@crescentreap » "oh, no faaaaaair!" but ruby's laughing even as she whines. another lunge for panther, only to trip over her own cloak like a clumsy pup and nearly go sprawling. tag would be far simpler with a burst of petals, but... simpler isn't always better. not if it precludes the dizzying way blake looks at her the moment before wolf tries to pounce. yeah, ruby could do this all day. "i'm still gonna getcha!"
if anyone saw the way blake grins in this very moment , they ‘ d think of her as a completely different person than once thought. she ‘ s spent so many of days upon reuniting with her team hidden , elusive &. still in this place of guilt for leaving them when they needed her the most , but leave it to ruby to work beyond this seemingly unrelenting wall of toxin laden thorns just like she did back at beacon. she ‘ s always been special , even in the times when blake would have never openly admitted it. there ‘ s talent to be found within one so hell bent on shining light upon a self proclaimed forsaken shadow &. for that , blake really does owe ruby the world &. more. who knows what kind of person she ‘ d be without that light of warm silvers. girlish giggles flit betwixt lips as nightshade leaves shadows in her wake for rose youth to run into , letting her leader get even closer each time only to dance out of the way like walking a tightrope. even in a simple game of tag are blake ‘ s movements riddled with grace &. elegance , a walking shadow so used to tip - toeing her way around that the habit never truly left her side. belladonna smiles , admiration twinkling in heterochromatic eyes. ❝ i thought you were faster than this ! ❞ she calls , jest challenging yet friendly as blake goads ruby into even more sporadic pounces that leave blake quite literally jumping off the walls despite of the flourish of rose petals drifting closer &. closer.
maybe the ever cunning panther accepts her demise at the powerful jaws of an unrelenting wolf. whenever ruby ‘ s concerned , blake will accept anything. how could she ever deny such pleading eyes &. soft tonality ? or so she thinks. when ruby comes near , blake falls to a standstill. girl umbra lets little red move in for yet another pounce , but before her hands can even touch her blake steps out of the way last minute &. catches her pursuer before her face collides with the moonlit grass below. silver belle chuckle comes from her , crouching as she gently lowers ruby onto the grass with a smile so genuine it would surely shock her past self. ruby makes her soft , she makes her brave. more than she ‘ d ever know. ❝ ruby , that was — oh , ❞ she pushes messy strands from ruby ‘ s face , tucks a strand behind her ear. ❝ i ‘ m sorry , are you okay ? i almost didn ‘ t see you coming. ❞
