      Maybe he should have thought this through properly before jumping into action. But he wasn’t the type of person to do that. If it had been something crucial, something serious, something that could impact his life ot the life of other’s in a negative way– then maybe he would have took a minute to think twice. However, the tengu had been so full of excitement he simply couldn’t contain the urge to fly high. To him, it was a pleasant feeling and he wanted to share the experience with Kazumi, though he had been too ignorant to even consider her opinion on this matter. Hell, he didn’t even notice her tense body or the sound of fear in her voice while carrying her. Tarou stood there a little dumbfounded by her reaction– did he seriously expect her to be as excited as him? After all, she was part of the student council, she followed rules and made sure other students did the same. This was just… an exception. Right. 

      For a moment he completely forgot about her status and role. For a moment he viewed her as someone who’d be on the same wave length as him. Someone who was like a friend. But that idea was shattered the moment her next words reached him. I hate you. That’s kinda harsh– he thought, but he didn’t bother to speak up. The rush of happiness from before seemed to have left his body completely. It was almost as if his mood dropped suddenly. He didn’t know what to do now. He didn’t have any plan. He just wanted to sneak out and then do whatever he felt like doing. But right now? It was kinda hard to figure out what he wanted. If it was just him, he would probably fly around and just enjoy the view. But with Kazumi here he couldn’t really do such a thing, he now knew that she didn’t like flying… though, it would have been great if he knew it before scaring her like this. 

      Ah. So that was the feeling inside his chest, he felt guilty. However, regretting his decisions wouldn’t change anything, the damage had already been done. A faint smile formed on his lips as he scratched the back of his head. The Kitsune was mad, he got that now. Did she really have to sound so cold though? He just wanted to have fun with her but instead, he managed to get her to dislike him even more than she already did. A small sigh left him. “If you don’t want to do anything that has to do with me and you don’t wanna be caught hanging out with me, then what else is there for you to do? Stand around and do nothing?” She was here to keep an eye on him, so her only option would be to follow him, even if she didn’t like it. 

      “A bucket list?” He placed a hand to his chin as he thought for a moment. Since this wasn’t the first time he managed to sneak out, he already knew the area, so there was nothing new for him to check out. And honestly, he was more curious about what the oh so serious rep liked to do in her free time. “Not really. I just wanted to be outside. And since you’re here with me now, I think it would be nice to get to know each other. After all, you’re friends with my brother.” His gaze shifted up to the sky as he spoke. It was a nice blue sky with a few clouds here and there. Just looking at it made him feel a little better, thus a sigh left him. “You are scared of heights.” He still didn’t look at her. “I’m scared of losing people I care about. There. Now we both know a little bit more about one another.” A satisfied smile appeared on his face before he met her gaze. “Let’s go for a walk, shall we?”

       As she tried to shake off the very last bits of fright that still lingered on her, the kitsune caught a quick glimpse of the other’s expression. A dumbfounded look — a face’s manner of saying “I am surprised!” or “I am amazed!” without actually uttering it — was prominent on his features. The female stared at him without muttering a single word nor a sound before turning away from him abruptly. Without knowing one thing about Kazumi, one would assume she saw something terrifying behind the man — like a spider that she was absolutely terrified of  — or perhaps she was preparing herself to simply walk off, go back to school and tell the higher-ups about the terrible, terrible thing Tarou has done this very day. However, if one was to spend some time with the female and somehow get her to speak about herself, they would be quick to find out that she was simply embarrassed.

       Embarrassment, as many are aware, refers to the feeling of shame or awkwardness often associated with mild or severe discomfort. As some may be aware, if someone was to point out that you have a piece of toilet paper stuck to your shoe, you would most likely ran away to the nearest bathroom in shame and get rid off the terrible cause of your humiliation. However, as many may not be aware, Kazumi is very much capable of experiencing embarrassment and she was VERY much confronting it right at this moment. Turning away from Tarou meant she could prevent him from looking at her quickly reddening face that continued to hang low, that faced her crossed arms.

       His words didn’t help her state, but made it worse instead. Unknowingly to him, kitsune’s face scrunched up ever so slightly and her cheeks only flushed harder at his utterances. Not only did he get to see the weaker side of her ( which was an achievement on its own, so perhaps for Tarou this wasn’t as devastating as for Kazumi ), but he was right nonetheless in what he tried to get at. If she TRULY did not want to do what she said she didn’t want to do — namely spend time with him or be seen with him after sneaking out of the school — then why was she still there? Was it really to JUST supervise him? Or did she saw this as a perfect opportunity to stretch out her legs, let herself loose just this one time, and simply spend this free time in a nice way? Of course she still stood by her words, she didn’t want to be seen with him, not because she hated him like she has murmured earlier, but rather because it would only bring more embarrassment if someone was to see them.

