🫵 old man
"You kind of have a little… blood… on your face. …Don't worry, I'll get it for you."
"Occupational hazard. I'd say 'you should see the other guy', but I'm gonna be painfully honest, it's better if y'don't." She truly could burn the thin crimson sheen from her face with a flick of her thumb, but she decided to acquiesce and let Cora handle it. The whole portent of death thing meant she wasn't unused to killing, let alone bloodshed. It just so happened that for a long time prior to this awakening, it was largely her blood being spilled.
Needless to say, lovely change of pace! Less so when your friend is clearly perturbed by it. Hikari laughs it off and blinks warmly. "I'll try an' be careful in the future so y'don't hafta do any--wait, don't you got that fancy blood magic? Can y'... magic it off m'face t'store fer later? Like pocket sand?"
[ DARLING ]: sender touches receiver's cheek. (for g'raha!)
Her touch was soft as silk, brushing against his cheek while her eyes watched him with an intensity that almost made him wince. Her voice was quiet, laced with concern, as she whispered, asking him what was wrong.
What, indeed? Half of him wanted to lean into her touch like some feral, touch-starved kitten. He never wanted her to stop touching him, wanted to feel the warmth of her fingers against his cheek forever. Perhaps he was just a touch-starved kitten.
The other half wanted to pull away, the warmth of her fingers transferring into an unbearable heat against his skin. He did not deserve her affection or her love. He wanted to pull away, escape before she realized too that he was not worthy of a person like her.
And instead, he chose inaction, freezing like a rabbit in the face of a wolf.
"Ah -- nothing, nothing is wrong, my dear," he told her, forcing a smile onto his face. He reached up to put his hand over hers, lacing their fingers together and bringing her hand down. "Please, do not worry yourself."

“I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a lovely time.”

" ... Oh, honey. That was the warm-up. "
There's a touch of sympathy to his voice, but the effect is ruined by the accompanying razor-sharp grin.
Crumpled on the ground, Cora fits neatly within the shadow of his body bent at the waist. Zoen tallies. No ( obvious ) broken bones. Mild contusions. A couple lacerations still leaking, but sluggishly. Barely any scuffs at all, really.
" I've got notes, but I'm curious -- where do you think you went wrong? "
She steps back slightly, to give Cora a little breathing room, a little more space to think -- and rethink -- and think again about this harebrained whim of hers.

uno reverse card. rara kid 😼
name: saki shirogane - wolndara
gender: cis female
general appearance: saki inherited both the wings of her mama and the cat features of her other mama ... so basically, a baby tressym! she inherited more of cora's features, but has the same dark hair as kira and a lot of similar expressions. that damn smirk? that's from kira. but when she smiles, she looks so much like cora. she stayed very small like cora for most of her life, until she grew older and suddenly saki was taller than her, but never grew past 5'2", so kira is still the tallest person in their household.
personality: ambitious to a fault at times, but never compromising her morals to achieve what she wants. a brighter future is what she strives for, with people coming first always before her own goals for herself. if she had to choose between power and saving a life, she would choose the life. that being said, she loves to have fun. she's very playful with her magic because she grew up in a household that loves magic, and so she was given the freedom to cast and play with it as she pleased ever since she was a child. similar to cora in which she's an only child, which means in her mind she's the most special girl in the world to her parents (she is).
special talents: literally a magic baby who inherited the insane magic of both her parents, what kira lacked in her own magic (unable to perform white magic) was remedied by cora's influence, so saki is literally limitless. she is also a wonderful writer, because she just has so many thoughts, she needs to know every word to be able to express them properly, and so she writes them down.
who they like better: while she loves both her parents equally, i think she changes who she likes better in the moment. sometimes she's running to cora after kira tried to take the kid out for flying lessons to tell on her, while sometimes saki runs to kira if she thinks there's a higher chance for cora to not let her do something (like have more sweets).
who they take after more: she really is a balance of both of them, like if kira and cora had a child KLJASHDF but the way she sees life and her perspective is very influenced by cora, i'd say.
personal head canon: saki is very particular about her personal appearance, because she has to always check on her tail, her earls, AND her wings even if they are a smaller wingspan than her mother's. it's a lot of cora and kira helping her preen her wings and brushing her hair before bed together.
if they had a kid! @bludlily
she was not certain what brought the two of them to this here point, with cora upright in g'raha's lap, pinned between her legs, and her mouth at his neck, nipping at the flesh there, the conversation leading up to... this all but forgotten by the pair. only that it most certainly did, and far be it from her to complain about it. she was exactly where she wanted to be, after all, with one hand holding onto his shoulder, while the other had cupped the side of his face, angling it for better access to his neck.
"...and furthermore...um..."
G'raha had merely been speaking of an academic 'discovery' by one of the Students of Baldesion that hadn't made any sense to him. He was not prone to rants or to anger, but annoyance had won out this time. He was in the midst of a gesture when Cora climbed on his lap, silencing him entirely, whether or not that had been her intention. And now, with her sharp teeth at his neck, he could not remember what had had him so riled up only a moment ago.
His tail swished back and forth in eagerness, and his ears perked up as he moved his hands to her hips and tilted his head to the side to give her a better angle. He was unsure of what had sparked this reaction, but that could be speculation for another time. His breath was caught in his throat, and his eyes were fluttered closed.
Yes. He would think about these things later.

“ I love you, but if you snore like that again, I’m filing a complaint. ” for g'raha LMAO
"With whom, exactly? My nose?" G'raha asked, giving Cora and embarrassed smile.
Their first night together had not gone expressly as planned. While their time had been quite enjoyable, there had been some, erm, difficulties. Cora had laughed at him when he had kept his socks on (his feet got cold!), the dinner he had tried to cook beforehand had been mostly inedible (meaning the mess of his kitchen was for naught), and the moments after intimacy had been somewhat awkward (he had gone for suave and had come out with borderline weird).
And then, he had fallen asleep on his back, which had apparently seen him snoring like a Turali ceruleam engine.
But Cora was a ray of sunshine, golden in the early morning light. Her hair was a tangled mess falling around her pale face and her eyes were round as the moon in the sky. G'raha could not help but smile at the way her fangs poked out of her mouth when she spoke. He was completely enamored by her.
He could stand some difficulties, if it meant she stayed by his side.
