ＰＬＡＮＥＴＡＲＹ ＧＵＩＤＥＬＩＮＥＳ ＢＥＬＯＷ ：

𝐈․ this blog is HIGHLY SELECTIVE and mutuals ONLY; I will not be interacting with anyone I don’t follow, and if you are a personal account who interacts with this blog I will block you. if you ever wish to break mutuals with me, please softblock!

𝐈𝐈․ activity will be VERY SPORADIC due to my health, but I will still do my best to respond to replies quickly! it's taken some time for me to come to terms with the fact that I'm now chronically ill, and there's no denying that this does have a HUGE effect on my activity here. if I ever miss a notification or you want to continue a thread I never replied to, please don’t be afraid to shoot me a reminder in DMs ( constant nagging will end in me dropping threads or blocking you, tho )

𝐈𝐈𝐈. please be respectful towards myself and my characters! NO GODMODDING, no magic anons, and the usual applies: racism / sexism / homophobia / transphobia / etc. are not allowed on this blog and I will block anyone who tries throwing any of that my way. any hate received anonymously will be blocked and deleted

𝐈𝐕. all general triggers will be tagged with ___ tw or ___ cw!! I don't plan on including any heavy topics here, but just in case something does come up it will be tagged appropriately — if this tagging system doesn't work for you, please let me know! I'd hate to find out my tags aren't actually being caught by a blocker tbh...

𝐕. this blog is multiverse / multifandom friendly, and comes with a wide variety of verses! hopefully there should be a lil' something for everybody, and if not I'm more than willing to discuss new ideas with mutuals!

𝐕𝐈. OC FRIENDLY, although I will be a bit selective… I’m just goofy in the head so it’s nothing personal if I don’t feel like our characters would mesh well!

𝐕𝐈. this blog is VERY ship-focused, and I love talking pre-established relationships! while I do lean towards romantic / sexual ships, I’m open for platonic as well if you’d like to plot anything out

𝐕𝐈𝐈𝐈. as I approach my 31st birthday, I've grown more uncomfortable interacting with muns under a certain age ( especially given the nature of some of my muses ) so unless we have already been writing for some time now I will ONLY write with muns who are 25+ years old — this applies to smut as well, and muses must be 21+ on all sides ( my own are mid 20s at the youngest ). since I'm very open with nsfw content it will not be moved to a separate blog, and readmores will only be used if my writing partner chooses to use them first. posts will be tagged properly if you don't wish to see anything nsfw from this blog

𝐈𝐗. all NSFW content will be tagged with the following: suggestive cw, nsfw cw. if there are any tags missing or you still see my nsfw on your feed, do let me know and I can fix whatever issues there are!

𝐗. any mention / implication of my female OCs being self-inserts / Mary Sues will be deleted and I will more than likely block whoever is saying such — it's 2026, so please stop calling female original characters that YOU feel are " poorly written " such things. let people have their fun, it doesn't hurt you. to add onto this point ( now that I have male muses ) please don't even bother interacting with me if you're ONLY interested in Adrien / Mydei. my girls have been around much longer while also being more developed as original characters, and female muses deserve much more love than they are given as a whole. pls support your local female muse, especially OCs

𝐗𝐈. given the lack of proper representation within the newest nation even with how many cultures hoyo pulled from for inspiration, I will NOT be writing with any Natlan muses ( excluding any Harbingers we've been introduced to already / might see in 5.x onward ) unless we are mutuals AND I do find myself liking your specific portrayal — Natlan as a whole is a disingenuous blend of cultures much worse than what they had done for Sumeru, and the whole nation has left a bad taste in my mouth. to add onto this I am NOT caught up on genshin but don't care too much about spoilers; however I do ask that out of respect for anyone else you tag your spoilers properly and DO NOT POST LEAKS AT ALL

𝐗𝐈𝐈. this should be obvious enough, but if you actively use / support the usage of generative AI at all, but especially within a creative field like roleplaying, you will be hard blocked. do your research on the harm it does to creatives AND our environment, just stop using it

𝐗𝐈𝐈𝐈. unfortunately I'm a huge yapper, so I will be making OOC posts quite often on this blog — they are always tagged and I do try my best to delete them within 24 hours so they don't bury IC posts, but given the fact that I keep odd hours and I have nobody to talk to I do tend to just... yell into the void here lksghsd. personally I have no issue with blogs that post OOC pretty often, writing is just a silly hobby so we should be free to post whatever on our blogs!

