@deludingsâ  âşÂ  â aw , s ' not you &. the big guy , huh ? â gemstone feigns child - like disappointment ' pon tonality , simper sitting pretty on lips &. elbow nudging at fox ' s shoulder in an all too playful manner. â &. here i was looking forward to seeing you all bruised up , hot shot. â  âşÂ  unscripted.
â  psht, âcourse itâs not me, em. cocoâs incredible.  â  he could tell she was coming from a mile away, one of the sharpest auras refined to his â sight â because of how long theyâd known one another. sheâd been but a blur all those summers ago, thrilling the wastes - born child with daring city chases for food, trinkets or the like. theyâd been similar, cut of the same cloth these poor vacuoan children, left to rot under the neglectful eye of adults and still surviving despite it all. finding her in beacon after all these years apart was a surprising coincidence, heâd put it up to something else if he believed in any fate nonsense. he shouldnât have recognised her, her voice was different after all, but his aura recognised her own. even after all this time, fox would treasure those that kept coming back into his life, no matter the circumstances. letting go so many times would do that to a person, blind them to everything that had torn them apart so long as fox didnât have to see another person he cared about leave.
not that he would ever admit he cared, sheâd used that against him somehow in a relentless taunt.
â  âsides, donât want all of remnant to know what i can do.  â  fox had never been one for the limelight, and confident as he was, his semblance had always been one of his only insecurities. advantageous ? yes. life changing ? absolutely. but did it still prove to alienate him from other people despite the fact that it relied on other people to work ? of course ! there were so many who wanted to have his semblance, but so few who wanted to stay after they found out what it was. emerald had accepted what he could do, and for that he was grateful, ready to welcome her back into his life with open arms. vulpine grin preceded warm, rich laughter, returning playful nudge with small hip check in return.  â  i bet yâ would. also know youâre used to gettinâ what you want by batting those pretty eyes of yours.  â  demeanour smug, goading, barely concealed affection beneath the curve of scarred lips.  â  you afraid of just hurtinâ me yourself, sustrai ? why donât yâ fight me right now ? donât wanna damage this handsome face ?  â
