✟ a servant.

[averageone-blog]

The tanned fe .. male male looking down at the petite blonde. With as much regality and poise she looked down at the other, trying to maintain that friendly atmosphere. Though the girl, she had seen her before, and she normally had such a happy aura around her despite the deathly silence that came along with her. And this glare seemed a bit .. off. She silently minded that it must’ve been the cause of whatever was doing this to all of them.

That reminded her, as Archer, she needed to maintain the guise of a role model. At least, for now. So, all she had to do was act him Archer? She would’ve sighed if not for the fact that she knew the other fairly well. Rin’s now tall and masculine stature hovered over the girl, brows arching before—

“Is there any reason you’re staring or are you too embarrassed to speak?”

He used that special brand of cockiness that would make you want to punch him and at the same time fluster with embarrassment. So, for the moment, no, she wouldn’t move, not until she made the other prove their point thoroughly.

[grumpytree-blog]

Unfortunately for her, Tsuyukusa did a terrible job when it came down to keeping up with appearance. The most he knew about the young girl who is the original owner of this winged body was that she was a mute, and that was possibly the most difficult thing for the kodama had to deal with. Main fact being that he was possibly one of the loudest characters on the campus, even while he didn't realize it.

And based on the appearances of the tall male before hi-- her, whatever, it had brought tiny hands to be placed on unfamiliar hips. While it should be somewhat odd with the actions he was doing, the male was indifferent on the entire ordeal due to this situation.

And man did this guy piss Tsuyukusa off. Already.

It's not exactly easy to tell someone to pop off when you're a mute. So his comment had basically forced those lips to curve into what would be similar to Tsuyukusa's. Or, at least, as similar to it as he could possibly make it with this body of his... which probably didn't turn out to be much.

But being unable to respond verbally, he had simply shook the blond's head. Having to push back strands of hair that just so happened to get in the way. Oh, just another thing to add on his list of what all annoyed him most about this day.

[averageone-blog]

✟ a servant.

Her eyes fluttered open, arms outstretching (though it was a bit odd, her arms were hitting things), and with little compliance on her body to get up, she had to force herself. She wasn’t exactly a morning person and, quite frankly, splashing cold water on her face had always done the trick well. That, and arranging the dual tails on either side of her head to their natural state (though she felt the distinct lack of hair on her shoulders). She had gotten up, went to the bathroom, and finally opened her groggy eyes to see .. ..

” … .. ” if there were any words to describe her expression, or her face, it’d be a mix of pure shock, embarrassment, and anger. At the very least, that would explain her elevation in height and the fact she was— yes, let’s try and do this the rational way. Rational, yes, Rin had to think as calmly as possible .. 

That was, at the moment, very hard. When she had the glaring face of Archer staring at her, his brow arching when she would hers (that’s because they are hers) and physique no where near her original. She cursed under her breath, not enjoying the spectacle. But there was nothing she could do about it, if anything, she had to wait and hope this would end. Or, take the matter into her own hands.

That thought didn’t exactly occur to her as steadily until she walked out, dressed in rather casual clothing across campus because like hell she planned to do janitor work— and then she wondered ..

“Wait, if I’m in Archer’s body .. then that would mean .. “

He was in hers.

[grumpytree-blog]

Tsuyukusa, on the other hand, gradually became indifferent over the entire ordeal and simply went through his day like he would any other. While figuring out the physical capabilities that this body had left him with little to do -- which, he may as well add, disappointed him greatly. Let alone the events as of late in which he had to witness himself cry...

Just another thing on the list of things he'll never mention to anyone.

Pushing the previous events intothe back of his mind, the kodama had decided that he continue on his day while attempting to do little damage on Nill's reputation as he possibly could. Which would be easy with the little interaction he did in the first place.

Or, at least, the best he could to avoid these interactions. Which only proved to be an utter failure no matter how many times he had tried --  yet he still notice little of it. And this situation just so happened to be nothing more than another bit of proof of how unlucky he was in his attempts.

Especially since someone just so happened to stop with the possibly dumbest look on their face. Only catching bits and pieces of whatever the "male" -- who even knows, anymore -- before the body of the young girl that he just so happened to have the misfortune to be occupying.

Because being mute didn't exactly make telling someone to move out of your way easy. And if only Tsuyukusa was able to tell who was currently occupying the body of the male before him or he would have quickly turned around and walked off into the other direction.

But since he didn't, have a glare. Or the best glare he was able to give right now.

