Remilia really needed to find a better way to occupy herself while waiting for Sakuya, of whom she was certain would show herself in the city sooner or later. That was what she told herself to bide the time, a simple repeated self-denial of any other possibility that kept her from drifting into more curmudgeonly or otherwise negative moods. She didnāt enjoy any sort of sadness that she hadnāt self-induced of her own volition and therefore couldnāt immediately reverse when it suited her whim, or else there was no point and no fun to be found in being sad.
Now, however, she was still thinking about her precious head maid and finding an involuntary mood of sorts creeping into her mind; no matter how she willed it, the gloom of repeatedly thinking about something she could not simply fix through force of will or her own desire had made her feel something between irritation and slight depression, and that in itself made her more irritable overall. The sound of footsteps intruding on her silence up here on one of the rooftops of one of the lower buildings (still high enough, given that she could see a fair distance in all directions, even in the twilight) in Hive City escalated that irritation into anger.
<<Can you not find another rooftop? Iāve decided this one is mine, and you canāt have it.>> Remilia realizes sheās stamping her foot as she turns and stops, then eyes the stranger carefully, mindful that sheās behaving rather improperly in front of someone else.
<<I suppose you can be up here, as well,>> she manages, in what she hopes sounds magnanimous of her, <<if you behave and are quiet. And stay out of my way.>>
