HATESHADE. ( accursed oni )
βΒ oh βΒ β
the kunai pierces her false flesh, and she does not feel it; but she lets akali go all the same, mischief glimmering in her eyes and a smile on her lips. evelynn draws back incorporeal, a mist, swirling in on herself until sheβs standing roughly a meter away, hands in the air β a mock surrender.
she doesnβt want toΒ breakΒ her, after all β thatβd be a terrible waste.
βΒ iβm sorry. i know that youβreβ¦Β fragile.Β β
the apology is false, dripping with entirely too much sweetness to be genuine, and she knows it β plays up the faux-innocence to the point where itβs maddeningly obvious, just to drag out some little shred of annoyance to dig her claws into β sheΒ hatesΒ it when akali is composed. control is evelynnβs antithesis, and it isΒ oh so very dullΒ β with her around, though, that wonβt be a problem.
βΒ donβtΒ pout,Β it doesnβt suit your pretty face.Β βΒ azure talons wind around a lock of her own hair as evelynn leans her weight back onto one leg, watching intently.
βΒ β besides, it was only a bit ofΒ fun.Β β
Collapsing to the snow-covered ground, her inhales of air are greedy & desperate as she recovers - scowling at the demon & her own carelessness. Weak. Fragile. Playthings.Β Thatβs all the cultists are to these demons. And that is exactly why she runs, why she isolates herself. The gold gilded edges of the sword known as fame has plunged again, again & yet again into her back - why must she bear a burden she never asked for?Β
β No - youβre not, β she bites back.
And yet, she did not need to think of such things with her.Β At this point, sheβd ratherΒ the permanent chase and the bite of their bark than the packs of mongrels snapping and clawing at her heels wherever she walks. With Evelynn... All she had to worry about was her life. How ironic.Β
β Find your fun elsewhere, Iβve got business to attend to. β & This is true - she was en route to her marks before the demon reared its head. Turning from the demon, she walks away without another word - having no doubt that sheβll be followed.