“…—-”

Upon waking up, Nill felt.. weird. Out of it? It felt different than how her body normally did, and her first concern was over if she had caught some sort of illness or not. But, upon making her way to the washroom to wash her face, she would look up at the mirror to see somebody else. Eyes would widen, a hand reaching up to the reflection, then to herself — or himself, now. Though it hadn’t yet hit her that she could speak now, not being used to that sort of thing. It had .. become normal for her to stay quiet no matter what, since even if she tried, nothing would come out. 

Upon leaving the building on confused, wobbly feet like a newborn deer, the girl-turned-boy would hear the pitter pattering of shoes against cement grounds, turning around to see none other than herself. 

Once again, her eyes would grow wide, and so would the other’s as they stared down their own body — except they weren’t the one in it. 

“ Ah.. !? ”

Softly, the girl inside the demon’s body would gasp, and hands would fly up over her mouth as she heard herself — it wasn’t her own voice, but she heard it. And for a moment, she completely forgot about her surroundings. About her own very self standing directly in front of her. Quietly, slowly, she would mumble with this new-found voice, growing louder and louder. Though her speech wasn’t fluent since she had never actually spoken before, the words were comprehensible.

“ How.. how? ”

Although the voice wasn’t her own — it would never be her own — it came out in quiet, feminine squeaks. She kept repeating that one word until she felt something wet slide down her cheeks. She didn’t have to check to know what they were. Sinking to her knees, she would begin to sob, covering her face as the feelings overwhelmed her. To feel a voice hum deep in her throat, to hear herself speak at will .. to hear herself. Even if it wasn’t her own .. she never knew something like this could happen.

To hear her own sobs, to hear her own whimpers as she cried .. it only brought more tears to flow down. Nothing else existed to her during this moment. 

“ Nill, “ she would say with a cracked voice. “ Nill. I am Nill. “ The more she said it the more she cried, to the point where she could no longer speak through choked sobs — through all this, she hadn’t yet once questioned how in the world this could have possibly happened. Not once.

[grumpytree-blog]

While it was already bad enough seeing his body react in such a way, Tsuyukusa's own bit of rage and outright annoyance was completely blown away once he had watched the tears roll down his own cheeks.

Despite it not being his tears, nor was it anything that he would even bother crying over, the person who was currently the owner of his body was in complete shock. Watching as their lips trembled, with the sight of the body of a kodama so easily sink to their knees.

It was... something that he never bothered to think about.

But it certainly did bring bad memories of the past. When the only time he allowed himself to appear weak -- allowing himself to cry over the death of the only person that he had so easily welcomed into his life. The tears, the pain, the feeling of his heart falling into the bottom of his chest as she watched as Nill cried.

And he needed to repeat that to himself. It was Nill crying. Despite not really knowing the girl well enough due to their quick departure in the past, it still did bring the demon to feel some kind of sympathy as he heard his voice.

“ Nill. I am Nill. “

That's right. While it was still a surprise to him when he had first attempted to speak that he was unable to, that brought back the memory of when they had first spoke. Of the irritation he had previously felt towards her when he had first thought of her to be nothing more than a shy girl unwilling to speak -- to which the reason why being told only moments later, brought a sudden feeling a guilt that Tsuyukusa himself began to grow foreign of.

It wasn't her voice, but she was able to hear it. With no knowledge of how long she was unable to talk, the tears she had shed while in his body were more than enough proof that she possibly even forgot what her voice previously was...

Damnit.

While he was concerned with him appearing so weak before a world of nothing more -- or what he's currently aware of -- humans, his greatest concern for the time being was to stop the girl who was currently in his body from continuing to cry. Even with his now inability to speak, that didn't mean that he was not able to at least comfort her with a pat on the back, right?

That would be... good enough, right?

Hell, he couldn't just leave it at that. Kneeling down before her -- or rather, himself, this is just becoming too confusing now -- tiny arms rose to wrap around his body. However, he was more than hesitant while doing so, slender fingers even giving a twitch as he slowly began to run through familiar green hair.

It was... awkward, to say the least.

But it was Nill. The person crying before the kodama wasn't himself, it was the poor girl who was in such a shock of being able to speak that it had brought her to tears. And the only thing that he was able to do for the time being was comfort her with a gentle embrace.

Well this is awkward.

