she's very much the type of person to rip someone's jugular out for touching her, so it was difficult for her to understand why she became so comfortable not only touching someone else but laying with her head on their shoulder long enough to feel the muscles in her body ease and to actually become relaxed. gekkabijin came to a conclusion the night before, so when she enters one of the many common areas in the mbcc she sits as furthest as she can be from che, even opting to sit on the floor with her legs crossed in a basket. / @ohdiscity

sitting with one leg crossed over the other, serpent lifts her head once seeing a dark blur from the corner of her eye and her delicate countenance brightens. ❝ nox! my dear, won't you come and sit with me for a while? ❞ she was just beginning to grow irritatingly bored. / @ohdiscity

receiving a request to accept a last-minute emergency mission, bai yi didn't think twice about accepting and returning the paperwork to nightingale. the list of sinners requested was already on the paperwork bai yi skimmed over, and she memorised the list of names. they'd be her partners, after all. only, when she shows up to the meet-up point out in the yard, she's surprised to hear from hella that demon wouldn't be able to attend the mission due to an injury from his last one. before she can begin to wonder who would take his place the chief strolls over with someone quite familiar by her side, immediately gaining the attention of the gathered sinners. a brow quirks as chief explains the situation with demon and that cinnabar, a former security supervisor, would be taking his place. when the explanation comes to an end and the chief turns to begin to handle the transportation, bai yi slides up to cinnabar's side, lower arm sneakily resting on the woman's shoulder, her chin planting firmly on said arm. ❝ it's a real bummer to hear about demon, ❞ bai hums, being a little too close for comfort and knowing it, ❝ but you'll protect me, right cinnabar~? ❞ / @ohdiscity

as expected, she gets moaned at for a minute or so while the others collect their barrings and join the two women, watching the scenario play out before them to get a better idea as to why serpent almost jeopardized the mission. while she gets called out serpent stands with a loving smile, unnatural, reptile-like hues gazing down at the younger sinner with gratitude. thank goodness she was alright. when silence finally falls once more a pale hand outstretches, sharp, black nails gracing over mess' cheeks, brushing back amethyst bangs. ❝ i know, ❞ she admits quietly, quickly wrapping both arms around her, bringing her in close, one hand securely around her shoulders and the other around her head, fingers gingerly patting her as her head lay upon her chest. leaning down, serpent presses her cheek against the pretty bow atop mess' head and lets out a sigh of relief. ❝ i just wanted the fighting to be over so i could hug you again! ❞
