        the water felt cool and slippery against kida’s skin as she drifted, white hair splayed behind her to swirl lazily in the slight current made by the soft treading of limbs. her eyes closed, she let the sun beat upon her skin as laughter drifted faintly from elsewhere in the small park. she felt lucky to have found this spot, completely clear of anyone else, shaded partly by overhanging branches while also leaving areas of radiant sunlight to bask in. kida felt content, listening to the faint swish of leaves from the trees and the sighing of the wind through the grass. every lazy movement of her hand left droplets of water scattering across her arms to glide back into the pool or evaporate in the heat. her thoughts were as slow and syrupy as the sunlight cascading down in golden beams, and only warrior instincts instilled by a thousand fights allowed her to notice the presence of another.

    lifting her head just enough to let water stream from her hair, kida turned towards the faint noise of approach, eyes sharply scanning the pond’s bank before focusing on the approaching figure, allowing her muscles to relax once more and her head to fall back upon seeing the other woman.

“You’re different.” dante comments, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. it may be his expertise on dealing with monsters, or his overall experience in dealing with those who aren’t quite human. after all he isn’t really human --- at least, he doesn’t consider himself one.

       @oceansborne​ SENT—    “   ❛ Then why are you still here? ❜   ” 

        HIS GAZE FELL UPON HER, sprawled on the ground in the wake of her misfortune, noting in particular the defiance in her eyes--- before he averted his own once again, as if bored of her. quite the contrary, in fact.

             ❝  ... curiosity.  ❞ pure and simple; it did not taste a lie to say as much.

        of late he had begun to acknowledge an organic intrigue in the world and different manner of existences around him, as much as it still pained him to admit. he had never truly taken the time to do so prior to his arrival in this place, but then, he had never truly cared either. humanity was predictable, uncomplicated--- nothing they had to offer ever once peaked his interest. perhaps the occasional brave soul with an impressive armory and some experience with his ilk, but they were few and far between.

                                                                  ... there was nothing more to it, really.

        shortly following his answer however, azrael angled toward her, and, albeit reluctantly, extended a hand for her to take... but not without remarking.
