she isn't one for mirth or pride, that were true. such things held little interest to her--something foreign, something she didn't know how to hold.

but perhaps this is the closest nakime allows herself: to push and pull upper three throughout the fortress as if she were showing off the sheer scale, until with a twang he's unceremoniously deposited before her through a door suddenly flipped horizontal.

nakime doesn't yet speak, evidently expecting some reaction.

Tell me, what does it feel like to be loved gently? (from compassneedle uwu)

𝐂𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐀𝐋𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐑𝐔𝐈𝐍 🌕 @compassneedle

to be loved so clearly, so resolutely still feels so new and strange--there were times kokushibō couldn't tell if she wished to cling tighter or if the adoration ached. gentleness still burned, too unaccustomed to it all.

but the result never actually changed: however greedy it made her, she clung to both dōma and akaza, and hoped her grip didn't bruise them.

akaza's question still gives her pause, for whilst kokushibō has not taken their love for granted there remains an irrational fear--that if she doesn't tread lightly, if she doesn't give extra care, it all may be taken away.

an urge to protect them, to keep them.

"...gentleness is still so strange to me," she begins to admit softly, "but it feels as if i've been drowning and finally reached a breath of air."

forcing air into the lungs of a corpse to give her life.

@compassneedle 🌕

as he growls and barks, kokushibō wonders: did he know? did he know her influence upon dōma guaranteed his demotion rather than his death? a selfishness of her own, for even as dōma vied for her attentions, tried to draw her focus away from akaza--she never lost sight of him.

and so he still stands before her, snarling and vicious. perhaps she deserved it, too. it were well enough, for kokushibō knows she would never bring herself to let go of akaza either, in the end.

and so she buries the twinge that tugs her heartstrings, that flutter in her very soul that threatens to waver: buried beneath a customarily impassive expression as instead:

"i hope you do."

she isn't alive. would it be so bad to end this charade?

@compassneedle 🌕 closed starter!

perhaps it were a failing of hers, some leftover dredge of michikatsu: a terrible habit of not considering herself and her own safety as she should. what did it matter of her safety if she were already dead? it were all a bit redundant.

but akaza isn't dead. but akaza is someone worthy of protection, of the devotion she has grown comfortable showing him in their time together.

and so when the sun's rays draw near him as clouds move away and sun climbs in the sky, filtering through dilapidated awnings of abandoned shrine, kokushibō acts without thought: her skin burns as she closes the distance to pull him to safety, sickening sizzle as smoke rises, and yet--

safely in the shadows once more, purple skin healing, the sun's light has given her away: firework patterns have appeared upon her skin in each place the light has touched her, preserved even as flesh heals.

kokushibō pays her fireworks little mind, however: she's too busy looking over akaza, as if she hadn't properly registered that she were the only one scorched.

@compassneedle 🌕

to his credit, koyuki does nod a small agreement--michikatsu wasn't a talkative type of person. "she approached me first...i think i made her worry." but michikatsu still checked on her and ensured she were okay, and though koyuki initially found her quite intimidating it were only a matter of time before realizing michikatsu reminded her greatly of a cat.

though koyuki notes his worry and is quick to place a small hand upon hakuji's arm in a comforting gesture, she hesitates somewhat upon his question--a small stumble over her words before they properly form. "i only know a little bit, michikatsu-san has never gone into detail and i didn't want to push her." is it really her place to say too much, though? what would michikatsu prefer? ah-- "i think you should ask her, hakuji-san. i think she'd prefer that."

but there's far less hesitation in her next response: "i think so! i thought she was a bit scary at first, but...she always makes sure i'm okay."

@uppertwo / @compassneedle / i couldn't decide uwu

SOMETIME'S IT IS DIFFICULT TO TELL if she does it on purpose, or if it's merely an instinctual draw--like vines that climb upon the walls of the temple, as night black hair is inching its way to wind around a forearm from where she sits.

even with wild hair in its customary pony tail, there's more than enough length to pull him in if he doesn't untangle himself.

“ shit, i think i pulled my stitches. ” (from compassneedle for modern verse uwu)

BLOOD RELATED PROMPTS 🌕 @compassneedle

"you what?" she heard him just fine, but somehow michikatsu had the shred of useless hope that she had misheard him. it's an unfounded hope, but that only adds into the way michikatsu has so quickly left her desk behind to step around and draw close to hakuji in an inspection of said stitches. she tries to not appear fretful, but...

it would be a lie to say she didn't feel concern for him.

"did you get into another fight? at least give enough time to heal first," maybe he can tell her scolding is just borne of that worry. "who was it?"

please don't look at me like that. (from compassneedle!)

"like what?"

ever cheeky when it came to akaza, tilting her head minutely as a chin rests upon the heel of a palm. perhaps it were a habit she picked up from him, back in those early days centuries ago--when he vied for her attention, to wake her up enough to remember she lives.

perhaps it were merely to gain reaction, to test him.

still, it only lasts so long before a soft sigh leaves the demoness instead, pretended mirth dissolving like snow before the sun. gaze drifts away, looking towards nothing in particular before center eyes slide closed, subtle tilt of her head forward as that hand falls to her lap. whatever thoughts were in her mind quietly put aside, a puppet losing its strings--beneath it all, she and ningyō were not so different.

"...don't allow it to irk you, darling. perhaps it is time to hunt, hmm? that should prove suitable distraction."
