Kaname Kuran

Takuma frowned, although he had expected that answer.  Despite knowing Kaname for so long, it felt like there was always a barrier that existed between them when it came to earning the pureblood’s trust and he couldn’t blame him for that. 

Lemony Snicket (via thoughtkick)

⟡ ═══ ♛ ═══ ⟡ “Aiya~ Aren’t you here for a purpose~? Other than whisking me away from my work~?” she trails a hand up and down his arm slowly, fingers slipping under his sleeve, nails lightly dancing across his skin without leaving a single mark.

⟡ ═══ ♛ ═══ ⟡ “Hmm… Tell me some Pureblood secrets~”

⟡ ═══ ♛ ═══ ⟡ “… Che. How annoying.” Not to mention - it HURTS. But that just adds to the annoyance. Damned level E’s- did her leg look like some sort of bone for those beasts to gnaw on?

         ˙ As if.

         ˙ Had she been in hunter gear, the material would’ve offered a bout of protection. But she’d simply been out in town when she sensed the nest nearby ( how had HQ allowed it to stay there unnoticed anyway? Ugh. Even MORE annoying ). On the job or not, it’s not like she could let it be, so she didn’t. The nest had turned out far bigger than expected ( which made it even MORE surprising that it seemed to have gone unnoticed, what is HQ even DOING?? ) and despite taking care of the problem, she hadn’t gotten out unscathed.

         ˙ Running her fingers through her dust-and-blood stained hair, Eiri puts her shoe back on after inspecting the damage fully. It’s annoying, it stings, but it’ll heal. She can still walk ( even if it hurts ), and, quite frankly? Her blood smells FAR too potent to linger in what used to be a crazy vampire nest just to sulk.

Among the sparse trees, hanging on gangly branches, Kaname’s familiars watch. It’s her prerogative to eliminate Level E's—more so a nest of them. However, much to his displeasure even when clearly outnumbered, she’d rather take it on all herself—never once calling for assistance. As though pride-driven.

He should know by now just how stubborn Hunters can be.

Keeping watch during the latest class session, until he’s had enough of being a by-stander. He leaves the rest to Takuma and departs into the corridor, vanishing in a flurry of bats.

⟡ ═══ ♛ ═══ ⟡ Eugh… What had already been a physical pain is about to become a mental one too, isn’t it? She can already imagine the nagging.

         ˙ “Kuran,” she acknowledges in turn “Here I thought you were just going to keep on lurking.” or rather, hoping.

∞ ═══ ♚ ═══ ∞ ❝Be grateful I didn't interfere in your latest venture.❞ He could've ended that shit show before she even stepped foot into the area. Oh, but that would be robbing her of her job, a bad thing by her measure. It's just something he can't quite get, and at the same time, perhaps she's just bored and this is her calling.

Felt like posting some of what I find to be the best of Hino’s art when it comes to eyes.

⟡ ═══ ♛ ═══ ⟡ Despite being two floors from the designated hall, she can still sense the many vampires crowded in the luxuriously decorated underground ballroom, crowded together like a bunch of bees, buzzing around their pureblooded queen bee, huh?

         ˙ Leaning against the doorway, she gazes out upon the maintained garden. Water and greenery, she’s just glad there aren’t any flowers near ; they’d just perish from her proximity.

         ˙ The moon reflects on her hair, mirrors in her eyes which come with their usual faint glow. All things considered, she’d say she found a rather peaceful place to take a small break. Though she’s not the only one it seems.

⟡ ═══ ♛ ═══ ⟡ “Heh, charming as ever, aren’t you~? No wonder they all cling to you, if you use words like that~” an empty jab ; they both know she’s the only one he uses those kinds of comments on ( and that she’d better be, because she won’t take kindly to it at all if others receive them ).

         ˙ She waits for him to join her, something she’s already expected the moment he appeared into the doorway ( and hadn’t that in itself not already been set in stone the moment she left the hall? ) before shifting her weight and leaning against his side. His warmth, his aura, his scent: she allows all of him to envelop her senses.

∞ ═══ ♚ ═══ ∞ He halts upon approaching her, she speaks in such an open manner he's always found rather refreshing. Holds nothing back. Good or bad, it's always been a delight to behold. Watching her like this, it's a wonder isn't it? The path she's taken, a fortunate one in a way. Any other and nothing would be the same.

A flicker and it's gone, her next comment draws his attention back.

Amuse her?
