❤️- A happy memory that makes them smile
With a happy squeal, Kinagosa ran to the Draenei woman to embrace her in a warm hug. With a quiet giggle, the Draenei woman easily picked up the whelpling, twirling her around a few times before nodding a quick greeting to Jasculs as well, who followed more slowly behind.
“Kina, it’s been awhile! How are you?” Azumane asked, setting the child down.
“Good! And you?” Kina replied.
“Been good too. And what about you?” She asked, turning to the Demon Hunter. “You staying out of the maws of animals?” She joked.
With a shrug, Jasculs just smiled. “To the best of my ability.. Which, apparently, isn’t much.”
Azumane laughed. “Fair enough. Creatures never did exactly have a taste for fel, so at least you know they wont gobble you up too much.. Ryuunosuke, though.. He’s seemed to oddly take an interest in you. So it’s not all bad, I suppose?”
Now it was Jasculs turn to laugh. “That core hound definitely doesn’t know his own strength…Or weight. But, true, at least there’s some animal out there that doesn’t want to maul my entire face off.”
“Oh! Speaking of! Kina! I got something that may be relevant to your interests.” Azumane said, turning her attention back to the whelpling that still clung to her legs.
Kinagosa’s eyes lit up and she bounced excitedly as Azumane took her smaller hand in her own, leading her outside. They had barely stepped onto the lawn before Kina let out another squeal, beaming up at Azumane. In the yard had stood a great Ox. It’s fur was purple, the mane tanned, and runes looked as if they were carved into its sets of horns.
“You got another!” Kina beamed.
“I did! This one’s been following me since the hillsides in Stormheim. He’s definitely as stubborn as an ox, as they say too. A giant baby, is what he is. Likes to headbutt everything, so be careful Jasculs.” Azumane explained.
At the mention of being prone to headbutting, Jasculs promptly stood behind the woman. “He won’t headbutt you though, right?”
“……” She stayed silent.
“Azumane.” Jasculs almost begged.
“Honestly? Depends on his mood. But I’ve handled worse.” She just shrugged.
“Thats…Not reassuring.” He replied, hunkering down farther in hopes the Ox didn’t see him. Damn him and his affinity for pissing off every animal in existence.
“Wasn’t supposed to be.” She said simply.
“What’s it’s name?” Kina interrupted, pulling on Azumane’s arm to get her attention.
Rustling the kid’s hair, Azumane answered. “I really couldn’t decide on a name for the longest time. Nothing just seemed to fit, yknow. But eventually I decided on Kyoutani and it seems to fit pretty decently. At the very least, he seems to respond to that more than anything else, so that’s partially a reason too.”
Kina giggled. “It’s a nice name.”
