❝  oh  no…  now  that’s  not  right.  ❞  iris  set  down  the  brush  and  paints  and  huffed  a  small  sigh.  ❝  you’re  smiling  much  too  wide  now—here  let  me  show  you.  ❞  iris  takes  a  few  steps  back  and  gives  her  own  smile,  having  been  raised  in  the  proper  way  of  what  is  expected  of  a  smile,  her  smile  looks  almost  perfect.  she  approaches  higgs  and  anticipates  another  smile  from  him,  ❝  come  now,  let’s  see  a  real  smile  now.  ❞

❛ oh you’re here! ❜ iris’s hologram could hardly convey her excitement.    ❛ hold on,   i will be right there.    ❜ with that said the holograph disappeared.    soon after the big metal door of her bunker opened with a creak.    ❛  you must be tired from all that traveling—come in,   i’ve got something to show you.    ❜   /   ♡ @hepermeates​

          𝐕𝐔𝐋𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐒 𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐓𝐒 𝐃𝐄𝐄𝐏𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍 𝐀𝐍𝐘 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑,  𝐔𝐍𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄,  𝐌𝐔𝐂𝐇 𝐓𝐎𝐎 𝐄𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐎 𝐋𝐄𝐓 𝐈𝐓𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐒.  Despite an ancient hostility towards  ( both physical and sentimental  )  vicinity,  the she-fox does not recoil from a kind of gesture that she still fails to wholly comprehend:  with volatile and partially deceitful apathy now draped all over,  she allows him to come closer and furl his arms around her,  neither fighting back nor stiffening her muscles,  solely welcoming  (  albeit not in the most gleeful of manners  )  something that he was apparently in need of.  THERE IS TRUST IN HER DOCILITY,  a type of trust that is timidly unspoken and oftentimes cruelly suffocated,  a type of trust that is both a warm shelter and a cold prison...  A type of trust that soon incites the vastaya to move her own limbs as well and finally surrender completely to a sensation that feels oh so disgustingly humane to her feral heart   /    Something that she has secretly hungered for,  for far longer than she will ever be willing to openly admit. 

          Hound-like audits twitch and then lower themselves against darkened locks,  numbing all other sounds in pursuance of solely concentrating on the melody sung by his HEARTBEAT.  Countless are the words waiting against the back of her throat,  pleading to be finally given voice and meaning  ;  instead,  for now,  the she-fox does naught but slightly tighten her hold around him and comfortably nuzzle her visage closer to the crook of his neck.  Even if she cannot directly see his facial expression from her current position,  she can easily depend on the rhythm of his heart to know how and what he’s feeling.   ❝  Don’t get too used to this...  ❞   A dulcet whisper,  mischievous and taunting in nature,  an infantile camouflage to conceal a softened demeanor.   ❝  But,  for today,  you can stay like this for as long as you need.  ❞

❝ tell me something that will please my ears, higgs. ❞ baal said coldly with her back turned towards the hunter. she dared not reveal the weakness that had found its way in her eyes when no one else was around. she could not falter underneath the oncoming cold that would soon be upon inazuma.   /   @hepermeates​

[ nap ]   sender falls asleep against receiver.

          𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐔𝐁𝐓𝐒,  𝐒𝐎 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐏𝐎𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐋𝐘 𝐇𝐔𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐄,  𝐇𝐀𝐔𝐍𝐓 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓   ──   𝐈𝐒 𝐀 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐂𝐇 𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒,  𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄  ?  Her unspoken query remains unanswered,  soon suffocated and then cruelly buried in the most profound depth of her ever troubled mind  (  there,  it can either grow or wither,  bloom or wilt,  nourish or poison  )  .  After all,  what benefit is there,  to vocalize an intimate thought that no one will ever hear or acknowledge  ?  Her presumed interlocutor has,  in fact,  abandoned this conversation already   /   TO SLUMBER,  TO FIND REPOSE BESIDE A MAN-EATER...  Is he extraordinarily brave and careless,  or is he just foolish  ? 

          A silver-belled titter escapes from the cage of her mouth,  a sound so very delicate yet mellifluous,  a glimpse of mirthful springtime during the course of an achromatic winter  [  OF SENTIMENTS AND THOUGHTS  ]  that seems to never end.  Muscles relax,  shoulder slump downwards just enough to ensure his comfort and large vulpine ears soon follow suit,  pressing themselves against dusk-wrought locks in sign of feral docility  ;  she is suddenly all honey and milk,  a nymph who cares not for the improper manner he has nonchalantly intruded in her personal space,  hounding the unique purpose of making himself cozy   ──   Therefore,  cozy he shall be.  For her large cushiony appendages now resurrect from their previous state of languid inertia and come to loosely furl around his frame,  wholly enveloping him in a warm and luxurious embrace of alabastrine fur. 

          For how long,  will the she-fox allow him to rest like this  ?  Who knows.  But Ahri is certain that this is something that he,  hopefully,  will not forget any time soon.
