Usually Queen BASKED in blood, the smell, the sight of it, loved the r i c h-silk hue & was c o m f o r t e d by the slick warmth, but not when it was from someone she cared about. No, this wouldn’t do. No, no, no!!
She stamps her foot PURELY in anger at the battered sight of him, the kind of RAGE that curled your toes s o u r and dilated your eyes sharp. Princess hisses loudly from her perch on the female’s chalk-pale neck in her own protest, but they both eventually quiet down, moments later. A bad sign.
“I’m sorry.” Queen mumbles quietly and goes to hug him, CURLING around him with pure platonic need, despite the BRIGHT GLOW of her narrowed eyes. “I’ll get them back later, let’s go find a room to rest in.”
A relieved sigh was pressed out of Shiseiji’s lungs as Queen took him into her embrace. Orange eyes struggled to stay open as he took shallow breaths. He sat still for a moment, both enjoying the hug and taking a moment to rest.
“Thanks, Queenie,” He chuckled, wiping some blood from his lower lip. “layin’ down’s soundin’ real good right about now.”
