"We're roommates! My Melo is so happy! She hasn't had roommates in so long!! Yayayay!" She is jumping up and down. Very excited.

This small white creature speaking to him enthusiastically.. was she not afraid? Most wildlife who crossed the Mara's path would always flee in the opposite direction but she regarded him with warmth and hospitality. How odd. How very strange. Asura scoops her up and stares at her, red eyes glowing in their intensive scrutiny.

"Heh. You're very brave for something small and weak, weighing nothing in my hands. I like it." Puts her back down and.. starts prodding at her ears. "My Melo was it? What are you. I've never seen your kind before."

          AND SHE SIMPLY WATCHES, A blink at the unknown sauce to her being dumped on the food, let alone the mention of not being hot enough as he states.

          ❝ I see. So that sauce is meant to heighten the heat if you choose to add it? I was under the impression you would need to contact the chef for it. ❞ maybe she might not be following entirely correct, though she still seems in a gentle awe all the same.

He was told wasabi is a delightful way to spice up any dish. What a lie that was! Asura is utterly unimpressed, red eyes narrow and black brows furrow together in a look of pure annoyance. 

“That sauce is a vessel full of empty promises. No chef can create what I desire. I’ll fix it myself!” From his sleeve Asura retrieves several peppers which he then crushes and drops the pieces into the bowl below. Sampling the dish again seems to have appeased him. There must’ve been enough kick in that bite. “Better. Here, you try.”

[returnofmara]

Dumps an entire bottle of wasabi sauce all over some spicy ramen.

“Not nearly hot enough.”

“goodbye… my asura.”

////AAAAAAAAAAAAA THEY ARE SO IN LOVE IT HURTS. IT HURTS SO BAD

Emerging from a row of thickets bordering a line of trees, carcass of a recently slain deer draped over broad shoulders, Asura balked at the presence that met him on the other side of the shrubbery, unexpected to say the least. Eyes briefly caught theirs, and for a moment he cares little for the other, but..

But centuries long spent dwelling in the depths of hell, fighting and feeding off of those Demon Gods have left him feeling tremendously bloodthirsty. Ravenous for more. These violent urges don’t just fade overnight, and the opposition looks to be sturdy enough to withstand an onslaught. Why shouldn’t they fight?

Asura drops the carcass as several dark arms appear behind him, they smash into the ground at the feet of his opponent, purposely avoiding them. 

Purposely provoking them

“Watch your step.”

How odd. How absolutely strange. That his feet would land on this unknown place that was neither illusion nor Celestial nor Abyssal and yet it was very much here. Present. With land underfoot and people appearing, sprawling out in front of him.

Grand buildings emanating light and odd carriages appearing to aid those who seemed to need to leave the platform. Always one to acclimate if he needed to, he did find himself climbing into one of those carriages, catching an impossible glimpse but not quite seeing.

And so he let it simply be a glimpse until he caught his bearings. The carriage dropped him off in a place that, through moments look at the rest of this place, he felt somewhat well-suited for.

A hand was on the door when he caught that glimpse again.

Green eyes looked to the abode next door.

And it was much more than a glimpse.

“…Asura.” His name left Taishakuten’s lips before he could stop it. Shock briefly flashing across his features, he settled into his controlled calm. That controlled calm, for the moment, was stretched thin. He had not anticipated this meeting like this, there was no plan, no…Anything else.

“While I have awaited our reunion, for there is nothing so sweet on our plane or any other, this was not the reunion I anticipated.” There is little warmth to his words, and while he has turned his body fully to face the other, he does not approach.

[returnofmara]

How strange. How incredibly odd. Was he not confined to the Abyss? His shackles freed, bound no more. The prison in which he resided in no longer holds him captive. Funny, Asura didn’t even have to traverse the eighteen levels of hell to claw his way to the surface. The work was done for him! But by who? Why? Those bastards, whoever the stars are robbed him of a glorious and satisfying battle! How dare they. Asura will skewer them through the heart and release their head from their wretched bodies.

After all he’s free to do as he pleases.. oh yes.. free to make good on his promise and burn Taishakuten’s sins into ashes! 

But...

But he’s no longer in the Abyss. Zenken is no where to be seen. Where is that Celestial King? Have the stars plucked Taishakuten away from his fated reunion? No one but the Mara is worthy enough to lay a hand on him!

Hand squeezing the handle in a hostile grip, he laments to see the door intact. Very odd indeed.. were he at full strength the flimsy material would buckle under the pressure and crumble to pieces. Which begs the question.. what else has been taken from him? 

These thoughts are interrupted by a soothing voice he hadn’t heard in centuries.

“Taishakuten... you’ve finally returned to me.” Knuckles crack one by one, stepping off the threshold to these new accommodations Asura prowls over, returning to Taishakuten’s side as though they never split from the start! Asura lifts his hand, fingers roaming up the pale chest, feeling soft skin beneath his fingertips and brushing over a delicate collarbone. He stops abruptly, fingers rest thoughtfully at a thin neck, the steady thrum of a heartbeat underneath his palm is rousing. 

“My Taishakuten..”These ministrations are intimate and loving enough, but Asura is anything but loving. His desire for love was ripped away from him the moment that blade was plunged into his gut. Grip tightens, squeezing the delicate neck. He could break it if he wanted to, but he won’t. “How I’ve missed you.”

[returnofmara]

Flimsy wooden slats easily snapped and splintered upon impact of a robustly built male being launched through one of the local tavern’s doors. Promptly following in tow, was Asura, knuckles strewn in mottled blues and purples as a result of repetitively pummeling bare fists against the dense cartilage of another person’s face. The scene is unrefined and brutish, his ideal style of combat.

Looming over the barely conscious body, both hands slipped under the man’s arms, hiking him upright and propping him against a nearby wall. Blissfully unaware the attention he’d gathered, Asura is tempted to throw another punch just because he feels like it until he turned back around, offering zero explanation for the violence.

“What’re you drinking?”