When Tsuyukusa had awoke, he had felt a difference in his entire being to begin with. Having to lived as a demon all his life, it was difficult not to notice that he was not currently in the body that so easily separated himself from being a human. Not to mention the pair of wings on this body that her was occupying made it the entire ordeal even more irritable.

Having seen the face before, the... once male had already so simply stepped out of the girl's dorm room in order to find the location of his body. With blue eyes scanning the area for any sign of life, the young male was all more than ready to shout at the first person he caught eye of in order to gain some kind of information.

Unfortunately enough, as soon as the usually very loud-mouthed brat parted his lips to speak, not a single word came from his mouth. Oh. Hell. No.

Being a demon known for speaking without any sense of both hesitation or consequence, this had filled his annoyance to the brim.

And now, what those probably previously seen as nothing more than innocent little blond girl with a pair of wings on her back -- an angel -- would now be seen approaching whoever just may be near. And based off of the current expressions, it was easy to tell that whoever was in charge of this body was not a happy camper.

And with little to no mannerism at all, Tsuyukusa had so boldly pointed at said person with hope of grabbing their attention.

Yeah. You. Get over here. Now.

Before he learns just how physically weak this body is, too.

Instinct told her to latch onto anything that could stop the fall from happening, and in a panic she had picked the nearest thing— him. She didn’t have time to think, and still couldn’t register anything properly. The only thing she could really account for was the tight hold around her and the tumbling as they went further down the stairs until they had reached a flat surface. 

Or rather, until she felt the impact he made with the wall, shutting her eyes tighter  and burying her head against him, tensing up until she had realized she had a steady heart rate, no longer feeling that ring of alarm within her mind as she did before. As he sighed, she released the breath she had unknowingly held and shook a little as she did. The girl was tough, but she had her limits and she knew them well. 

Blue, blue eyes widened a bit in slow realization. 

” .. Well I’m fine now, aren’t I?!” Rin shouted back as she moved her own head up in response to his booming voice. Her ears were practically ringing with how loud he was, and she unknowingly winced because of it. That bravado of hers still didn’t back down despite what had just happened or how alarmingly close they were. In fact, they were bickering as if it never happened. “It’s not like I did that on purpose, so stop acting like I did!!” she protested, fully knowing that what he said was true.

— Ring ring.

The sound of alarm!

“H-Hey ..!! Why are you so close?!” she blabbered, cheeks heating up in embarrassment and because why him of all people—!! It was ridiculous, if she hadn’t been careful she might’ve bumped her head against his chin when she had first lifted it up to respond. But now, she moved her gaze elsewhere, fully knowing it’s the only way of keeping herself from making the situation worse than it is. 

Worse, being trying to violently wiggle out of his grip, and at the moment she was slowly beginning to wiggle out of his arms but finding it hard when his grip was just as tight as before. It was hard to tell whether she was angry, thankful for his help, or embarrassed because of her anger or the proximity.

[grumpytree-blog]

"Tch."

There was no reason for her to even attempt to escape from his grip, because he had so easily let her go after her got some kind of reassurance that she was fine.

Which he was beginning to regret on even bothering to help. A demon that was in such a high ranked level, such as himself, could have easily gotten away from her grasp in the beginning of the fall. To only watch her fall and crash to which he could have been at his club already. This girl was becoming more of annoyance with each breathe she took, since he had already had enough trouble making sure that she still had air in her lungs to begin with.

"Quiet down, will you? You're gonna end up bringing someone over here."

And he would have hated being in a situation like that. With her being that close, it was already bad enough for the kodama. But in all honesty -- no matter how much he wanted to deny it -- he could not just simply leave her to tumble down the stairs and thus possibly being hurt.

Confusing, being that he had a resent towards humans. It should have been much more easier for him to just simply do that much rather than end up getting hurt.

With these thoughts in mind, Tsuyukusa grew upset with his own inner conflict. With him as a person being unable to let someone be hurt, all while his own hate continuously reminding him of his loss, had already brought him to be more than annoyed with the current situation.

So it shouldn't be that much of a surprise with him to immediately give him and the girl some distance before standing him. Maneuvering himself over towards the edge of the staircase before quickly turned back to her, "This never happened, you got it?"

And before she could respond, he had already jumped over the edge and landed on the first floor. Which, oh look, their club just so happened to be on this floor.

Lily might’ve (though doubtfully) been able to excuse the rude remarks this boy was saying to her, but she just couldn’t seem to get past his glare that never seemed to falter. Lily tried to match it, glaring back at him, but it broke seconds later as she finally crumbled to her anger and frustration.

