Shikon fashion .

@shikon Said: 🌨️ : how does your muse react to snow? do they want to stay huddled up inside where it's warm, or do they want to go out and play in it? ( this is too cute not to ask )

headcanons, volume one.

"Keh. Play in it? I'm not a kid."

There had been times he'd rolled around in snow when he was fully certain no one was looking. The silk of his suikan was naturally heated, and insulated. Now that he was an adult, it meant getting overheated easily in summer, and in winter... maybe it felt nice to lay against the damp, cold snow.

But that was his secret.

"...I like it, though. The snow. Always surprises everyone that the snow doesn't bother my feet, 'cause ain't nothin' gonna make me wear shoes. Those things are foot prisons. I'm just... used to them feelin' numb, I guess." There was something softer, more pensive in those golden eyes now that he was reflecting back on the winter.

"The cold kinda reminds you you're alive, without immediately killin' ya like the summer heat. When it snows, I like walking around. Feeling the way the world's changed. Sometimes I start choking on the air when it snows, 'cause it's so full of moisture. It's like breathing in water without actually being in water. Doesn't happen often, so it's not a big deal. Smell of water's everywhere. Kinda like the snow's cleaning everything, even though we both know it's actually killing everything."

A slow, deep inhale was taken in through his nose.

"Keh... kinda fits. A hanyō like me was born in the late winter."

When everything, and everyone is suffering the most.

A white snake with silverish patterns slithered around the Higurashi compounds quietly. It's the unusual patterning wasn't enough, the light blue gem should also be clue enough that this snake wasn't ordinary. Tongue kept sticking out to detect any abnormalities in the air. What he could tell initially was that there was a lot of spirituality surrounding the premises... which made sense given that even he could tell that this was a shrine.

What he couldn't understand is why he could smell the scent of their youngest around here. What would she have been doing around here, when she should've known how dangerous it could be? Many shrines would not react well to a Demon, much less a young kit like herself.

Tamako was nearby conducting her own search, probably in the nearest park looking for their youngest who had snuck out. Something about how she wasn't allowed to have her favorite snack, so she'd run away... again. One would think she'd learned her lesson, but with how young she was, her memory was rather... short.

The snake paused in its tracks and coiled it's body in a circle- a defensive maneuver to ready all it's muscles to either spring away to safety or to strike. It seemed that one of the humans here at the shrine had caught sight of him. Perhaps not that difficult as he was slithering around in the light dusting of snow. He hoped nothing bad would come of this encounter, as he couldn't waste too much time.

A low warning hiss as he locks eyes with a young human woman.