       She didn’t dare to turn around and look at him, even though it would be the respectable thing to do especially when said person is talking to you. Thus, she remained as she was but attentively listened to the tengu. At the mention of the his brother — a fellow tengu named Jirou, that she seemed to be fond of and often played chess with —  the kitsune straightened herself suddenly as she felt new wave of awkwardness. It was true that she was closer to the other tengu, and nothing was stopping her from getting to know Tarou. She exhaled loudly. By now, she guessed that it wouldn’t hurt to do as he suggested, and thus her lips parted. “I just prefer to stay on ground... but I am scared of spiders” she said with a bit more confidence before meeting his gaze. “ And just like you... I am an older sibling.” she added at last and already started to walk past him slowly. “Well... yes. I could go for a walk right about now. I think it would be a well-spent time” a small smile graced her face before quickly getting hidden.

      Responsibility is a responsibility.

      He wasn’t a fan of responsibilities. But maybe… that was a lie. Tarou took on the responsibility to take care of his brother. Not only that, but to also protect anyone who needed help, the weak, the strong, the bad, the good. He placed his hands behind his head, as he began to daydream, losing himself in his thoughts. Kazumi was right about the whole responsibility thing, he would give her that much. And despite his reckless behavior and rude demeanor towards rules and authority, he couldn’t bring himself to be as heartless as to stomp over her principles. Afterall, he was following his own moral compass, making decisions based on what he felt was right. He couldn’t help but respect her, even if she was trying to restrict his freedom. She was doing it for the greater good and he appreciated that. Plus, she was friends with Jirou, if his brother liked her enough to befriend her, he would do the same. Or well, he could try. 

      Though, so far it seemed that their personalities and views were too different to really see eye to eye. That’s when the Kitsune suddenly walked past him. Wait, wait– hold on! He was too caught up in his thoughts he didn’t even hear what she was saying! Stopping in his tracks, he took a hot minute to process whatever just happened. His subconscious surely heard what she said earlier, he just needed to recall it. Her words slowly came to mind again, like puzzle pieces forming a picture. Alright, now everything made more sense. For some reason, it made his heart flutter. It was a weird sensation that almost forced his lips to turn into a bright smile. Was this excitement? He felt like a little kid who’d break rules together with a close friend. He’d better start moving again before the other would notice him standing around like a fool. 

      Arms fell to his side. One foot foward, then another.. and another. His pace increased with each step he took until the sound of his boots hitting the floor echoed through the hallway. He was running towards the female and he wasn’t planning on stopping. Tarou didn’t want to race her, thus he didn’t pass her. Instead, his body began to float. Keeping the speed up, the tengu then lifted Kazumi by the armpits and carried her along. “LEEEET’S GOOO!!” His wings moved up and down, creating a strong blow of wind, as they left the hallway through the entrance. Tarou soared through the sky, inhaling the fresh air with a deep sigh before he found a nice place for them to land. “If only the school had classes outside instead of putting us in a stuffy building.” The words left him as soon as they were back on the ground. 

      He then stretched his arms together with his wings and turned to look at Kazumi. “I guess no one saw us, or rather I hope so. Haha!” He probably shouldn’t laugh at something as serious as this. What if he got kicked out or what if Kazumi would lose her position in the student council? Those things never even crossed his mind. If anything, he tried to keep a positive outlook even if it seemed reckless and stupid. “Anyway. Say, Kitsu-mi. What’s something you’ve always wanted to do, but were too scared because of your position?”

      While her arms were still crossed, and her posture as straight and stiff as humanly possible  — or in the case of the two blondes, as monster-ly as possible  — her head turned only slightly as if she was afraid of being spotted by the tengu’s keen sight. Stealing a quick glimpse of the other, she was met with an immense smile as if she had just told him the great news of his favorite great-grandmother coming over with a huge chocolate cake for her beloved Tarou. However, there was no mention of chocolate cake, nor his favorite great-grandmother or the all day-long cheek squishing that came from kitsune’s lips. Thus, the look of surprise and confusion soon appeared on her features, while she wondered why the whole situation would get him into such giddy mood. To think that despite the accumulated years on his shoulders, the grand tengu would still react so childishly to such an unappealing for most opportunity.