“Don’t flatter yourself, boy! I just want to know your name so I know how to find you later!”

Lily had been called stupid many times. And that wasn’t even counting other variants of the word, like idiot and moron. Naturally, it was a touchy subject to her. So as soon as her brain was in question, she snapped, forgetting her plan to not make a total fool of herself on the first day. She quickly grabbed his finger in protest.

“Of course I have a brain, stupid! Do you? I couldn’t tell under that dumb-looking hair of yours!” Lily knew insulting appearances usually worked better on females, but in the heat of the moment, she was at a loss for a good insult. “What’s your problem? Are you trying to be a jerk or something? You’re an idiot!”

[grumpytree-blog]

As soon as he felt her fingers wrap around his, the kodama quickly jerked his hand back out of her grasp and back to his side. Even if he were already insulting someone, that did not mean he would allow anyone to physically touch him in any way.

Now was she really that desperate to find out his name in order to kill him? Tsuyukusa couldn't smell a single hint of human blood -- that wasn't her own -- on this girl's body. Since he had experienced enough blood shed, let it be from someone else or from Tsuyukusa himself, to be able to notice if someone were a possible threat or not.

And this girl, was definitely nothing of the sort.

"Tsuyukusa." Unfazed by her insults, he simply told her his name without any second thoughts or hesitation, "And I'm not being a jerk, I'm just asking an honest question. Can't you tell the difference?"

“Hahi!”

— ….. this was a boy, huh.

This time, you could tell the difference. So by the time she let go of him in the club room she led him too, she surveyed him, very closely. One could say she was almost judging his appearance, his hair, his scowl, his natural glare. His style was messy but … she hummed in deep and serious thought.

“Haru can’t remember if she has any more pins or not…”

She mumbled to herself, completely ignoring any kind of reaction from the other. By now, he could figure he was going to become a lady. A … okay looking lady. She didn’t account for a guy since her whole plan was supposed to be a girl modeling for her. This provided a nasty dilemma, but she would fix it! “Sit down on that chair!” Because she was getting the makeup kit and, even worse, the brush and pins. She had to double check in her bag to see if she brought anything she could use.

“Hurry, sit! Haru’ll be with you in a sec!”

[grumpytree-blog]

And he can tell just how carefully she was judging him.

Not being one to care much about his appearance, Tsuyukusa only focused on keep his hair short and having the charm cloth that Bonten prepared for him everywhere he went. But that was more of a requirement, since if he didn't carry it than it would take little to no time for his true appearance to be shown. Let alone the skills that he has yet to perfect.

So Tsuyukusa sure as hell wasn't going to change anytime soon. Not even to help this girl with whatever she needed.

"Whatever."

While she did her short examination on him, Tsuyukusa was doing one of his own. And whatever this girl had on mind, he didn't like it. Just based on how had she was concentrating on whatever she had on mind, the kodama had already made a good enough guess that he should just leave.

And as soon as she turned around, it took little to no time for him to go straight to the door out.

She’d use her bag to hit him so she could get a head start if she wasn’t trying to keep her balance.

As their shoulders hit, Rin kept her gaze forward and from time to time glanced at the other to intimidate him. This wasn’t the first time this has happened, after all. The girl was more than physically fit, and capable to take the other in this kind of simple race .. but with such high stakes (aka her pride) it was hard not to get invested when her opponent was someone so obnoxious and haughty without even needing to do anything.

And sadly, Tsuyukusa, she wouldn’t be leaving your side any sooner than you were hers. You were, quite frankly, stuck with her for the rest of the year.

But hey she didn’t know that and she didn’t want to! Especially since she was more preoccupied with winning this race. If she had managed to hear those thoughts going through his head, she might’ve called him sexist. Even more, she would’ve decalred his defeat right then and there. Without a doubt, why wouldn’t she win?

This would be a challenge, though, yet that didn’t lead her away from the fact that: this would be far too easy to win against him.

“Maybe when you get out of my way!!”

They managed to reach another set of stairs, what floor were they on again? “Just go to your club!!” She yelled, shoving him with her shoulder a bit more before suddenly sliding forward due to attentiveness in footing—

—and guess who she dragged down along with her down the stairs.

[grumpytree-blog]

And if she were to do that, he'd probably end up tripping her without a seconds worth of hesitation.

Unfortunately for him, he would have to be stuck with this girl whose competitive nature had reminded him too much of Bonten. To the point that he was close to not even bothering to ever learn her name and simply just call her by that.

