"Hmm, this is a bit of a pickle..." Jiaoqiu mused, a small, carefree smile on his lips despite the statement. With slow, measured steps, the foxian walked through the forest, golden eyes carefully scanning the surrounding area - and then he paused, gaze landing on a tree...and the small scorchmark in the center of its trunk.

"So I've been walking in circles. Again."

The healer sighed and leaned back against a large rock, eyeing the tree he'd marked earlier in the day. How many times had it been now? He was starting to get quite tired of the sight of it.

Rustle.

Pink ears twitched at the sound, alert, and his head snapped in its direction, both hopeful and wary.

"Who's there?"

{-slides angsty vibes at you after that earlier cute ask-}

“Who did this to you?” The Sanga's usual warm and gentle voice instead carried a harsher edge as he asked the question, concern still clearly present, but… He also couldn't help the quiet hiss that edged into his voice either.

It had been a while since he'd last encountered the other male, and to find him injured after such a time?… Something about it undoubtably made Shui at least a little angry. Probably because these didn't look to be injuries made by any sort of monster… Ears pinning back at the thought as his tail lashed a little, Shui's brows stitched together as he swallowed down that unpleasant ember.

"But more importantly… Here--" Voice returning to that more gentle tone, he carefully brought Jiaoqiu's arm around his shoulders, wanting to help steady the other on his feet. Treating him would be important too, but first, it would be better to get somewhere safer…

Jiaoqiu nearly sagged against Shui from the immense relief washing over him. For a moment, he'd thought they had found him again and while he'd participated in his fair share of war, he was but a simple chef and a healer, and he'd always left the fighting to those who knew how. Being chased down by a small group of people in a place he didn't know was far more than Jiaoqiu could handle alone.

It was only by pure luck that he'd managed to slip through their grasp and flee blindly into the woods before they could inflict any more damage.

What was even luckier was hearing that familiar voice at the very moment his legs threatened to buckle beneath him from exhaustion and pain.

"Thank you," the Foxian breathed out, a shaky little smile pulling at his lips as he leaned against Shui. He could hear the concern and anger in the other male's voice ( and it probably shouldn't make him feel so much at ease as it did ) and Jiaoqiu's tail gently brushed against Shui's own, a small attempt to reassure him and ease his worries. "I'm not sure who they were, but...it's fine. I'll be fine. And if I ever see them again, I'll make sure to run the other way."

Ah, this probably wasn't the best time to joke around, was it?

"...Really, though, thank you."

[starrailedxboys]

A silly question, but since it popped into my brain— Once they got to know each other better, how do you think Jiaoqiu might feel about it if Shui wanted to groom him? :3

-from @intertwining-hearts ♡

He'd be surprised at first, a little embarrassed maybe, and he'd probably ask some questions about it (if he hasn't already learned about the culture of that world that is), but I think he'd agree to it and maybe even feel a little honored that Shui wanted to groom him. :3

Even then, Jiaoqiu would definitely be a bit awkward about it right in the beginning, though he'd eventually relax and really enjoy it~ Once he'd be more comfortable with it, he might even ask to groom Shui in return! ...Just. Be warned that he'd most likely be really bad at it and he'd need some time and a couple of tries to get it right. But he'd do his best! :3

kabedon {+ some extra flavor, because this came into my brain and wouldn’t leave—}

Having run into the smaller male again, Asato had been hoping that maybe they could get a bit more friendly with each other… And so, he’d (almost sheepishly) offered to come along when they’d suggested going for a walk. Being silently relieved upon seeing they’d be heading in a direction without much of anyone else around…

It seems, though— that they might not have been totally alone. Because even after trying to shake the feeling, Asato still felt a little too sure that someone else was following… Soon enough, without taking a moment to say anything about it— Souji was whisked over into the small gap between a couple of buildings, Asato’s larger form now mostly hiding him from the street view… with the cat’s previously soft expression now almost scarily stern— the look of a predator who’d pounce once something got too close… That look being directed back towards the street, whilst perked ears listened for that earlier set of footsteps.

Send in “kabedon” to pin my muse against the wall. @intertwining-hearts

Ah!! it was the man from before!! Souji had been walking and ran into him randomly. It was good that he had, since he had no idea how to find him. But he certainly hadn't forgotten him. After all, who presents a pebble for a kiss?? "I still have it, you know, i keep it on my vanity..." he admitted. "It was such a pretty shade I knew it was special... no one has ever given me such a pretty stone before..."

The other offered to walk with him, and he gratefully accepted. Even if they said very little, it would be nice to be in the other's calm presence. He noticed that all too easily... his soothing presence. Even if he was nervous.

But something was wrong, and he didn't sense in the air, per se, but rather he sensed the shift in the other, but before he could say anything, he was against a wall in an alley, practically smothered by the other man. He gasped, eyes wide and looking up, unsure what to do or say. He watched the other look back, on high alert. Was someone there?? If it got to a fight, he could take care of himself.... but there was a part of him that couldn't stop the blush... being so immediately guarded as he was...

...he couldn't say he didn't enjoy it.

There’s a soft, low noise… Followed by the gentle push of a large head against Keyaru’s side— Earlier noise now revealed to be soft chuffs from a certain beastly feline, as Asato nudged into him.

-from @intertwining-hearts ♡, because Asato saw ya boi and wanted to say hi~ u w u

He'd recognize those sweet chuffs anywhere, and there's a smile on Keyaru's face even before his eyes landed on Asato. His expression softened, a little laugh escaping him, as he lowered a hand to gently stroke the beastly feline's cheek.

"What, did you miss me that bad~?"

...To be fair, even though it hadn't been very long, Keyaru had missed Asato too.

chirping with joy is the echo of colors' mayhem. Despite the rain soaking the room and everything within, her petite and lovely form nay melts; the painting [ Mary ] continues her little dance. Her scarf, her dress and golden locks sway to the rhythm of her body and eventually, she grabs a hold of Ib's hands. Soft warm things. She desperately yearns for the same warmth. But this little secret of hers is safely hidden between her lips and some old, dusty pages. No lips of this gallery will ever tattletale of it. And her little painted heart truly hopes that no one will try to find it.

❝ Come on, Ib! ❞ A vivid and glossy shade of blues stares into her friend's eyes, boldly trying to sway Ib along with her. Who knows, perhaps if she is lucky, she will get a twirl out of Ib! ❝ Dance with me! ❞ / starter call / @intertwining-hearts

Shinobu stared warily from behind his new favorite tree at the wisps of fog he could see deeper in the woods. He wasn't sure why, but a part of him was shouting to stay away from whatever that place was, an animalistic sense of danger making the fur of his tail bristle and his ears press back against his head.

When he first found himself in this forest, just a few hours ago, nothing had been too out of the ordinary ( with the exception of his current situation, of course ), but this was...different. He didn't like it.

Slowly backing away from the sight of that unsettling fog, the kitsune was just about to turn and head somewhere else - when he spotted someone. A male. With ears and a tail like a feline. Alone.

And much too close to the fog for Shinobu's liking.

"H-hey!" The little fox called out anxiously. "Don't go there! It's bad! Dangerous!"
