SLOW–BURN SPARKS & QUIET HEARTFIRE / accepting .

It was pretty admirable Maelle had kept this up so long — eager to perfect her technique through training , they'd been sparring for much of the evening , a horrific number of nails and punctures inflicted upon the dummy they'd set up . Not really necessary , but , a good way to improve upon their accuracy . Ready to call it a night , Nobara drags her feet towards Maelle , planting a hand upon her shoulder with lengthy sigh .

' Probably should call it there , yeah ? Kinda getting late ... won't be much light left soon . '

With every intent to lead the way back , she turns , only to be stopped by a hand tugging at her own . The protest follows shortly after , and when she turns , met with such pleading eyes , it takes a moment to find her words .

How weak she is to a woman who could kill her ! The Cremator seeks a firm hand like moth to flame , and the Knave does not intend to disappoint . Only a few steps forward and their arm is revealed , that beautiful crimson extended to ensure some space may remain between them . It's enough to make her heart dance ...

' Mm , and if I am ? You don't intend to be so rough with a woman you've just met , do you ? '

She hopes the answer is I do .

Nobara , already flustered by the close proximity of Reze , recoils immediately from the breath she can feel on her neck . As if it's the most offensive thing she's ever heard , like she'd be capable of doing something so risky and stupidly put herself in danger ...

Stupid . Stupid how her chest falls into itself the moment she's around Maki , how her heart that should know better aches in longing , a pathetic desire to consume Maki's thoughts the way she has Nobara's . She can't demand all of Maki's time nor attention , she knows it selfish to want , but ...

Even now , hearing her voice , the sincerity in attentive words ... her pulse pounds in her ears , demands she find enough clarity to wrangle the words in order & spare herself the embarrassment of looking like an idiot . More than she probably already does . What she wanted ... she really can't say . The truth swells within throat , leaves a bitterness upon tongue she can not yet stomach enough to swallow . It risks too much . Losing their friendship ... is worse than being rejected .

' Huh ? Why're you asking me that ? '

Deflect .

' Ooh , aren't you the charmer . '

Arlecchino may not yet know this , but inviting Cipher to anything only welcomes mischief . While she's not cruel enough to immediately overwhelm the Knave's senses , it's not really in her nature to deny herself the comfort of a handsome woman ... Refusing the offer would be rude , wouldn't it ?

The laughter that escapes her bubbles from throat , arms extending towards the sky to stretch form out with satisfied purr . When relaxed enough , she takes her place within Arlecchino's lap , slipping arms 'round shoulders to dig claws into the fabric covering back — steadying herself , though ... she's quite satisfied with evoking a reaction .

She can't stand Mai . Always so damn egotistical , and couldn't care less about how her words get under everyone's skin — no , that's not quite right . She cares enough about being a pain in the ass . It outweighs whatever humanity she may have , though Nobara's pretty sure it amounts to zero . Treats Maki like shit , cheats at baseball , ruined Nobara's new tracksuit , and what the hell is up with those pants ???

With so much hatred towards Mai ... why didn't Nobara move away the second head slumped onto her shoulder ?! She's lost track of how long they've been like this ; though she's been tapping away at her phone to pass the time , she hasn't really bothered to look at the clock . Mai rises when the sun begins to set , the light from Nobara's phone soon the only thing illuminating the space between them .

Nobara is simply full of complaints today ; too hot , too humid , and this shopping trip has been a total bust so far . Nothing really caught her eye , and everything that did was way too expensive for the little she'd saved up for their hangout ... Still , Reze seemed to be having enough fun ; a coffee and sandwich isn't the most exciting haul , but it was enough to make her smile . It's nice ...

Just as a store's display catches her eye , Reze catches Nobara's hair between her fingers , tugging from the scalp down & prodding underneath layers . One gentle swat at hand , another , but it's painfully obvious Reze has no intention of relenting . Worse , she's embarrassingly close ...

' Hey , quit messin' up my — '

Reze parts at last , triumphantly holding remains of a small beetle . Every part of Nobara shrivels up . Coming from the countryside , you get used to bugs ... but it doesn't make it any less gross knowing they were crawling on you .