"My club is this way, asshole!"

However, even if he was getting completely annoyed by this girl in every single shape and form, her fall was taken into notice right in the beginning. Yes. She pissed him off. But there was no way that he would possibly let her get hurt, so --

But it seemed that she had already got a hold on him, and Tsuyukusa came tumbling down right after her. Despite the fact that he had took a hold on her already, he had no other idea of what to do in this certain situation other than to simply hold onto her and casually roll down a set of stairs.

Being that of a high-ranked demon, the fall was nothing more than a few bumps on the road. It didn't harm him in the least, and for the time being he was just trying to make sure that the dark-haired girl wasn't being harmed in the process.

Once he had felt his back hit hard against a wall, the green haired male took in a deep breathe of relief that it had finally ended.

As soon as that was over, he looked down at the young girl in his arms and immediately glared at her.

"Fucking dumbass!!"

"The hell were you thinking? You could've gotten killed!"

☂ a melody? [open/intro post]

[jellyshits-blog]

A voice came from above the silver-haired male’s head, literally freezing every muscle in his body mid-step and the song ceased, a few seconds passed before he completely relaxed and turned his head this direction and that. Clear was utterly confused, beginning to show it even in his body language until his search ended with his head cocking back to face the tree above. Light reflecting briefly through the lenses of his mask, he could faintly make out the shape of a younger-looking male body with hair the same color as the green grass and pretty much… anything green!

Oh, how green this kid’s hair was.

“Oh my…”

Realizing just how awkwardly Clear was standing, arms before him and his fingers curled in almost menacingly and his legs spread apart where he was basically crouching down. What’s more, he was looking straight up. 

Now, are you a monkey or a man, Clear?

Neither. 

“Ah…oh!” said Clear when he finally stood erect and stepped back a few paces for a more comfortable view of the boy in the tree. “You don’t know it? It’s The Jellyfish Song!”

Everyone who’s anyone knew that the song he dubbed to be “The Jellyfish Song” was Clear’s absolute favorite to sing when his mood was light and cheery. However, it was strange for him to actually find someone else that would question his favorite song. He must know why!

[grumpytree-blog]

While the silver-haired male just simply stood there in possibly the most awkward position to be after Tsuyukusa announced himself, the only question he had in mind was why he had that gas mask on now. Screw the song, it wasn't exactly normal for one to be hiding their face unless they had a reason for doing so.

So it definitely was something found at least some kind of interest in.

Back on the subject over this song of his, the kodama simply tilted his head to the side once he had finally been answered. Of all things he could be singing about, it was somewhat of a surprise that someone had came along and created a song with a creature that Tsuyukusa had little to no interest to.

And it was clearly exposing the lack of creativity that people had.

"The Jellyfish Song?"

"Sounds terrible."

[harutastic-blog]

✿ so a favor is needed-

“Hahi!!”

How could she forget something so important!! The brunette raised her head, just remembering a gravely important thing… it was life or death, this was life or death! Haru rushed sewing the final piece to the fabric before dropping the pin and scurrying up. She had almost fallen just trying to get up from how quickly her heart was beating from her lack of memory. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy— she looked around the club room, only finding herself and the massive amount of clothes present. 

“Oh no!” she shrieked to herself, furrowing her brows as she quickly grabbed the keys to the room (but forgetting to lock it ultimately) as she rushed through the halls and looking through the window of every classroom, every bathroom. Even over the stalls ..! And yet somehow this school was so ridiculously barren that Haru could’ve sworn this was a prank!

And then—

“ !! ”

“— Haru needs you to be her model!” AND YES before you can even agree she’s dragging her new ~model~ to the previous room she was in.

[grumpytree-blog]

While it may have been wiser of him to simply return to his dorm when the day was done, Tsuykusa just so happened to have stayed a little bit longer after the last bell had wrong. Mainly it being that he just so happened to have a meeting that he needed to attend.

Unfortunately, it seemed that he wouldn’t be going there anytime soon. Seeing the young girl running towards him, the kodama didn’t even have a moment to protest before feeling himself being dragged by her.

“What the hell—?!”

And he was a hell of a lot surprised with how much strength this girl had, because he certainly wasn’t going to simply tag along with her. Especially when told that he was going to be ended up as some kind of “model”, and he definitely wasn’t happy that he would have to agree to this with how the flow of events was currently directing.

