@zaenshin: 🎀 - to braid / brush your muse’s hair . - alisa, yes jin knows how to braid hair and yes it's soothing for him

Alisa resembles a living doll perhaps now more than ever, seated upright in the cushions of the sofa, hands folded gracefully upon lap, the strands of her hair in the skillful hands of her master as he maneuvers them into a style to match her casual attire for this afternoon. The silence is comfortable and the closeness between them pleasant, despite the faint flush of color that's settled across her cheeks.

" Th-Thank you again, Master . . . If I am honest, I did not expect you to have experience styling hair. "

“ I don't deserve you. ” 😀

{ prompt }

This response from him was unsurprising.

Of course Jin wouldn't allow himself a glimpse of happiness. He wouldn't allow those walls that surround him come down. And maybe Xiaoyu should take all of that as something bad, something negative about him.

But she didn't.

"Of course you do." She said out loud, the smile still evident on her lips. Her eyes glanced down at his hand, daring herself to gently take hold, before closing her eyes.

"You deserve life, and happiness, Jin. Just as much as anyone else. Everything that's happened in this world, to our friends and family, to me and you, it's a lot. Thinking about it can be overwhelming I'm sure. After all, I was worried how things would turn out. But..."

Xiaoyu looked back up at him, the grip on his hand tightening ever so slightly.

"...If you need it, I'll help as much as I can. Do whatever it takes to prove that you do deserve this. How long have we known each other? You're still you." Though after a few seconds, the young girl looked to the side with an awkward chuckle.

"I don't mean to toot my own horn of course, hehe."

She wasn't that influential, but she'd still try her best. Giving up on him wasn't an option.

@zaenshin: 🤺 - to challenge your muse to a sparring match . - alisa

" M-Me? But Master, it is my duty to protect you. I do not wish to risk causing harm! "

@zaenshin: ❛ how did you find me? ❜ - alisa

Alisa descends from flight mode and lands with grace, ensuring there is appropriate distance between them. They haven't been acquainted for much more than a week but judging by his cold demeanor and frequent dismissals, he doesn't seem particularly fond of her company. Regardless she has a duty to uphold, ensuring no harm comes to Jin Kazama. And she wouldn't be very good at her job if she wasn't able to track his location anytime and anywhere.

"You possess an irregular heat signature, I presume as a result of the Devil gene."

She takes a moment to observe their surroundings, this spot nestled deep within the forest where it seems he's remained for the past several days. Attention returns to her master soon enough, Alisa offering a bow before standing upright once more.

"I apologize if I have disturbed you, Master. However there were no other methods of contacting you, and I was not informed you would be departing for longer than twenty-four hours…"
