The dust finally settles, the summoning a success. Much to his surprise, the World does not provide him with knowledge. Why provide what he already knows? This place...this presence...it all feels much too familiar to him, as if he’s been here before.

Assassin finally looks up, wondering if his Master is present, if they are even worthy of his full loyalty Through the haze, he manages to make out a shadowy figure, standing just beyond the summoning circle, a tattered piece of blue cloth disintegrating from their hands. Ah...his scarf...not a bad choice for a catalyst.

Wordlessly, he shoots his Master a piercing gaze, arms folded across his chest and a hidden smirk from behind his mask. “Servant Assassin as summoned,” he said, tilting his head to get a better look at his Master.

They were....smaller than he expected, but he quickly shrugged that off. Size wasn’t everything, and if anything, he was the one who would be doing all the fighting. "Your orders, Master?”

-> Hugs them!

What should he do? Ruri is touching him, embracing him. His fingers twitch, and after some hesitation, returns it.

When he had found her, she had been ready, a knife held tightly between her hands. Her attack had been desperate, too hasty and easy to dodge, and he’d caught her wrist, disarming her almost instantly. Though her attack could have worked on their shared enemy, Tsukikage had been trained in the art of combat since he was a child. 

It took a while for him to convince her that he was on her side, though she was still wary of him, so he’d handed her her weapon back. It was tucked in her boots now.

“Your claws will need a bit more sharpening then.” He wasn’t saying it to demean her, but to encourage her. The fight in her eyes was strong, even he could see that.

[Aww, thank you; you’re too kind <3 I really would’ve loved to respond to you more frequently, had my concentration allowed for it when you were still here <3 Would you like to exchange Discord names, so we can talk? I could IM you mine :)]

// Oh, I don’t blame you at all about your concentration! Rping is for fun, so forcing you to do something you couldn’t do would have been a pretty jerk move. You replied when you could, and that’s enough for me.

And, sure! I’d love to have you on my Discord. Send it right on over when you have the time to!

[Aww, I am super sad to hear about that, but then again, I’ve been in the same position in my previous fandom, so I understand. I’ll still miss you, though, and it’d be nice to hear from you from time to time and maybe talk. Last but not least, all of your muses were A+++, so big kudos for having put so much love and effort into them for such a long time <3]

// I’d love to continue taking as well if you’re ever up to doing it!

And, thanks,,, it’s still nice to know people enjoyed how my muses acted. It was really fun trying out rping for the first time, and playing with your Ruri (even if it didn’t last long) was always extremely fun, so kudos to you as well!

 I’ll definitely miss you, too! I hope you have fun while you continue on!  🌹

Rarely did they get a chance to relax anymore, not with how many prominent people coming in and out of Reiji’s door and Ruri being told to make nice with them to be in their good graces. So this tea shop was a nice change of pace.

Taking a seat across from her, Tsukikage rested his elbows on the table and silently nodded, agreeing with her statement. “Mm. Hikage used to bring me here during downtime…”

He pauses, and then stares at the wooden surface of the table, lost in his memories of his older brother-

Here, try the dango, TsukiMint tea really is the best.Don’t beat yourself up over it, we got him in the end, right?-

sitting next to him, mask dragged down just enough to consume the delicacies offered here.

“The…the dango is good,” he murmured.

36. Comforting hug

He’d never seen Ruri like this before.

She wasn’t crying, per se, or angrily cursing out against the world (or her brother, in this instance) for going against her wishes like most others did. But there was certainly tension running through that small body of hers, but it was hidden, subtle like Dennis tended to see most of her emotions as, and her silence made everything suspicious.

Which made this current situation all the more awkward. What, after all, could he say to comfort her, especially when he had little information on what caused it outside of “Older brother”? (What could Kurosaki have possibly done this time?)

Frowning, Dennis lowered himself down to where she sat. “Ruri? It’ll be okay, you know...” Easy for him to say. “I don’t know what your brother did--no need to tell me, really--but you can get through it. You’re strong, capable... This doesn’t sound like it’s working.”

Didn’t seem like it was working on her, either.

He’d never had to comfort someone before--hell, he barely comforted his own self half of the time. What could he say to make things better for her?

Ah. ‘Say’--?

Perhaps...? If not with words, then with actions?

“Ruri.” Dennis’ tone was resolute, more firm than he truly felt. He broke a second later. “I--I’m going to hug you, all right? Shove me away if it’s too much.”

A fair warning, he believed, and went right for it.

He couldn’t hug her entirely as they sat side-by-side, but he threw his arm over her shoulder and lightly tugged her close. She settled in against his side, not speaking, but Dennis counted that as perhaps a good thing. Ruri would speak up about anything that irritated her--if this was wrong, he would know.

“A little on the silly side of things,” he found himself saying, “but, you know, hugs are important. And nice. So until you’re done with whatever you’re feeling, I’ll just sit right here and hug you. If you’re fine with that.”

No answer.

But ah, well, that was better than nothing.