☂ a melody? [open/intro post]

An afternoon filled with sun and life, that’s what it is. 

A new life with no more violence and bloodshed from every direction, everywhere you turned another life taken in another’s hands so compellingly. No matter how great the urge, Clear wouldn’t dare return to the streets just to relive a “normal” day in the life of this doppelganger; here, he felt even more human than ever! A school, blossoming trees all around and a promise of a true bond instilled in his head, he couldn’t have asked for more, even if the uniforms were a bit much. Somehow, he managed to convince the staff of the school to keep on the gas mask he was so famous for, telling a story of an unknown ailment to his appearance and concealing a face even he was uncertain of.

Well, at least he wasn’t the only one here that stood out. 

No familiar faces as of yet but no reason to complain, for this day deserved a song to sing. But not just any song! The jellyfish song!

As Clear began to carry a tune, he swayed his two gloved index fingers back and forth to flow with the melody, casually wandering the campus doing only that.

[grumpytree-blog]

Nine times out of ten, if one were willing to look for the hot-headed kodama, they could find him amongst one of the many trees that was in the campus. It was the easiest way for him to escape from the humans he still held a deep resent for, and it gave him the peace and quiet he needed whenever he just so happened to skip class.

However, unlike the other days of complete silence, it seemed that he was out of luck when it came down to it. With his gaze lowering to the ground in order to find the source of the tone that he was hearing, Tsuyukusa was somewhat surprised to see someone with a gas mask hiding their face.

Still, with the tune beginning to bother him, it didn't take long until the figure was near to the tree that Tsuyukusa just so happened to be seated in as he parted his lips to ask, "What kind of song is that?"

[grumpytree-blog]

[wwecouldhavvehaditall-blog]

Wow.

Wow.

Just wow this guy was attractive can they crossover ship already?

Eridan didn’t even notice that this guy was probably non-human, to Eridan, all the humans lookd the same, with their skin color—pale pink monkeys, save for a few darker variations, but when it came down to it, all lacked horns, and all would bleed red. One of the lowest colors of the hemospectrum. That was still something notable of mentioning, even if he wasn’t ENTIRELY obsessed with it like Equius was.

After all, if he was obsessed with it, he wouldn’t be going after these very monkeys with the possibilities of at least filling his quadrants. Which, needless to say, were now fairly empty. Still. All of the quadrants where unrequited, no matter how many times he offered the opportunity for others. He didn’t get it. All of them were fuckin’ ridiculous and didn’t realize what they were missing out on.

“Wwhat misfortune are you evven talkin about? I wwas just thinkin… You knoww… since wwe made such deep eye contact… that maybe wwe wwere meant to be…”

Because his face is clearly the best.

[grumpytree-blog]

While Tsuyukusa did normally live a life of solitude away from humans and demons alike -- as much as he possibly could, at least -- there were still a good number of times where he stumbled in situations like this. He was no where near good at handling anything like this, either. With it being showing some kind of connection, which the kodama did everything he could of denying no many how many times he may have befriended others, he was quick to immediately change his once calm features to one of shock.

"What..."

"What the hell did you just say?!"

His eye twitched as he felt those words crawl under his skin. There was no way that his stare down was throwing any signs such as that. In fact, there was probably nothing more than an intimidating glare that he was hoping to have someone run off quickly because of that. However, it seemed that Tsuyukusa was left with the unfortunate luck of having whoever the hell this guy was willing to stay and talk to him.

And with a thought like that --

"Maybe your face was meant to be with my foot, but that's about it."

A Fresh Start [Open/Intro]

[tearsof-anangel-blog]

Misuzu stared shock, and embarrassment on her face. Quickly she proceded to start wiping at her face. She wasn’t even sure she was getting at the dirt at this point but she continued for a good minute, before her hand dropped to her side. Face flushed a light red.

She gripped picked up the stuffed toy, holing it tight to her chest. She stared at the ground for a moment, before she finally let out a giggle. Oh well, it was too late to worry about her dirty face. She’d just wash it really good when she found a bathroom, or her dorm.

Carefully she considered the offer of help. “You know where the dorms are?” That had been her biggest fear, was being unable to find where she was going to be living. After all this school was so big, and this was her first time without her aunt around. “It’d be really nice if you could show me where they are,” she spoke with a wide smile.

Tsuyukusa was able to get a good enough chuckle of watching her fail at attempting to clean her face. It would have been better of her to wait, other that smothering it around. But he wouldn't be the one complaining since he got a nice laugh out of it.