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ ⋆⭒˚.⋆｡°✩ THE REACTION HIS WANDERING touch pulls from Elowen only has him burning hotter, tattoos flickering slightly with the sudden rush of heat and emotion that courses through the prince as he hurries to find them privacy that much faster — soon enough they stumble across a quiet spot in a public garden right on the outskirts of the city, the Kremnoan careful to set his beloved down gently on soft grass before he falls to his knees and climbs over her.

" You devious little minx. "

Words came out rushed, dripping with a desire he always fought to keep in check — hands come to rest on either side of her head as Mydei dips down to capture her lips in a searing kiss, smothering her body with his own as he claims her mouth with a groan. Already he's so hot, so wound up from earlier pictures she'd sent him so freely. Elowen's boldness had always gotten the better of him, surprised him to no end just how far she'd go to push the prince's buttons, but this? It'd been too much, carefully crafted restraint gone now that Mydeimos had her alone.

" Sending me such revealing images when you knew I was busy, have you no shame? What if someone had seen them, taken a peek at what is reserved for my eyes alone? "

One hand comes to grasp at her waist, armored touch cold against her skin as it shifts underneath her clothes and trails along the warmth of her flesh — mouth moves to press a path of kisses from her mouth to her neck, nipping at the skin there as another groan leaves the man.

" To think of another seeing you so intimately makes my blood boil... You are mine, yes? Mine alone, and nobody is allowed to see you in such a way. "

[raesource]

sensual sentence starters

if you are sending to a multi-muse, remember to specify the muse that the sentence starters are being sent for . these are considered usfw / nsfw .

“ Your breath against my neck is the only thing keeping me from losing control right now. ”

“ I can feel your pulse racing under my fingertips - tell me what you want me to do about it. ”

“ Stop looking at me like that unless you’re ready for what comes next. ”

“ Every time you bite your lip, I have to fight the urge to kiss it better. ”

“ The way your body arches when I touch you here ... it’s almost unfair. ”

“ I’ve been thinking about the sound you make when I kiss that spot just below your ear. ”

“ You’re trembling. Is it because my hands are too cold, or because you like this too much? ”

“ If you keep making those little noises, I won’t be held responsible for what happens. ”

“ I want to memorize every inch of you with my lips. ”

“ Tell me to stop, and I will. But we both know you don’t want me to. ”

“ Your skin tastes like sin, and I’m already addicted. ”

“ I love how you melt the second my hands slide under your shirt. ”

“ You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to pin you against this wall. ”

“ The way you say my name like that should be illegal. ”

“ I’m going to take my time with you tonight - every second, every sigh. ”

“ Your thighs are shaking… should I keep going, or do you need a moment? ”

“ I can feel how much you want this. Don’t try to hide it from me. ”

“ Let me watch you fall apart - just like that. ”

“ You’re so responsive … it’s driving me absolutely mad. ”

“ I want to hear you beg, just once, before I give you everything. ”

“ Your hands feel like fire on my skin, and I never want you to stop. ”

“ Kiss me like you’re trying to ruin me for anyone else. ”

“ I love the way your back bows when I trace my tongue down your spine. ”

“ You’re trying so hard to stay quiet … but I want to hear you. ”

“ Tell me where you want my mouth next. ”

“ I could spend hours just teasing you until you can’t take it anymore. ”

“ The heat between us is unbearable - come here. ”

“ You look so beautiful like this, flushed and breathless because of me. ”

“ I want to feel you come undone beneath my hands. ”

“ Every time you touch me, it feels like the first time all over again. ”

“ Your lips are swollen from my kisses … and I’m not even close to done. ”

“ I love how you grip the sheets when I do that. ”

“ You taste even better than I imagined. ”

“ Don’t close your eyes - I want to see everything you’re feeling. ”

“ I’m going to ruin you in the sweetest way possible. ”

“ Your body fits against mine like it was made for this. ”

“ I can’t decide if I want to go slow and savor you, or lose myself completely. ”

“ The way you whisper my name when I’m inside you … I’ll never get enough. ”

“ You’re so wet / hard already, and I’ve barely touched you. ”

“ Let me mark you here, where only I can see. ”

“ I want to feel your nails in my back while you fall apart. ”

“ You have no idea what you do to me when you look at me like that. ”

“ I’m going to kiss every place that makes you gasp. ”

“ Your hips moving against mine like that - it’s torture. ”

“ I love how you surrender when I finally give you what you’ve been craving. ”

“ Stay still … or I’ll have to start all over again. ”

“ The sounds you’re making are going to haunt my dreams. ”

“ I want you so badly it hurts to hold back. ”

“ Come closer - I need to feel every inch of you against me. ”

“ Tonight, you’re mine, and I’m going to remind you exactly why. ”

AS IF SHE needs to ask him for such a thing. Pierrot doesn't even allow himself a moment to question whether he should or not because how does he know if she's safe? He's already bending at the knee and kneeling down, inclining his head forward enough so she's able to easily reach his wound. Thankfully, there was no damage to the mask itself. He would have been more than upset if such a precious item got damaged due to his carelessness.

