she's very much the type of person to rip someone's jugular out for touching her, so it was difficult for her to understand why she became so comfortable not only touching someone else but laying with her head on their shoulder long enough to feel the muscles in her body ease and to actually become relaxed. gekkabijin came to a conclusion the night before, so when she enters one of the many common areas in the mbcc she sits as furthest as she can be from che, even opting to sit on the floor with her legs crossed in a basket. / @ohdiscity

sitting with one leg crossed over the other, serpent lifts her head once seeing a dark blur from the corner of her eye and her delicate countenance brightens. ❝ nox! my dear, won't you come and sit with me for a while? ❞ she was just beginning to grow irritatingly bored. / @ohdiscity

receiving a request to accept a last-minute emergency mission, bai yi didn't think twice about accepting and returning the paperwork to nightingale. the list of sinners requested was already on the paperwork bai yi skimmed over, and she memorised the list of names. they'd be her partners, after all. only, when she shows up to the meet-up point out in the yard, she's surprised to hear from hella that demon wouldn't be able to attend the mission due to an injury from his last one. before she can begin to wonder who would take his place the chief strolls over with someone quite familiar by her side, immediately gaining the attention of the gathered sinners. a brow quirks as chief explains the situation with demon and that cinnabar, a former security supervisor, would be taking his place. when the explanation comes to an end and the chief turns to begin to handle the transportation, bai yi slides up to cinnabar's side, lower arm sneakily resting on the woman's shoulder, her chin planting firmly on said arm. ❝ it's a real bummer to hear about demon, ❞ bai hums, being a little too close for comfort and knowing it, ❝ but you'll protect me, right cinnabar~? ❞ / @ohdiscity

@ohdiscity asked : ❛ i had it under control. you didn’t need to do that. ❜ mess to serpent

it was their first mission after being given the all-clear from all required parties within the mbcc and mess was excited, while serpent was indifferent to it. she was rather surprised that the chief would have both girls on the same squad, it was either a brilliant idea or a very bad idea - given how protective serpent has proven to be over the younger woman. while mess was more than capable of handling herself and slaying whatever monster threaded her waters, serpent would always be a looming shadow, standing right behind her in case such a time came were mess wasn't strong enough.

that's why when she spots a group of corruptors heading the girl's way who looked just a little too big, a little too strong, and sparked a little too much fear in the purple-haired girl the reptilian-themed woman didn't think twice about ditching her current position and clearing the distance between the two within seconds, leaping over obstacles, stray corruptors and even her own teammates to reach the youngling. her heart skipped a beat as she moved in the way of mess and the incoming corruptors, her visage which usually had soft features and a sneaky smile were now contorted and scrunched to reveal pure, raw rage. swinging her scythe and chains, she clears the incoming mutated monsters in a few blows and turns towards her dear friend, already anticipating the kind of reaction she'd get.

as expected, she gets moaned at for a minute or so while the others collect their barrings and join the two women, watching the scenario play out before them to get a better idea as to why serpent almost jeopardized the mission. while she gets called out serpent stands with a loving smile, unnatural, reptile-like hues gazing down at the younger sinner with gratitude. thank goodness she was alright. when silence finally falls once more a pale hand outstretches, sharp, black nails gracing over mess' cheeks, brushing back amethyst bangs. ❝ i know, ❞ she admits quietly, quickly wrapping both arms around her, bringing her in close, one hand securely around her shoulders and the other around her head, fingers gingerly patting her as her head lay upon her chest. leaning down, serpent presses her cheek against the pretty bow atop mess' head and lets out a sigh of relief. ❝ i just wanted the fighting to be over so i could hug you again! ❞

It's not often Kiba finds himself in this position, looking for Akamaru. Sure, he's specialized in tracking other people and missing things, and most of his missions revolve around that, but to search for Akamaru specifically? It's not unheard of, but still bizarre in its own way. Of course, his best bud had a life and probably wanted to go around and do his own ninken thing, Kiba supposed, they weren't attached at the hip. Kiba growled to himself in frustration. A warning would've been nice – at least he would know if all this looking around was really necessary or not, now he was just worried. That is, until the familiar scent he was following pooled into the middle of the woods, and he witnesses betrayal in its ultimate form.    “  So, a pretty chick issall it takes for ya to ditch me all mornin', huh?  ”    He aims an arched brow at the ninken lying on his belly, loving all the attention he was getting from the stranger. Still, Akamaru's ears snapped up once Kiba's voice reached him, and the giant dog trots satisfied back to his side.    “  And who yer supposed to be?  ”   —   @ohdiscity's hella.
