genji is silent. that is a ninja’s duty, is it not? to be stealthy like the king’s mice .... but that cannot be all there is to it? of course not! there is so much more to being a ninja, genji ought to laugh in your face. to be a ninja you must have honor. you must protect yourself, and what is yours! your family! though he has been slain, he is back, alive! like a ghost who just can’t get enough! he allows cassidy to cup his face ---- rather, his lack of face. there’s faceplates now where his skin once was ... his poor human body, hidden. protected. cassidy can hear him take a breathe as he finally breaks this silence. “ i am not. ” he says sternly. he knows he is not as beautiful as he once was, but that was okay with him now. he doesn’t try to deny the fact he is no longer beautiful. his hands go to cassidy’s wrists, gently as if to show him there was no bad blood, putting them down. “ but i appreciate it. ”
@lunaeclipsis : Gently, cassidys hands cup genjis face -- thumbs rubbing over the robotics on him. "Yer as beautiful as the day I lost ya."