Still, putting that aside, there were more serious things that he needed to tend to before he started laughing again. That being to at least get this girl over to the dorm room in one piece, seeing that she had a hard enough time just doing that.

"Yeah," He nodded, "Jut follow me, all you'll have to do on your own is actually find your room."

Since he is definitely not going into the girl's dorm. Nope. Nope. Nope. Not gonna happen.

“You’re raising your voice, clearly you’re worked up!”

She stated a matter-of-factly, with a smug undertone beneath her voice. Though his voice gave her a bit of a headache, or rather, a ring in his ears if case need be.  She would’ve left it at that, her last word, until he decided to add in another bit of his two cents to the conversation. She grumbled, face a teensy bit flushed as she replied, “I am not hypocritical!” 

With that, Rin kept her pace for a good moment, assuming she’d be done with this chivalry and this jerk, with her rushing to leave him behind, he rushed past her, leaving the Tohsaka’s flames within her rushing to flare. Her club meeting was even more important, much more than his, after all he was just being childish and trying to outrun her.

She was much more mature than that.

“Well you’re rushing pretty quickly, maybe you’ll be late for your club meeting, too?”

—

No just kidding she walked even faster and eventually became a full blown sprint, jumping down various steps in her natural competitive nature. She was shoving shoulders against him, glaring and showing a rather unladylike expression as she finally made it down to the bottom of the stairs— leaving the competition at a tie. So, with that in mind, she set off on her own path to her own club.

Oh. Wow.

She's clearly the adult here.

After his few set of comments, Tsuyukusa decided that arguing with her would only lead to an unneeded headache that he wishing to avoid. In his mind, she was being hypocritical and incredibly loud all while having a face that resembled rather obnoxious demon all at the same time.

To put it simply, her competitive nature was also beginning to let his own competitive spark to be exposed.

Especially with her continuously to bump into him. Oh it was on.

A demon competing against a human in a simple race? Let alone that he was hoping that she would sooner or later have to turn a corner and go off to her own club meeting, that didn't mean that Tsuyukusa was going to be so willing to let her win. And it would be far to easy for him to win against her.

"Oi, quit bumping into me!!"

Her attention was quickly captured by the sight of a green-haired male coming closer and closer toward her, eyes obviously set on her and footsteps growing louder as he came close — his expression scared her a bit, to be honest. He seemed intimidating, yet something made her feel like there was something being held back .. like something was about to suddenly pounce on them and happen.

And expectedly, he called out to her, but the things he said was not something she expected someone to just walk right up to her and say. It was.. kind of rude, yet it felt like something Heine would say to her — hiding the fact that it was for her well-being. Although he wasn’t a huge tsun with her and didn’t hide the fact that she was someone he would gladly protect, he always hid that behind words like that, but she never questioned it since she knows by now that that was the kind of guy he was. Never a softie.

And with just those words, Tsuyukusa had reminded her of Heine, triggering a sort of homesickness that made her chest tighten up a bit. Though she quickly did her best to chase that away — this was her choice. She asked Bishop for this, so she couldn’t back down now because of a little homesickness.

Not knowing how to respond, she could only stand there, eyes avoiding Tsuyukusa and instead glancing everywhere else but his face — it wasn’t that she couldn’t think of how to reply to him. She knew the words she could use but just.. didn’t know how to show that in actions, which was her only method of communication. Timidly, she would raise her head, shakily looking him in the eye — it was rude not to, right?

Maybe it would be a good idea for her to learn hand signs, but then again, nobody would be able to understand her — at least, she had never met anyone that understood sign language — including herself.

Oh, no— due to her not finding a suitable response with only actions, the silence had dragged on too long and her eyes dropped to her feet again, face reddening and hands raising up to cover her mouth out of embarrassment. It was hard being here, a place where socializing was extremely important — and not have a voice to express herself with. It really hit her hard, and actually made her a little sad and regretful. Though there was nothing to regret, since at that young age, there was no fighting the scientists — and they were most likely armed and dangerous too, with extremely high-tech security and everything. It took all she had to get away from that place, so.. maybe if she were born a different person, but even that sort of thing was unappealing to her. Despite not having an important thing that most others did, she liked who she was, and how her life had turned out now. Though this wasn’t the time to be thinking about those kinds of things.

