Paint the Town Pink [Gamukira, Tomoe]

She was so disappointed and empty, not like that feeling when your tummy is empty and you wanna eat some food it was worse than that. It was weird being able to eat and satisfy a hunger, her gut able to be well and truly satiated and yet the emptiness in her chest was not so easily filled.

Her quirky demeanour and playful nature had subsided and in its place she just felt aimless. There wasn't any point to toying with people if she wasn't going to eat them and she didn't feel hungry, didn't people eat food to comfort themselves when they were upset?

How weird it felt being outside her lab, feeling almost lost and like a lost wittle puppy. Her shihakusho and furry coat styled to be similar to the Captain's haori with the division ensigna for the third division.

Weird for a captain like her to be looking around and scratching her chin, huh?

"Eh?"

She bent her neck back just a little bit more than should be physically possible to peek behind her at Tomoe though the gesture was unnecessary and frankly, over the top since the purple-haired woman came around to her side but if it accomplished anything it was to show the whimsical way that her body was so inhuman regardless of its shape.

"Nothing. I'm just bored."

It wasn't really true, well maybe a little bit. Things did feel boring without Abby around but what could she do about that?

"Hey, don't call me mopey, you bitch."

She was lucky that the voracious monster that she used to be had gotten snuffed out or this woman would be dinner, fellow shinigami always tasted the best to her palate but there wasn't really much of an interest in eating them anymore. Didn't give her the same satisfaction that it used to.

Gamu pouted like a jaded child, although there was no hostility besides being irked. A little bit of silence between them before she got over it rather promptly and continued like it had never happened.

"What do you want?"

The woman wasn't stupid, people always wanted something and Gamu was wearing what gave the impression of a captain. She probably wanted something and was trying to use small chit-chat to lead into it.

"Eh? Whatever."

She muttered, she still didn't believe her. Maybe what was previous predatory instinct had turned into a misanthropy which was at fault of people but the fact that she hated how she felt now. If she had previously wanted to destroy the world and devour all the contents in the world into her being to see if it would satisfy her hunger, now she wanted on some primal level of morbid curiousity to see if its destruction would end the emptiness in her chest.

Ah, but she couldn't do that now could she? Not anymore.

"If you are lonely, wouldn't it make more sense to pursue friends?"

Funny that she had viewed the difference as their status and power as a metric of whether or not friendship was possible. Wasn't that how it was in nature? The strong only gave time to those of their level, the weak crowded together in groups. Made friendships and comradery to try and survive. Though she was not driven by nature anymore was she and her Abby valued all the weaklings.

Maybe she'd find her more appealing if she viewed weaker people as worth her attention and coming to that conclusion she almost changed demeanour immediately.

"Though I'm sure we can be definitely friends. I'm Gamu, what's your name~?"

How eerie that she went from such a callous individual to a bubbly and exciteable at a handwave Her knees bending just a bit to be at eye level with her new friend.

"Ah-sa-hi-na."

She chimed out the syllables though she was told to just call her Tomoe, right? She thought Asahina sounded cuter though, the kind of name you'd call a pet and the tall captain certainly would latch onto. Well, that or maybe she could create a cute name for her she was very purple... huh? Maybe murasaki or murasa-? Nope. Asahina it was.

"Well Assa, I'm bored and kinda in love with a girl but she doesn't like me so I'm sad. What about you? Are you doing okay? Is your wellbeing okay or do you need me to do a check up and make sure everything's in tip top shape?"
