The Universes Shadows

Nope, I am just wound up, like I said.

Wound up? Izanami raises an eyebrow, from what? If you are overworked give some of it to me

Gotta a client with some serious trust issues. I only just got the guy to trust me, and the info I can get from him is worth the exhaustion.

Izanami frowns, then maybe I should deal with them. You should not be exhausted love

Izanami frowns but ruffles Rex’s hair, oh really?

Yeah, it took months for him to trust me enough to do meaningful business. However, that’s enough about what I have been up to, what have you been doing, love?

Hmm not a lot, same old same old. But why did you not report this difficulty to me like you have last time hm?

I didn’t want to burden you with this. I knew it was something I could deal with in time, and it wouldn’t do any good to make you worry about it.

Izanami hums at that and looks down at rex, gears turning in her head. My dear…why don’t we stop talking of work hm? How about we spend some time with just the two of us~

Oh? Did you have anything special in mind?

Hmmmm how aboutttt…well what would be most relaxing for you my dear

Izanami humphs and wraps her arms around rex before kissing the mark. She had sensed something strange in rex but she could not exactly pinpoint what it was until now.

Rex flinches at first before they start purring, pulling themself close to Izanami.

She runs a soothing hand through Rex’s hair before whispering, where did the mark come from love?

...what do you mean?

That little syringe mark my love, where did it come from hm? Don’t lie to me

Oh... uh, I am not quite sure, but I am sure it is nothing to worry about!

Mmm then why do I feel a trace of shadows within you hm?

Iza, I am fine. I promise you whatever you are sensing is nothing to worry about.

Why do you lie? My senses have never lied to me and never will. Tell me what happened my love

...Could I please not talk about this? I am fine now, that is what matters.

If you do not want to talk about it that does not imply that you are fine. Rex my love, I love you and will do anything to protect you, so tell me what’s wrong so I may help

Nope, I am just wound up, like I said.

{He nods once. Kori points to her. It's his way of asking her condition. He still was rather shy when it came to using his words.}

Hinote smiles, I am quite well, especially now that you are here, my dear. The blaze moon is here soon so festivities are being prepared so I have been quite busy. How about you?

{He raises a brow.} That is today? {Kori still had trouble discerning what day and time it was, this was no surprise he didn't know. Either way, it's a good thing he brought a gift. He hands the wrapped gift to her with a quiet apology.}

can I stay? {He blinks at her and tucks some of her hair behind her ear.}

Hinote leans into his hand, of course you may, come sit! I will always enjoy your presence
