REMADE.

his silence is from awe, tenderness, how he looks at her like she’s the only thing in the world that matters. everything could wither around him, but she is his sun, the moon and the starsㅤ—ㅤwarmth and beauty that surrounds his world that was once so grim, threatened to be consumed entirely by darkness. hands do not move from her waist, mirage does not flinch when hands are ‘pon the mask.ㅤshe loves you and i equally,ㅤand how grateful he is for that. how his heart beats for her that the beats almost deafen him. but her words are love songs, voice lulling him, he leans into her touch, far to aware of how she drinks in the details of his visageㅤ—ㅤeyes on skin and scars alike, and that faint blush that adorns his cheeks.

     ❝OH, I WAS NOT expecting such perfect Japanese!❞ His eyes lit up even more, something akin to intrigue and genuine delight present within as his smile grew just a little wider. How impressive! ❝The pleasure is surely all mine!❞ He had just met this woman, although he could already tell that he would like her. Sometimes one could just tell from a simple interactions like this one how things would be going forward, and he had seen more than enough for a good impression to be made. Then again, Kyojuro had a tendency to like people rather quickly, so that might not have meant much— ❝That aside, I am glad that your journey here was a calm one, although I suppose it will not be calm for long.❞ Not with how active demons were at least. The most difficult ones were the kind that hid in cities or the most unassuming of places. 

--- Emily was always drawn to those whom exuded kindness & and a FRIENDLY nature that was both genuine and ever so refreshing to witness ; she would definitely get along well with this man, she doubted there were many who disliked him and she was ALREADY fond of Rengoku Kyojuro. She couldn’t help the short burst of laughter that left her at his question, however. He still wore that same, broad smile but she could gauge the CURIOSITY in his eyes. “ Only the bare minimum for this trip, really. ” Turning slightly, she gestured to the satchel at her side, the strap hooked over her shoulder ; it wasn’t BULGING with supplies but there was not much she required, anyway. “ The rest of my luggage was sent over to the Butterfly Estate already. I will be staying there for duration of my time in Japan -- I have yet to meet Kocho Shinobu, but I have heard many great things. ”

Her assignment to this particular mission had been rather FAST, so it was more prudent to send her belongings on and immediately begin here with the Flame Hashira. “ I am eager to start, if you’re ready? From the reports, this demon is a particularly nasty one and we should make quick work of it - and I have no doubt that we will! ” Her BEAMING smile could rival his as the two began to push forward, Emily falling into step with the VIBRANT slayer ; his haori was BEGUILING to behold, truly. Many slayers in her own country would never wear something so eye-catching but she thought it was beautiful, very much so.
