 laughter :  my  muse  hears  your  muse  laughing  uncontrollably  and  approaches  to  see  if  they  are  okay.
I lied, Iâm just going to pick which muse is doing what based on the ask/itself. So, Iâm reading this one as Orochi laughing and Kamuy hearing her as vice versa wouldnât work!Â
   Scaled palms rested idly upon the soft, fresh grass covering the meadow they had pitched camp in. For once, the sun was blistering overhead, and the army had been blessed with the incredibly rare chance to rest, if only to allow those who were wounded to recover properly and for those involved in the planning phase to gather their thoughts after their last confrontation. Kamuy belonged to neither party currently, though he imagined Ryoma would seek him out after the meeting to get his opinion on what was spoken about (for it was too long and too grueling a process to force the others to sit through and wait for him to write everything down for them), but as of now, he had a moment of freedom and he thought it would be best spent out of everyoneâs way. That, and it was rare for him to have the chance to enjoy the weather, as well as the scent of newly bloomed flowers and the distant sound of his comrades speaking about this and that.Â
    Inhaling the sweet aroma, he allowed his eyes to slip shut; his wings tucked neatly behind his back and his tail wrapped about his legs; unmoving to prevent it from crushing the flowers gathered about his person. If his talons and claws werenât so clumsy, he would have offered to help prepare the meals (theyâd used him for a living knife last time - Ryoma was dangerously upset afterwords), or assist in attending to the wounded and sick (his claws had shred through the bandages he tried to wrap), or even care for the animals (they fled from him because he reeked of blood and was something strange and frightening to them), but his last attempts hadnât gone over well and heâs rather not cause more harm than good. Â
     Feeling something tickle his cheeks, he wrinkled his nose and slowly pried his bright, crimson eyes open. Remaining perfectly still, his gaze lowered until he could see the fuzzy outline of a pair of delicate, white wings fluttering gently against the bridge of his nose where a butterfly had decided to perch. A smile stretched along his lips; crinkling the scales twisted into the skin beneath his eyes and beside his mouth in the process. However, it didnât linger long before booming laughter echoed across the field and sent it fleeing far away. For a moment, Kamuyâs lips twisted into a frown as he watched it leave before his brows eventually knitted together in concern and he craned his neck to look behind him.Â
     He could see Orochiâs trembling form amongst the colorful flowers, and he quickly rose to his feet. He hadnât thought she had been injured, but, seeing her now, he couldnât be too sure. Stumbling over to her; his entire face contorted in concern, he forgot to be careful and ended up kicking up a handful of purple and pinks flowers. Itâs only when he reaches her that he realizes sheâs laughing - not crying. A silent sigh leaves his mouth as he kneels down beside her, waving his hand in front of her eyes in an attempt to get her attention before pointing at her and tilting his head. Perhaps he had missed something? Â
