Send a Candy, get a treat!Â
Itwas her first time at Aogiri for Halloween, and she seemed absolutelydown. Not that he could blame her; she had come to them out ofnecessity, biting back pride to try and find somewhere, somehow tobelong. Before, she had much more than most other ghouls. She hadbeen lucky. But the world was cruel.
Andhe both empathized with and pitied her.
âIknow you are still nervous about being seen, but you should get outsome. Come with me.â He had two shopping bags; one full of candy,and the others full of his specialty 'candy' for ghoul children.Sweets made out of body parts. Things to mimic normal human treats,wrapped in orange and purple and black plastic. âI'm going out to aneighborhood where ghoulsgather their children. Sometimes we have humans come by, but it'smostly a quieted-up movement. I try to do it every year.âAdmittedly, it was somewhat humiliating to admit such a soft spot toa subordinate, but he was feeling kinder tonight.
Thelook that he received from Kuroha was full of question, confusion,suspicionâŚ.a whole handful of things. As if she couldn't wrap herhead around what he had just said.
âAndyou're inviting me.â
âYes.Do I have to order you to come with me then?â
âNo.But I don't have a costume.â She turned her head away from him,back to whatever work she was busying her with from before.
Tatara,a hint of irritation creeping into his voice, reached a hand down andtugged at the baggy fabric of his 'costume'; a set of full-bodypajamas fashioned in the shape of a dragon, complete with a hood withhorns perched on top. âThis is hardly a costume, if you throw on alab-coat that's a bit torn up you could be a mad scientist. You needto get out.â
Shelooked up at him again, eyes steady and hovering on his figure, hisface, his costume. And slowly her expression changed to one halfwayof defeat, halfway to thanks. âOkay, fine. But only if I can haveone of your treats. They smell good.â
Hedidn't give a verbal response, only offered her a wrapped 'pastry'.His pleased, hidden smiletouched his eyes.
