“Flower?” An eyebrow cocked at the little title, but the girl moved forward slowly because while the figure was familiar there was something FAR to wrong about the situation. Eyes narrowing at the other because hovering was not exactly normal either, which is exactly why a hand was ready to unseat the blade at her side. “Willing is not quite the word one should use…”
“A trail of blood, a friend at the end.” Despite looking alike the way the pale haired one spoke said more than enough, which meant Rei was going to keep her guard up until she either knew what was a safe distance from the scene. This is why she had told the priestess to always watch others because you never knew just what other people were capable of. “Nor play silly games, I came to assist… somehow… because I refuse to draw my weapon unless I intend to kill.” Which was something she doubted she could even do, right now. “That is what brings me, though it is not quite what I had assumed.”
【✿】 A hand moved up to muffle the dark laugh that escaped. ❛ Oh dear, how noble of you. Coming to assist a friend, is that so? Why the distance then? Come closer, since we are friends. ❜ She leaned her head forward, as if inviting the other woman closer to her bloodied self. ❛ And what gave you the impression assistance was necessary in the first place? Rather... ❜ The goddess leaned backwards, reaching over and lifting one of the deceased by the back of his collar. ❛ What would a little girl like you have done against these big, scary men like them? ❜ It was easy to imagine what led Rei here. After all, Isanami as the cheerful girl was well known, thus a frightened villager may have spread the word that the tiny, defenseless priestess was in danger.
But what they didn’t know was the power inside that same golden-hued was a destructive one, more than capable of taking care of a few thugs. ❛ There’s no need to be afraid, little flower. You’re precious to that girl, which gives me reason to toy with you... but? I’m a bit exhausted from playing with these people. Entertain me with a conversation. You wouldn’t kill a friend, would you? ❜
