he's back. after a few months being gone for a training retreat with a new litter , he was back. it was never easier being gone for that long anymore. before he's done it with no hesitation - now it seems like a life time.

as if he could feel the vibration of light feet hitting the ground - no it was the sound that came from inside his home. was she waiting for him there ? there shouldnt be any doubt. as he opened the door and was met with a smaller frame barreling into him. quickly catching her and himself by the heels of his feet. surprised for merely a second before arms quickly wrapped tightly around her.

Blue meant every word, knew without a doubt that she would do anything for Ozemir, all he had to was say the word. He thought that maybe Ozemir would finally understand the feelings Blue harbored for him, maybe the other demon would finally see through to Blue as a potential partner. What he didn't think, was that Ozemir would reach out for Blue. For a moment Blue's eyes widen, looking down to his hand that reached for Blue, for a moment tension lined his shoulders, jaw setting as if he were about to say something or do something... But just as Ozemir touched Blue's face that tension melted from him, throat visibly bobbing as he takes in a deep breath, eyes closing as he leans into the touch ever so slightly. For a moment, a pressure built behind his eyes, nose flaring as he sucks in a deep breath. Reaching up, he covers Ozemir's hand with his own, throat working yet again as he struggled to not visibly cry. Though perhaps the proof of the desire was there in the ever so subtle tremble of his lower lip

oh.

blue was really full of surprises. it was the second time a reaction from blue made ozemir think twice. second guessing just how deep of a person the other went. from the reaction - he went deeper than he could have assumed or would have ever guessed. but with the reaction, ozemir also almost pulled away. the tension, the stress look in his face - that was something he feared as well. what did he hear .. did he know something ?

it was a fear of his own that almost pulled away, but stayed when the tension left. the leaning into his hand, the gentle moment. a touch both were worried over and both leaned into. ozemir's thumb caressed the other's cheek slowly, watching the reaction unfold. the trembled lip cause the him to lean and press his forehead against blue's. the affection seemingly more easy to give once it was accepted.

Rage... rage rage and more rage, until there was simply... nothing. Nothing harbored in her chest. Not joy, not anger, barely even love. In the moments before she realized Shuni was there, a small part of her realized that she should be concerned. That she should be working on a way to fix this, to go back to the way she had been just moments ago. But that demoness was gone now. And in its place, something far more terrifying. Looking over at Shuni, she felt the barest of stirrings in her chest, felt the love she bore for her family at the very least flourish to the barest of seedlings. She'd do anything for them, at least that much remained true. "Another one? You have somebody in mind?" she questioned, head canting to the side as she regarded them. And something she saw there had her lips curling into a slowly growing smile, approaching them until she stood directly before Shuni. "Lead the way.."

there was no concern from shuni. only.. interest. wondering what had finally made her snap - and why wasn't it him that got through to her. even so, he was feeling rather chip about this new sight. not often did he even seen her demon form and now it was right in front of them. he was taking it in and nodding in approval.

" hm someone in mind ? no , but that shouldn't really be a problem , right ?" anyone would do. that's what they were hoping she would think. was it a test ? a bit. see how far gone ( how far in ) she really was.

that was a heavy commitment. something that ozemir wasn't aware that blue could make. he stares at him and just looks at the expression he was making. was .. was he serious, was he teasing, or messing with him. there was a pull in his chest. should he trust it - should he trust him.

And crushed it without a thought.

oni - shuni to aubrey and the rest of the family - always knew there was something deep within aubrey. it was the fact that daichi, emma, were always hovering that he got a gist of just what it could be. often time teasing, saying so could do what he does. be like him and not give into the thought of being better ( though he didn't word it that way ). maybe to say he wished everyone was more like him and hurt others, mauled them with glee, and found pleasure in it. but it was all jokes of course. no way, sweet, dearest, innocent, little aubrey would turn out like them.

they sometimes liked being wrong though.

it was the sight before them that made their eyes widen. out of surprise, out of shock, and then out of pure glee. like a little shimmer in his eye, a little sparkle. a little bit of hope that this will turn out to grow into something much more wonderful.

an impressed whistle left her lips, using it to announce their arrival.

"..I'm back," she spoke softly, remaining where she was partially hidden by the shadows as if that would make anything any better

though he already knew she was nearby by the mere feeling of her presence being closer -- it was the stench that reached him first. it was overpowering and not a smell he had been expecting. he did expect her to come through the window. it seemed like she preferred it that way.
