  ＸＩＩＩ--; 

He yelps, but ceases to react further. "H-Hey!!"

❝My Redpup. My sunset hound.❞ ♥

"My little flower. My beacon of hope.                                         My friend.” 

[limitedmoon]

Maybe it's kind of a stupid headcanon, but I think that--as Nanaki ventures to his father's--well, grave--his spirituality is heightened--as is the presence of the Lifestream.

Which makes me like to think that he can also speak with Aerith, and does so on a semi-regular basis--without telling Cloud or the others. 

It isn't because he doesn't necessarily want to.

   He just enjoys her gentle guidance and the small-talk and cherishes    that connection on a much more personal level.

But yeh--the Cave of Gi is a pain in the rump, and I can't imagine that he'd face it more than once or twice every few months--or frequently in times of mental strife and yaddayadda.

I'm developing this headcanon more, but aksjhf this is the gist of it. I thought to put it under a read-more because it's not as polished as I want it to be.

Ah—

—Favored company was a different matter.

Intrepid was the marginal bliss to push aside the dull exterior, dainty simper grown from the sight of carmine coat. Alleviation to exhaustion was the gift from a friend and he could only bequeath a nod of flaxen halo to the other; door closed in the meanwhile.

“Guess I’ve got no choice.”

Light banter in the midst of private silence, leather soles moved across floorboards. And a gloved palm would be directed unto scarlet crown, giving a light pat to an old friend.

“How’ve you been, Nanaki?”

[limitedmoon]

Such had been a gesture he would accept only from those whom he held dear. A simple touch it was, yet it had been all he needed to discern the status of his friend. Relieved, relaxed, safe--it was a rare instance to see the swordsman in such a blatantly-pleasant mood. Nanaki could only chuckle in response to it.

"I have been well," truly he had been, although he missed his comrades dearly, "but it's been a little slow back home."

He exercised a shrug; ember-lit tail flicking from side to side as he did. "The time has almost come for me to revisit the Cave of Gi--to see my father again," he blurted suddenly--perhaps a bit hopefully.

"If your delivery service can stand the delay--or if you're--you know, bored, you should consider accompanying me."

 "Really? I thought I looked rather cool."

Yoshi.

 ”—…It’s pronounced: Nanaki.”

   /screams bc how did 300 followers happen i haven't even been here???

I will get to work on a giveaway--or maybe something else to reward you guys for your bad decision making. Once I get home from work, that is! :)

“We’re closed. Try tomorrow.”

—Apathy exposed inner a exhausted tone for all to see, though emphasis had been garnished to the affirmation of the establishment’s status.

And he was far too tired to care if they happened to take offense.

[limitedmoon]

"Can't you make an exception for an old friend?"

Had he been anything less than proud, the experiment would have pawed at the door--he even considered it for the sake of humor; however, he merely proceeded to saunter past the "gatekeeper", firmly planting his rump on the ground--defiantly, of course.

"Yes. Yes, you can."

  "I wonder which dishes she'll throw this time.       I mean--where must you go now?"

[limitedmoon]

  I'm in dire need of a non-conversation/banter-y thread.

ooc: I feel as if I have been here for a long time, and maybe it has been, but a lot has happened over these years not only with my chosen muse, but also with myself and those around me. When I was going through my follow list and writing up the names which will be included in this follow forever, I noticed how long some of you have been following me and how long you have known/interacted with me. It’s a very long time. Maybe I’m surprised that a lot of you have been with me so long or that you have remained here. I feel flattered that you have stuck around long enough to watch my muse grow and that you are happy with my portrayal. I never would have thought that the number of you would reach so high — some of you new, most of you old — and I guess I’m still trying to process just how many of you there are. Of course, it would be impossible for me to interact with every single one of you and I wish I could. But sometimes I just like watching from afar and keeping up with how your own plot-lines are going. When I am unable to write, I sit down and read the dash and all that. I like seeing the variety in writing styles, the different interpretations of a character, and most of all how much fun people have with what they do. I have had my ups and downs in the community, but I remain because I am still having fun despite the stresses of real life. 

The list below consists of people I have known from the beginning, of those I interact with often, and of those who inspire me even if I do not interact them. Some of them are just a joy to see on the dash, and some are just so considerate that their words make me feel better. I only hope I haven’t missed anyone out, and I was too lazy to sort if all into alphabetical order because I’m super cray cray lazy e_e Also apologies if there are any spelling mistakes welp.

"Whoop his ass Sea Bass!"

ooc: So... I was at MegaCon this weekend--dressed as Yuffie, and figured I'd share some of the pictures! Sorry, these are like, the worst ones and block out like 90% of the actual cosplay, but I'll upload another, better, picture later if you guys are interested. u_u

  "... I still don't know how to use this thing."

[shishijiin-archive-deactivated2]

   And just as quickly as his gaze had left the sky, had it returned. There was truth in that, for the stars never appeared alone for too long. Still, something in his chest… felt wrong when he looked at the heavens above. “I guess that’s true. Especially when we group them into constellations. Maybe it’s just me, then." He confessed with a light chuckle and a hand moving to tuck some of the sandy tresses behind his ear.

[limitedmoon]

  "Perhaps," he agreed softly, shrugging his broad shoulders as he cast a glance o'er at the boy. "What burdens your mind, hm?" Despite the semblance to another stoic blonde he knew, Nanaki couldn't help but inquire. The night was young, and the stars: attentive. He could almost feel the spirits settling 'round them both, waiting to hear a tale from either party, and his tailed flicked from left to right--the fall flame crackling with the motion. "Granted, you do not have to share your thoughts should you feel like keeping them to yourself. Then again, if you did that, you'd be quite the selfish conversationalist," he added with a throaty chuckle.

[missingxscore-deactivated201406]

"—Yeah, it’s real. Got a problem with that?!"

He seemed to be alluding to his left arm.

[limitedmoon]

   "Barret, that's enough. You're scaring them."

Although the potential for a rather one-sided brawl would have proved to be highly amusing.
