Luminescent Love (Private: Arianda/Kitarune)

It was hard not for Ari to have a twinge of regret when Kita recoiled at the kiss to her forehead. The woman was clearly still angry at her. Arianda didn't mind if Kita wanted to hit her more. Frankly, the emotions she felt from Kita caused Ari to expect at least a few more slaps; maybe even a punch. She wouldn't complain or cry. There was no point when, in Ari's mind, the demon deserved it for being an idiot and not talking to Kita sooner than she did. Arianda was completely new to having a girlfriend; like an actual girlfriend. Which was why Arianda was a little surprised when Kita didn't do anything more. The demon tried to give Kita a warm smile; albeit, the melancholy that was currently striking Ari didn't help her smile look terribly happy. Warm, sure, but Ari was clearly bogged down a tiny bit. Certainly, she didn't think this was how their date was going to go.

Arianda looked at the cup Kita had made from energy, which Ari made a small 'ooo' face at. Ari poured Kita some tea, after she held the cup out; filling it to where she thought was good. Or, until Kita told her to stop. Afterwards, the demon took in what Kita said and give her a smile that didn't seem quite as tainted by her new mod; one that was making her feel horrible because she hurt Kita so by being a dumbass.

"It's okay, I probably deserved it after all. I should be the one apologizing more, though. I worried and concerned you more than I ever should have; and I'm deeply sorry for that, Kita."

The demon continued getting more of their food out, pulling out a few napkins; one of which she put on Kita's knee. Afterwards, the demon stayed sitting on her heels; humming some as she pulled out a sandwich of her own. She put it on a plate and then sighed. However, her train of thought was pulled off the tracks and her attention brought towards Kita. She blinked at the woman before smiling gently.

"Then use a fork, Kita; or chopsticks if you like. We have napkins, to wipe our hands with, but I understand that you don't want to get your hands dirty with the food."

She nodded at Kita, eating some of her own sandwich as well. However, soon Kita asked a question to the demon; causing Arianda to tilt her head gently. She hummed softly, thinking on it while she ate the bit of food she had in her mouth. After a few moments, she chuckled softly.

"Demon world is... a lot of things. But, it is nice; and the home of demons. We've basically always been coming over to the earth; but those were some like me, who just wished to live on the earth. Meanwhile, there are the others who give demons a bad name. Shadow Fall is part of that... I don't know how much you know of it, but demons did invade the Earth at one point; and had dominion over most of it. That's part of why I left Shadow Fall. Cruel and unusual."

Arianda took another bite out of her sandwich, contemplating the next section of what she wished to tell Kita about.

"Despite that, demon world is still a beautiful place in its own regard. Vast lands, far more than what's on earth; and quite a few nations. I even have a palace there... Well, had. I'm sure I could claim it for myself if I ever wanted to; but, I'd prefer not to return to it for a while now..."

The demon looked down to the ground after she spoke, placing her sandwich down as she started to contemplate what exactly could be there. In a voice that was nearly to silent to hear, she muttered something to herself; something that Kita could probably barely here.

"And my parents are there somewhere too..."

After such silent speech, perhaps too quiet for Kita to hear; but she was right next to Ari. Maybe she would catch enough to understand. Eventually, Arianda looked up to Smile at Kita, sliding next to the woman to give her a one-armed hug from the side. She held it as long as Kita would allow, and then pulled away gently; carefully rubbing Kita's back before she lowered her hand back into her own lap.

"I could take you there one day, if you wanted. I'm sure the demons would leave us alone. I still have somewhat of a reputation... or can scare them away with an evil look alone."

Arianda gave Kita a warm, caring, smile. She wasn't completely happy; but being near Kita did help lighten her mood. She was with the woman she cared deeply for; it really did help lighten her mood. However, it was impossible for her not to feel bad. She had done something very dumb after all. However, the demon gently placed her hand on Kita's thigh; attempting to get Kita's attention gently.

"Kita... If there's something I can do to make it up to you for being such an idiot, tell me; please."