WHEN SHE DARES to draw closer, his breath hitches, and he takes in her scent. Oh...! She smelled wonderful, as if she had just stepped right out of a bakery shop. Has she just visited one or... perhaps she owns the one that was nearby that he had been curious to check out, but too nervous to do so with so many people around. Regardless, the smell reminds him of whenever he's baking treats for the other members of the troupe since sweets were his favorite thing to make.

SINCE THE CROWD had long since dispersed and it was just Pauli near him, Pierrot glances down and dares to speak, keeping his voice low so only she can hear him. "I hope... this isn't an inconvenience to you in any way. I... want to thank you for your help, so... Thank you." His voice was oddly deeply pitched and somewhat gravelly from misuse. This had been the first time today that he had spoken. His gaze slowly rises, and for a brief moment, he makes eye contact. A smile forms on pale features, but of course, this does not last long before he breaks eye contact, shyness getting the better of him.

[galacticistic]

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ ⋆⭒˚.⋆｡°✩ WITH THE DISTANCE NOW closed between them, Pauli is careful in how she wipes away the blood, a focused expression taking over soft features as she looks over the masked visage of the performer for any other injuries. Fortunately it only seems to be that one spot, gaze warm as she pulls away to swap out for a clean tissue before starting right up again. She hears immediately how his breath hitches, freezes for a moment concerned that maybe she'd been too rough in cleaning him up, only daring to move when silence falls between them yet again.

Lips purse into a slight pout when Pauli soon realizes the tissues aren't doing much as fresh blood began to trickle over where she'd just cleaned, mouth open to say something before his raspy tone interrupted. Eyes widen as she carefully listens to the stranger, smile returning as her head shook in a silent answer before she found herself speaking once more.

" It's fine, I offered my help so it's not an inconvenience. I just wish I had more to patch you up with… "

Trailing off, Pauli finds herself holding eye contact with him for that brief moment, blinking yet again when he pulls his gaze away so suddenly — it makes a flush rise to her cheeks thinking that he could be so shy around someone like her, smile shifting with an emotion she couldn't quite place as her own gaze drops to the ground between them. It's quickly shoved aside though, considering he's still bleeding and there's not much she has on her that can help… Her bakery wasn't too far away, so maybe she could help him there..?

" My, u-uh… My shop is just around the corner if you'd wanna come with me? And I can properly bandage you up, since your bleeding hasn't stopped. "

[botikaria]

〖 ☆ 〗I'm still needing to play the quests in the area, but given it's closeness to Fontaine I've decided that if I were to give Pauli a home away from home, I'd be plopping her down in Chenyu Vale ( more specifically: Yilong Wharf ). It wouldn't necessarily be a permanent place for her to stay, just a small room she rents attached to a tea shop or something similar — someplace cozy and warm that she can rest at when home is still too far away. There's just something so serene about this newest area that I think Pauli would absolutely love spending her off time there, and the abundance of local plants would also benefit her work!

If she did ever want to settle down somewhere besides her home village I could definitely see her opening up a tiny apothecary shop right there on the wharf, or even spend her days working in any local shops that need an extra hand. I also love the idea of her adding to her medicinal knowledge by learning traditional Liyue methods, and being right there on the wharf seems like a good place for her to be close enough to the resources needed to expand her knowledge.

↳ HISTORICAL ARCHIVES — PAULI'S BAKERY

⋆⭒˚.⋆｡°✩ THE OKINDEGIA HAS BEEN a staple for three generations now, a humble family-run bakery nestled in the heart of the city and unchanging throughout the years — one would think that keeping the recipes the same would make the business suffer as time passed, but fortunately for the current owner those very recipes are what makes the place so popular! Initially opened by a man named Manuel Araquistain as a way to support himself and his new wife after moving into the US, The Okindegia is now a local favorite and hidden gem, offering a wide variety of baked goods with a homemade touch that's unbeatable.