Deciding that even though her response may not be an answer to his question and that it had to be better than nothing, she lifted a finger, reaching out to point at his hand and then laying her hand out flat, palm facing upwards —asking for his hand. Hopefully he would understand. If not, helloooo, more embarrassment.

This wasn’t starting out so well.

Her silence and unwillingness to look at him in the eye only made Tsuyukusa quickly judge her to be something of a shy person. While he didn't mind the silence, the fact that he was beginning to waste more and more of his "valuable" time just standing here and watching some girl fidget around was annoying him.

Did he ever consider his words to be something to cause he to become speechless? Of course not. While his words came out with a harsh tone with an annoyed expression, it turned out to be nothing more than the honest truth. His honest truth, however, did already cause quite a few different arguments due to it. And a part of him sure as hell was glad that she wasn't going to immediately argue with him like a good number of people here have already done.

He had already made it clear in his mind that this girl certainly wasn't exactly normal. The only proof of that, however, was her silence that had slowly began to dig under Tsuyukusa's skin, and the pair of wings that she had on her back.

Despite her differences from the others around them, the kodama was able to quickly disqualify her from possibly being a demon. It wasn't too difficult for him, being that he's been around enough demons throughout his entire life to quickly pick out those that were not of the same being as the humans he has learned to hate.

Watching her hand point towards his and then her own, it didn't take long for him to get a clear understanding for what she was saying. He sucked his teeth, clearly annoyed with having to interact in any physical contact with someone that he's only just met.

"Can't you just write it down on a sheet of paper or something?" He grumbled, but it seemed like arguing in a situation like this would only lead to another dead end on silence. So he simply rose his hand, his palm facing upwards before he once again parted his lips with an order, "Make it quick."

It was.. more lively than she thought it’d be.

With her arrival at the academy, she had, with difficulty, found her dorm on her own and opened it to an empty room, although apparently shared with a few others, as she could see several rooms lined up, one as well as one she found empty.

Assuming that that was her designated room, she would put all her things next to it, leaving things to be unpacked later and leaving the room again to explore — and maybe even meet new people. Although as shy as she was, she was on her own now — with Bishop’s permission, she had been sent to this school to finally receive some education of her own, though Heine was against it at first since he deemed it unsafe for Nill to be on her own. She would have liked if he had come with her, but he was a grown man with a job and .. wasn’t really one for sitting in a classroom being taught things he’d probably deem as ‘pointless crap’.

Wandering out into school grounds, Nill had first been enthusiastic about meeting people and walking about, but seeing how crowded and loud it was, that enthusiasm quickly went down the drain — with how shy she was, it was .. more difficult than she thought it would be to approach anyone, especially when so many seemed intimidating, and although there were nicer-looking people, she had seen too many different types of people that she was extremely cautious.

.. So there you go. A small-built blonde girl with small, angel-like wings just standing next to the dorms looking awkward and lost.

While his arrival to the academy seemed to be more of a punishment than it was an adventure, Tsuyukusa hated being cooped up in his own dorm. Let alone a classroom of all things, where he was surrounded by those he immediately judged just based on their way of speech and actions.

And the pure fact that they were humans.

Despite him being surrounded by them and being in situations to where he had befriended humans, that still didn't heal the deep resent he had for them. It was due to their selfishness that he had lost the single person that he had outwardly displayed any kind of likeness towards. The person that gave him life, raised him, and ended up dying by the hands of nothing more than a human.

With the poor performance of those that he met thus far, it only proved to the kodama that a humans selfishness and fear of those that may be overpowering continued even in times like these -- And it sickened him.

However, it seemed that no matter where he was, the young appearing male couldn't escape from the possibilities of those that are actually willing to befriend him. It being a confusing matter on its own, especially with his attitude towards a good number of people left them rather irritated, Tsuyukusa always had a question in mind as to why humans continued to struggle on making "friends".

It was a bother, none-the-less, but there was obviously no reason to complain with the small bonds that he had already made.

Especially since the appearance of the blond haired girl standing around by herself so awkwardly left him with an unexplained feeling. Was it simply because seeing this girl with a pair of wings on her back was something that wasn't normally seen at this day and age? Or something else that Tsuyukusa hadn't even bothered to think of first?

Whatever it was, it lead him to approach the young girl with the same expression he had shown to everyone else.

"Oi," He called up as he closed the distance between the two of them, "If you keep standing there like that, you're gonna end up attracting the wrong kind of people."

Wow, Tsuyukusa, you should not be mentioning that when you just met someone.