       Surely, “expected-the-unexpected”  — a phrase which here means, to not be surprised by an unusual event  — is mighty familiar to most creatures and monsters alike. Although this expression does insinuate that anything could happen, and it probably will, Kazumi certainly haven’t assumed that Tarou will run, get a hold onto her and simply fly away towards his desired destination. Thus, she did not expect the unexpected at all, even though she has already spent the few minutes with the male and knew of his crazy antics. The fox’s orbs widened in pure shock, the joyful call ringed in her ears and she felt the slight air brushing against her while being carried along on what she believed would be one of her most unforgettable moments in her life, and not for the right reasons at all.

      Although the kitsune was still stunned and her bodily muscles stiffened significantly, she forced her eyes closed almost as if believing this to be a bad dream that she desperately wanted to wake up from. Of course this couldn’t be a bad dream as the female would never allow herself to sleep on her responsibilities, therefore making this simply an unpleasing experience rather than a very realistic nightmare. “Put me down! My kind wasn’t made for flying!” she called out with difficulty through her clenched jaw, as her eyes seemed to close in on themselves even tighter. Even though Kazumi was known to be a fearsome individual that wasn’t easily scared, it was clear that the surprise tactic that Tarou seemed to have used unintentionally ( here meaning, “Tarou’s did not plan on scaring Kazumi to death, but did so anyway without much of realization because of his childlike excitement” ) had a clear effect on her. 

         Even though the flight was short, it still felt too long for the kitsune’s comfort, thus when her trembling legs finally felt something stable under them, she released a loud sigh of relief, internally celebrating the safe landing. Putting her hands on her knees and taking one last final deep breath, she managed to compose herself just in time before the other turned to look at her miserable state. The glare was prominent on her pale face as he spoke in his cheerful tone, and it did not make her feel any better nor as excited as he was. In fact, it only made her regret the decision she made much earlier. “I hate you” she murmured at last, while straightening her posture. Hate was a strong word, and so were Kazumi’s feelings towards the whole encounter with Tarou, especially after the whole fiasco. She was aware that this was most likely only the beginning of something worse, but she didn’t bothered herself with such thoughts for now. 

        “At this point I don’t want to do anything that has to do with you, especially not something I want.” she answered in her usual tone. “Nor do I want to be caught hanging out with you, so let’s get this over with. It was your idea, so I thought you had some sort of plan or I don’t know... a bucket list of things you wanted to do while sneaking out of class?”

@amaritudc​ || starter call

      Obvious frown was present on her pale features indicating that most likely there was something wrong, or that she was about to explode due to the obvious accumulation of rage. Tapping of her foot seemed incredibly loud as the room she was residing in was enveloped in silence. Even the smallest things appeared to be ticking her off. The sound the clock was making, the shuffling of papers, the breathing of others — and finally the sound that put her at edge.

      Maybe he was one of the least annoying people she met. But that’s a maybe. She cannot simply exclude all other things that were so ever frustrating about him. However the sound that ticked her off this time was so silly if she was in right mindset she would most likely be embarrassed by now. Sipping of his tea. She slammed her hands against her desk and stood up abruptly. 

      “CAN YOU DRINK THIS CUP OF SHIT QUIETER?!” there she goes.

PRIMARY: THE EMPEROR

“Only courage in the face of doubt can lead one to the answer..." Emperor symbolizes the desire to control one's surroundings, and its appearance could suggest that one is trying too hard to achieve this, possibly causing trouble for others; some elements in life are just not controllable. Often times, you are troubled by something very personal, and doesn't know how to deal with it.

SECONDARY: THE MOON

“What we see is who we are and what we believe in is how we are raised. It is an illusion to put your shoes on another's foot."

The Moon Arcana is associated with creativity, inspiration, dreams, madness, illusions, fear, fantasy, the subconscious and trickery. You are sometimes being attuned subconsciously to the world around, gaining the ability to sense things without being told about them or without anyone else knowing. You are often psychically-attuned, and your projection of your own fears and faults onto others is becoming a habit. You often tend to have trouble accepting yourself for who you are and, because of that fear, you try to correspond to an ideal person.

TERTIARY: THE TOWER

“The higher you fly the greater you fall."

The Tower Arcana is commonly associated to overly arrogant, prejudiced and authoritarian organization, which walk to their own ironic demise. Furthermore, it is also more generically used as an omen of doom and disaster. You can be arrogant, and typically find yourself in bad situations.