Visitors to the shop can not only indulge in one of a kind treats taken from the recipes Manuel grew up on, but also learn about the history of the family who opened the bakery — how a couple wanting to start a new life together soon blossomed into a beautiful family, and a granddaughter who wanted nothing more than to take over the business eventually became the woman in charge of it to this day. Despite how far from home they all are, The Okindegia is a small slice of Basque Country that shares their culture with the city, if customers are lucky enough to catch the eldest Araquistain and lend an ear to the old man's stories.

CAPTAIN'S NOTE : wanted to keep this one a lil' shorter than usual, so I'm putting extra details under the cut I couldn't fit properly into the blurb above!

Manuel ( Pauli's paternal grandfather ) and his future wife ( Frantziska ) were both born and grew up in Basque Country, eventually moving to the US after their marriage to seek out better opportunities — since Manuel loves to bake he decided to rent out a two story building and convert the bottom lot into the bakery. The couple run it on their own for a few years before they finally find themselves in a good financial spot to have a child: their only son Luken

as the bakery grew more and more successful, the Araquistain family was able to use extra funds to take annual trips back home in hopes of keeping their son connected to their shared culture; it's on one of these summer trips that a young Luken meets Nikole for the first time. Throughout the years they keep in touch through letters and always meet up when Luken returns to the country, which helps a relationship to blossom between the two long into their shared adulthood

Luken and Nikole eventually get married, and shortly after Pauli is brought into the world! The family all lives in the small apartment above The Okindegia, allowing Pauli to be raised by her grandparents as well as her own parents. Her biggest connection happens to be with her grandfather Manuel, who always allows her to help in the kitchen and teaches her all the recipes that got them to where they are now

with the bakery continuing to bring in good cash for the family, they're eventually able to purchase the building and leave it to Pauli to inherit should she choose when she's older — this also allows for the grandparents to move into their own place nearby, allowing Manuel to keep coming over to work the bakery up until he physically can't anymore

after her grandfather's retirement, Luken and his wife Nikole take over full time in the bakery up until Pauli is old enough to handle it on her own; I'd say she takes over around mid 20s and becomes the sole owner of the property. Her parents move in with the grandparents to keep an eye on them in their old age, which means Pauli has the whole apartment upstairs to herself as well

INCOMING TRANSMISSION . . .

@constellaris || unprompted for one ( 1 ) sweet gal ↳ Funny how even the mundane can be entertaining to one that has seen thousands of years come and go, but there sat Isolde, an iced coffee and croissant in front of her as she watched over Pauli while she worked. Every time their eyes met the witch's lips curled into that enticing smile, a kiss blown and wink given just to see those cheeks flush so prettily ... When there was finally a lull in customers, however, she was over in an instant, arms draping over the younger woman's shoulders as she leaned in to kiss behind one ear. "Think I can have a little sample of the most delicious treat in your store , my dear~?"

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ ⋆⭒˚.⋆｡°✩ EVER SINCE ISOLDE CAME into her life, Pauli had found herself struggling to function like a normal person — well, normal was a bit of a stretch, considering how she's always been easy to fluster. But that was always situational! Being at work spared her of that, gave her a break from the teasing she received from close friends and how much she had struggled to be brave enough for dating. Her bakery was a place of peace for her, even during the busiest times of the year, but now it seemed she couldn't catch a break!

She's not complaining too much though.

Who could when there's a gorgeous woman always hanging around her shop, keeping Pauli company on slow days and sharing words of encouragement when the line of customers never seemed to end… She's grateful for Isolde's presence, even if her warm gaze always caused the younger woman to flush immediately. She was magnetic, a force Pauli couldn't keep herself away from, gaze returning to the witch over and over again even though it did nothing to help her focus on her work.

Much worse than that though, was how Isolde behaved when nobody else was around — Pauli squeaked audibly when arms suddenly came to drape over her, eyes wide and face burning hot at that little kiss pressed to such a sensitive spot. It already had her feeling weak in the knees, teeth digging into the swell of her bottom lip and cutting off a gasp that threatened to slip out at the teasing words whispered to her.

" I-Isolde! Not now, I… There's still a couple hours left before I can close up shop. "

〚 ☆ 〛SO NORMALLY I'D JUST REPLY ON THE ORIGINAL POST LIKE A REGULAR GUY BUT your comment was too funny to leave in the replies and inspired me to make my own edit of that meme so ouhgsdhg.

