felt all too familiar. She is sure that this feeling of comfort and desire isn’t something entirely new to her being either, but those positive feelings feel more like a slightly ajar box that had yet to be opened all the way; now, it is?

Stupid Kimitsuki. How foolish it is to even suspect feelings beyond what is necessary. Hiroi is a snake, a reptile. They have no use of such feelings. Yes, that’s it. Kimitsuki is a source of comfort, and Hiroi would rather have the redhead around for as long as possible than lose her. However, Hiroi isn’t completely immune to human emotions. That memory couldn’t help itself but to mess with her thoughts. Maybe that gruesome beast is or was her. What had happened? Who was the little girl? The answer is right there and yet so elusive. She was the beast, but she is the girl now? Or was she the girl, and now, the beast? Somehow, she is both? Or, she could be neither. Either way, she shares quality with both of the creatures: inhuman and human qualities. Curses! She’s arguing far too strongly with herself about if she has feelings for the idiot beneath her or not. The answer is as simple as baking a cake.

“I am fine either way. I have much to think on, but it would be wrong of me to not, at the least, thank you for being here. I guess you proved useful, with your heat, at helping me return to a bit of normalcy.”

The more she talked, the more strongly her blush grew. The warmth flowing through her body did nothing but worsen the emotions running through her. In fact, Hiroi became oddly conscious of her hands on Kimitsuki’s face, and slowly, she’d remove them and return them down to her sides as she rose and sat on Kimitsuki with a small frown. She even noticed her lack of third person usage when talking about herself. Is she that flustered? Ugh. She doesn’t want to deal with this any longer.

Off of Kimitsuki she’d move as she’d sit down on the ground next to the redhead. Her eyes move away towards the forest, her features visibly upset. Her hands would move to her cheek hating the heat they are generating before, like a child, they inflate with a pout. There she’d start mumbling a bit, the words: “dumb, Kimitsuki, and hot” slipping from her lips with the other jumbled mess of unrecongizable words.

Insufferable. She’s a cold blooded killer and Kimitsuki’s just some silly furry dog that just so happens to be the perfect kotatsu. The other’s silliness shouldn’t prove capable of tearing down Hiroi’s stoic exterior so easily. The only logical reasoning for any of this is the fact that Hiroi had spent a sufficient amount of time around Kimitsuki. Of course feelings greater than friendship might develop. Though, what exactly has developed: a family bond or maybe even a love interest? Hiroi is only sure that it causes any thoughts that revolve around Kimitsuki to bother her greatly. This isn’t something that had just started today either. Even at home, Hiroi would find herself passively wondering about the redhead: is she doing okay, when will she return home, what are they going to eat today. The intimacy that was shared here simply caught her off guard, nothing more, nothing less.

With a quick glance to Kimitsuki, Hiroi’s contempt for the situation only grew larger. Her pout grew worse, much to her disdain, as she turned her eyes away again. What a dumb smile. Ah, it’s a wonder what the redhead is thinking, but Hiroi is sure that it’s nothing but fluff. Urgh! And now, the red buffoon is laughing. About what? Ah! It has to be Hiroi’s face, yes? The Danava knows she’s making a rather silly expression right now, but it just formed naturally for some reason.

Gah! What is this? An arm? A hand touching her side. When did Kimitsuki even move so close. Just as Hiroi was cooling down a bit too. Oh, the inhumanity. Now, with the readdition of heat, Hiroi’s cheeks could do nothing but worsen slowly as her blood became more reactive to her own nervous thoughts. Then, the blasted woman dared to coax Hiroi further with the prospect of food. Kimitsuki knows that’s Hiroi’s weakness. Just the thought of eating a whole lot while in such a vulnerable mood has her jaws salivating and her fangs erect. And then! And then!

Her cheek is suddenly hot, way hotter than the rest of her. Huh? Widened eyes snapped quickly to Kimitsuki. Well, Hiroi’s face was already red, but now? Her whole face is somehow nearly the same color of her own eyes and Kimitsuki’s hair, her pale complexion proving too susceptible to heat. “Wha- Wha- You…” Well, if she were confused about how she felt about Kimitsuki before, now it’s rather clear how she feels about all this, despite how even more confused the sudden clarity is making her.

“Y-You kissed me?! Kimitsuki! H-Hiroi isn’t- Ah!”

She falls into silence and turns her head away. No, this isn’t correct. This isn’t right. Hiroi isn’t a being that should be receiving such things. If her memories are correct, she’s just some horrible monster. Oh, how her empty head pains her so. If only she knew everything about herself, then she’d be more capable of warding off this sudden intimacy. Even then, the woman's side of her has lost all sense of everything, and her mind proves only capable of focusing on her burning cheek. Silence between the two for what one may think centuries, but proves to only be a few seconds before Hiroi simply plopped herself against Kimitsuki like the redhead had wanted.

“Hiroi desires a full course meal with dessert when we return home. Also, she requires Kimitsuki to take responsibility for her actions and be prepared to suffer the consequences. The silly redhead may have tamed Hiroi’s humanity, but Hiroi’s hunger has yet to be pleased. Also, Hiroi won’t forgive Kimitsuki for taking Hiroi’s first kiss. Hiroi read about how important these things are, and Kimitsuki is a villain for being so rash. However, Hiroi just has one question…”

Turning her head upwards as her body turned in Kimitsuki’s grasp, Hiroi focused her tear filled eyes on Kimitsuki; the blush on her face in full blossom. Hiroi’s face is contorted with the most emotion that Kimitsuki has ever seen, a mixture of sadness, worry, interest, and happiness all intermingling on her small face.

“If Hiroi ever changes, will Kimitsuki stay?”

A lot has happened today, and, to be honest, Hiroi didn’t expect any of it. How something as simple as baking a cake turned into some crazy confession in the middle of the woods is beyond her. It may prove the safest option to just not think too hard about any of this. She has her own mental fatigues to sift through, and, despite how eager Kimitsuki is to help and how loyal the redhead is, Hiroi would rather use her own time, alone, to get a better idea of what to make of herself. One thing has been answered, but there are numerous other questions that still require some form of resolution. Hiroi may not have to worry about her position with Kimitsuki right now, but later down the road? The smaller Danava has secrets that she isn’t completely sure about herself, and it would be foolish to believe that her mysterious past won’t create tension between the two. What if Hiroi does turn into a monster? That is the true reason behind her question. It wasn’t all just revolving around trust. It was also asking if Kimitsuki would do the right thing when the time comes if Hiroi ever became something horrible.

Though, with a kiss to her forehead and an insurance of their relationship, mixed with promised food, for now, Hiroi finds herself oddly satisfied with the day. There’s that silly smile that Kimitsuki wears so easily. Hiroi often wonders if she’d ever be able to produce such a look. Maybe she is now? No. Her small smile is far too melancholy when compared to this fiery individual’s. For now, there seems nothing wrong with giving in to the warmth all around her. She’s already made good use of it and she doesn’t have to worry about using it all up.

“I’m ready to go whenever you are.”

She’d mutter after being pulled into yet another embrace. This time, however, she decided to return the hug given to her. This is the first time she’s actually returned one of Kimitsuki’s hugs. It probably won’t be the last now that the two have created a stronger bond. And, with such warm feelings running through her, the idea of ruining it slowly starts to fade as her eyes closed once more. This time, they don’t open again. Asleep, or in a heat induced coma, Hiroi has given up on fighting everything this day and is finally allowing her working mind a much needed rest.
