Eyes snapping up to meet the photographer’s gaze Minki’s head tilted slightly to the side as the human’s request reached his ears. The witch didn’t even have to speak, his manager’s stammering words half a second later explaining that the model didn’t do shoots that required physical contact as per his contract. Despite that being completely true Minki rose a hand to slowly wave his manager away from the photographer, a blood chilling smile forming on his features.

“I can allow it this once I’m sure.” His clothing was thick enough he supposed, he’d be well aware of the contact before it happened too, it wouldn’t be too infuriating. Still, it was going to end in blood one way or another. Minki had rules, after all; he had a contract. For those who demanded more than what was in his contract, well they had to be willing to pay the hefty price that came with it. “I suggest you keep your touch rather light. For both of our comfort.” The witch mused softly to the female next to him, his unblinking eyes still trained on the man behind the camera.

He’d made a mistake, the biggest one he could have possibly have made; he let Hongbin out of his sight. It wasn’t something he thought would be a problem, no matter how long he was away the familiar could take care of himself. At least, that was what he thought until halfway through a photoshoot he felt it. Pain. For the first time in his life, he felt the sensation that made him collapse against the floor, screaming and writhing. He felt things similar, when his magic built up within his body too much it felt similar, but it was nothing to this extent. The only thing he could think to do was strike out at the humans in the room, his magic lashing at anything around him, but no matter how much he screamed, no matter how much blood was shed, the pain never went away. 

Minki didn’t know how long he was laying there just crying, body shaking from the feeling he couldn’t stop. His brain nearly couldn’t cope, the witch almost broke completely from the continuous agony he was forced to experience. He couldn’t figure out a cause until it finally clicked in his mind, panic quickly shifting to anger. Hongbin. Someone had his familiar, someone was hurting him, and even worse, they were hurting Minki as well. Forcing himself up the blood mage’s tears were slow to dry, but it was becoming easier and easier to tolerate the pain. Finding the familiar was the hard part, especially when he started hurting more and more the closer he got. The witch never stayed very inconspicuous, but wherever he walked he was leaving a trail of bodies behind, lashing out at whoever crossed his path as he tried to cope with the searing pain radiating through his body. When Minki finally tracked down where Hongbin was, he stumbled in through the door, hazy eyes instantly zeroing in on the stranger hovering too close to his familiar. 

“Yes, I know... I already promised I wouldn’t wander out again without protection, what more do you want from me?” Walking alone through the empty streets the witch had been lost for a good hour or so already, not that he was truly worried about it. He came out for his fun anyway, and whether his manager wanted him safe at home or not didn’t matter. “Have I ever not listened to directions before?” Movement drew the male’s eye, head tilting as he caught sight of another person. Even better, they seemed rather interesting. Maybe it was just his lucky day. Without another word Minki was hanging up, an unnerving smile tugging at his lips as he strode towards the stranger.

The witch was always wandering down these dark paths, knowing danger would find him eventually only for him to get to have his fun. It became more of a habit than anything else, so even as he was walking home with his favorite human by his side he naturally chose the questionable paths he always took. He didn’t even really notice he was doing it, not until he became aware of three men creeping up on them. Minki maintained his smile as he kept talking, knowing that neither he or Mingyu would be in any danger, he’d keep them safe. Still, he didn’t give a single warning, even as he felt them getting closer and closer, rushing in at the last moment and pushing the two against the wall, pulling their hands back. 

They were yelling for money, threatening injuries, death, worse. The witch didn’t even attempt to look frightened, smiling ever so sweetly at their captors. That was until they seemed to catch on that Mingyu was a better one to threaten, turning him around to face the two as the third continued to hold Minki. 

He always loved wandering in the worst parts of town, despite his manager pleading for him to just stay in his home, or at the very least take a bodyguard with him. With growing popularity, his manager was worried about fans, but Minki loved the attention, and besides, how would he be able to pick out someone his Mama wanted if a bodyguard was with him? His first run in didn’t take him long, but his clothes already had countless holes and cuts from the encounter. While he could pass on his injuries, sadly his clothes didn’t have the same ability. Even covered in his victim’s blood Minki didn’t want to end the night just yet. The witch was walking down another dark street, a bounce in his step and a happy mood that had him twirling excitedly every few steps. 

“That was great, wasn’t it, Mama? But I think you deserve a little better that that guy, so we’ll keep going until I’m happy with my presents for you. I’ll get it perfect just for yo- wait where are you going?” He whined, his smile turning into a pout as the dark mist next to him vanished out of sight. Confused, the mage looked around, spotting Yasmine which brought another smile to his face before he skipped over to the stranger, leaning too close into her personal space.
