@monburan &&. said... She's practicing with her newfound Pyro Vision, setting slimes aflame and such, when she feels a pair of eyes watching from afar. Heterochromatic hues scan the surrounding area, flickering across a figure in the distance. Moving to stand instead of kneel, she shoots the figure a glare, eyes alit by the glow of Pyro as a warning to all. Quit staring unless you have a death wish. ( from neo !! )

it's  a  bit  like  watching  someone  crush  an  ant  colony  beneath  a  merciless  heel.  (  ironic;  that's  usually  his  doing.  )  the  slimes  are  utterly  helpless  against  the  flames,  with  nary  a  thought  running  through  their  empty  little  heads  beyond  a  feeble  attempt  to  BOUNCE  AWAY  in  self  preservation.  a  useless  effort;  the  fire  consumes  them  before  they  have  the  chance  to  escape  —  and  while  most  would  find  the  action  abhorrent,  ren  can't  help  but  admire  the  CRUELTY.  perhaps  it's  a  dark  reflection  of  empathy  at  work;  though  he  tries  to  live  while  keeping  predominantly  to  himself  these  days,  the  balladeer  certainly  wasn't  above  petty  acts  of  destruction  —  when  it  suited  him.  (  or  his  mood  was  foul  enough  to  necessitate  sharing  the  misery.  )  there's  a  sort  of  catharsis  to  be  found  in  dismantling  this  world  through  one's  own  POWER.  he  thinks  it  might  be  equivalent  to  what  gods  feel  when  they  toy  with  those  too  weak  to  stand  against  them.

he's  been  leaning  calmly  against  a  tree  when  she  turns  her  attention  on  him.  the  wanderer  seems  unperturbed  by  the  nasty  look  she  shoots  his  way  —  though  it's  hard  to  take  most  THREATS  seriously  when  he  knows  there's  no  physical  damage  he  can't  simply  walk  away  from.  (  given  enough  time  for  his  healing  factor  to  kick  in.  )  ❝  talk  about  a  scary  expression.  ❞  ren  still  can't  help  the  urge  to  get  a  little  jab  in.  ❝  i'm  not  as  much  of  a  PUSHOVER  as  those  slimes  you've  been  terrorizing;  this  is  one  fight  you  don't  want  to  pick.  ❞   he  waves  his  hand,  his  own  eyes  flickering  a  brief  (  anemo  )  blue.  a  gust  of  wind  sweeps  over  their  surroundings,  putting  out  what  fires  still  sizzle  away  in  the  grass.

❝  if  i  meant  you  any  harm,  ❞  the  wanderer  continues,   ❝  don't  you  think  i  would  have  made  my  move  while  you  were  DISTRACTED?  i'm  just  appreciating  your  handiwork.  ❞  he's  always  found  it's  easier  to  make  statements  of  fact  than  implore  a  complete  STRANGER  to  trust  him.   ❝  although ...  aren't  you  getting  bored  messing  around  with  these  small  fry?  if  you  really  want  to  test  your  strength,  why  don't  you  try  killing  something  a  little  more  IMPRESSIVE?  ❞

staaaaaaaaaaare. she's just. staring. (kyoka-chan <3)

kiss meme || accepting.

42. A clumsy kiss

the sun has just barely began to creep in through frosted windows, ai was used to being up at this time ( if not earlier, even ) ... march, on the other hand, was still sound asleep. gentle smile makes way to the former idols features as she looks at her - brushing aside a strand of loose hair on her face.

how cute...

she nearly giggles aloud, but stops herself so that she doesn't wake the other girl - though it seems that she begins to stir awake on her own...

❝ good morning, sleepyhead. ❞

ai speaks in a soft voice to the other girl, twirling a strand of her pink locks within her fingers. she leans in ever closer... eventually placing a small kiss on her lips. it's done in a haphazard manner, her lips slightly off center from the other girls... a clumsy, sleepy morning kiss.

...there were worse ways to be woken up, she imagines.