[galacticistic]

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ ⋆⭒˚.⋆｡°✩ STARES... OH, HOW SHE wishes to give smooches to all of the tall cuties out there deserving of kisses but she is so short. Maybe she should invest in a step stool or something, one small enough to carry around easily so Pauli finds herself prepared for whenever kisses are needed!

[galacticistic]

↳ @constellaris || continued from here

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ ⋆⭒˚.⋆｡°✩ THE GRIP HARIN HAS on his shirt only seems to push him more, make Adrien whine into her mouth as his tongue greedily seeks out her own and all but consumes her — strong hands come to grab at her thighs, helping to hoist her up higher and keep the woman firmly pressed to the door as Adrien quickly closes whatever remaining distance is left between them. With the new angle it's obvious how worked up he is, the strain in his sweats clear with how he ruts against his wife and another choked noise getting lost in the messy connection of their mouths. Already his mind is spinning, delirious on his desire for Harin as he breaks the kiss only to bury his face into her neck with a deep sigh.

" Missed you, missed y'so much today… "

It'd be impossible for him to sound any more pathetic, hands sliding up to fondle the roundness of her ass and teeth scraping over her warm flesh before sinking in to bite right into a spot he knew was sensitive. Normally there's a bit more care in how Adrien treats her, sparing no chance in doting on his beautiful wife, but much like a man possessed there's no patience left in him, definitely not enough to spare her back and find a more comfortable position in their bedroom.

[idlcspace]

"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT- YOU got me." Harlequin holds his hands up in a palliative manner. "Since it's my first time here, I decided to look up some attractions to visit when I'm not working, and I heard there was a club of sorts nearby. I was wondering if it was like any of the clubs I'm used to back at home." He lowers his hands back down, settling them on his hips. "I was able to figure out it was around here somewhere, but I got lost, and since you're the only one around, I figured you might be heading to the same place, though you're welcome to tell me if I'm wrong or not."

NOT QUITE THE truth but also, not quite a lie. The circus always made it a habit to thoroughly look up the places they would visit, in case any special holidays were coming up that they could use to their advantage to blend in better or learn the languages of the locals, so there would be no language barriers. Harlequin had overheard Jester mention a club, and he was instantly interested. He was known to visit them whenever he could, so he could dance and maybe treat some humans to a fun time.

"IF THIS WERE a marketing tactic, it would be a rather poor one. No, instead, I'd do something like this-" Harlequin pulls out a small puppet from his pocket and sets it down on the ground. He gives it a light nudge with his foot, and it springs right up, spinning a few times before walking towards Eva herself. He skillfully moves his fingers, which control the puppet, but where the strings were was anyone's guess. As he makes the puppet do a bow, it suddenly pulls out a rose and offers it to Eva. "Well... Don't just stand there. Take it from them. They grew it themselves, you know. Uma linda rosa para uma linda senhora."

[galacticistic]

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ ⋆⭒˚.⋆｡°✩ HIS CAREFUL ADMISSION DOESN'T do anything to help Eva lower her guard, expression unwavering as she kept her eyes on him — had it been anyone else, any other club in the city, perhaps she would've bought his excuse. But her establishment ( as successful as it was ) was still considered more underground than anything, something no normal person would hear about without knowing who to talk to… Fingers tap against the leather strap of her purse where hand is still clinging to it, the woman clearly thinking about a way to respond before a deep breath leaves her.

" It's not a typical night club, and you're definitely not dressed appropriately to go in. "

Eva won't confirm if that's where she's heading or not, he'll find out if he continues to follow her like she suspects he will… She's about to say something else when the masked performer cuts in, revealing a puppet and setting it down on the ground between them. Expression shifts as intrigue briefly shows itself on now softening features, the woman's gaze dropping to the small puppet now as it's master controls it with what she could only assume was invisible thread. He's good, she'll give him that, the puppet approaching her with precise little steps before dropping into a bow. Eva's about to sarcastically commend him on a great performance when the rose is presented, eyes widening subtly before him as foreign words reach her ears.

Spanish? No, not quite… Similar enough that she can make out a rough translation, gaze flicking back up to the strange green glow watching her from underneath his mask.

" Cute, but I'm afraid I'll have to decline. My mother told me not to take things from strangers. "

THE SCENE WAS very reminiscent of the serpent offering out the apple to Eve, waiting for her to grab it and take a bite. His honey-laced words seem to have been enough of a temptation for her to take his hand even without knowing what he might have in store for her. But wasn't that the fun of it, where the excitement and curiosity overrode any sense of logic? Who cares if he could be dangerous? She won't know if the so-called rumors are true unless she finds out for herself, right?

