#karikai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      there's a soft startlement as kai’s voice caresses kari’s ear. with the drag of her cigarette forgotten, she immediately turns to face him, heartbeat quickening as greys meet golds. she dips her head in a gentle bow shortly thereafter, an instinctual respect that only echoes in her voice. ❝ master overhaul. welcome back. ❞ she lifts her head once more, letting her gaze linger on the unmasked part of his face. no matter how close he was, sharing her world with him never quite felt real. ❝ i would appreciate it. ❞ extending an arm, she holds the cigarette packet out to him before resigning herself against the balcony. ❝ how are things? ❞
