❝ You told me that my parents were in the Celestial Realm, ❞ the boy's tone is quiet yet scarily level, expression cast as his hands are tensed into fists at his side. It's clear; there's anger, something that at this capacity is practically alien around the Monkey King. Then again, how else is one supposed to react when they've been lied to about people so important to them? And... from someone so IMPORTANT. ❝ Why did you lie to me? ❞ / hi

   this is the thanks i get for working overtime ? // @samadhifire​​​

       he blinks as he was asked the question. his heart beat began to race as he thought about what to say. after all... it wasn’t like he was a good liar -- or that he ever MEANT to lie in the first place... then again, he shouldn’t have expected that the demon bull family wouldn’t have reunited with their son.

      ❝ well, to be honest... i really didn’t think we’d end up in this scenario. ❞ he says, rubbing the back of his head. he clears his throat, inhaling a bit... this wasn’t good... this made him look bad, huh ? it wasn’t like this happened with ill intentions, but -- there was definitely a better choice that he could have made...

   april’s  spent  so  long  watching  others  imbibe  their  preferred  spirits,  she  forgot  what  it’s  like  to  enjoy  some  of  her  own   -----   okay,  a  lot  of  her  own.  though  perhaps  she’s  most  potently  drunk  on  the  sensation  of  being  seen,  and  more  dizzying,  being  understood.  in  a  way,  she  knows  this  to  be  sadly  short  lived  ;  what  human  wants  to  spend  too  much  time  with  a  ghost  trapped  the  same  shabby  home  ?  he’ll  grow  out  of  it,  grow  older,  and  she’ll  go  back  to  being  invisible. 

 the  notion  pains  her  beyond  measure,  but  she  tries  to  keep  focus  in  the  moment.  drew’s  here,  he’s  seemingly  enjoying  himself,  and  they’re  swapping  secrets  in  the  safety  of  their  own  world.  even  if  this  is  doomed,  she’ll  take  a  glimpse  of  pure  happiness  for  now. 

 “  i,  uh,  honestly  never  thought  about  it  much  when  i  was  alive.  i  was  young,  i  partied  a  lot,  it  . . .  i  wasn’t  really  ready  for  it,  ”  april  shrugs,  recalling  her  time  spent  more  engaged  in  physical  intimacy  rather  than  emotional.