REGARDLESS OF AS soon as Pauli's hand slips into his, her fate is sealed, and he begins to guide her back towards the circus. The usual eerie ambience of the circus's music plays around them as he takes one path and then another through the tents. When they reach his, he peers back and smiles; his thumb rubbing over her knuckles as if to say, 'We're almost there'. The entrance to his tent is dark, only plunging them further into the darkness once they step through. Since he's able to see in the dark compared to Pauli, Harlequin continues to lead her, even giving her hand a bit of a squeeze as if to reassure her she'll be alright. Once they reach the back, his living quarters more or less, he suddenly lets go of her hand, leaving her isolated in the dark.

HE'S IN HIS element like this. Harlequin sets the treats off to the side somewhere and begins to advance, circling her much like a predator would their prey. The only visible light that could be seen was his glowing eyes, which would disappear only to reappear in another spot as he silently moved around the room. There's a moment where his eyes disappear completely from view. He uses this as an opportunity to sneak up from behind and abruptly grab her, pulling her towards his chest. "You're not scared of the dark, are you?" He questions, his tone that of mockery.

"THERE ARE WORSE things to be afraid of than the dark. You should be scared of what's in the dark more than anything else." Harlequin's hands travel up Pauli's sides, pausing just a little above her ribcage. If she's paying attention, she'll start to feel something else touching her that is not his hands. Whatever they are, they coil and twist around her legs, purposely grazing the inside of her thighs. They seem to be smooth yet cool to the touch, only warming up the more they touch, as if they're siphoning her warmth. Upon closer inspection, they're subtly glowing along their undersides, becoming brighter with more activity and movement. One slithers upwards to nudge her in the cheek lightly.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ ⋆⭒˚.⋆｡°✩ REALITY FINALLY HITS HER the moment music reaches her ears, any daze Pauli had been swept up in now gone as she took a moment to process what she'd gotten herself into. Up until now she'd never come close enough to the circus to hear what they played to enhance the experience, an eerie tune floating through the air and causing anxiety to spike in her blood. It doesn't help that Harlequin seems to be leading her deeper and deeper into the sea of various colored tents, music only growing louder the closer to the center they go. If she were to scream, would anyone hear her? Pauli dreads to find out the answer to that question.

Soon enough a green tent is before them, and the masked performer is shooting a glance back to smile at Pauli — the brush of his thumb over her knuckles does little to ease her worries, and yet still doesn't fail in making her heart jump at such simple contact. For a brief moment she thinks that maybe she's just overreacting, that her fears are nothing more than misinterpreted anxiety over a new situation, but that thought goes straight out the window when she's pulled into complete darkness by a stranger she put far too much trust into.

Tensing up, Pauli's grip on his hand only tightens when she felt the brief squeeze of reassurance, the woman stumbling over her feet as she's guided through the dark before suddenly, she's left without his touch. Without that anchor true panic sets in, heart racing so fast now it's suffocating — frantically does she whip her head around in hopes of spotting him in the dark, jolting when gaze meets his own glowing eyes only to lose them just as quick. Scared to even attempt at walking away, Pauli stays put exactly where he left her, feet firmly planted on the ground as she turns to seek out his gaze once more.

There's no answering Harlequin's question when he grabs her, body jumping nearly out of his hold as the woman somehow manages to hold back her scream. She's trembling now, hands reaching out to grasp at the loose material of his sleeves as a lifeline despite him being the exact reason she's so scared. Without being able to see, every other sense is heightened, her body acutely aware of his touch along her sides even as she struggles to pull herself together. It's strangely grounding, chest shuddering under his hold as she sucks in a breath and allows herself to focus in on where his hands rest. Maybe this is all fine, she thinks, finally able to relax a bit and calm her racing heart.

The touch along her legs brings her right back to that panicked state. Even through her clothing Pauli could feel how much colder the caress was compared to her own body heat, gaze dropping despite her inability to see in hopes of catching whatever it was currently wrapping around her thighs and so dangerously close to the apex between them. When she's greeted with the faint glow of green, the same shade of his eyes, a noise left her out of pure confusion, attention drawn right back up to the masked visage of Harlequin as another one of those inhuman appendages touched her cheek.

" W-What… Are those you? What are they..? "

What are you goes unsaid, and perhaps that's for the best.
