    "H-How is it, Shi-bell?" Vivian asks once Seox manages to take a bite out of the dessert she had prepared. It was supposed to be deep fried matcha ice cream. The kind she made, though, was first rolled into an odd, lumpy shape before being coated in raw egg whites, breaded in crushed pretzels, pushed through the freezer for two hours, deep fried, and then lathered with whip cream, which ended up being messily drizzled with some chocolate sauce on top. Instead of a cherry, however, a single strawberry slice was nestled over it.

( ｡ •`ᴖ´• ｡)

Six now has to face a very angy puffing danchou (of course he's not entirely mad at him really, just pouty).

"You twoooo...! Been dancing the waltz around the fact that you are completely inseparable...!"

He softens a little. "You're pree much living the domestic life now on my humble ship, being very cute and sweet and genuinely happy, of which I'm so glad you are, I really am. I'm glad that you two found solace in each other..."

The Engella had been on full power the whole day (despite being initially stuck, begrudgingly, at Amalthea Island for close to 4 hours), running errands for Siero in between. By the time it's dusk, the Captain had been way too eager to get the airship straight to Nalhegrande sky again, citing their final errand at Bestia Island before they can all take it easy.

(Half of the crew seemed to finally catch on that day, by the constant sour look on his face, that their dear Danchou isn't too fond of a certain Enforcer after...certain things had happened.)

Sase had been inside since they left for Bestia Island, but by then his cabin feels just a bit stuffy for him, so he decides to step out and finish his remaining logs up on the deck instead. He thought he would be alone for a while as everyone else seems to be resting in their respective cabin before they land.

Everyone, except one Jyutenshu.

And the Captain can't help but smile a little.

"Keh. You some kinda noble or somethin'?"

Even before his physique had grown more soft, to be without his haori on in autumn hadn't really brought cold. Maybe not full yōkai, but a hanyō's body naturally radiated more body heat no matter their size. Just that he felt as though he looked as sturdy as his body has always felt. Initial reflex was to reach for that haori, only for the scent to fully hit his nostrils.

This wasn't a human. Wasn't a yōkai, either. Sparked a hint of fascination.

"Somethin' tells me ya didn't come all the way out here lookin' for me."

An eyebrow was quirked, smirk light as the blustery winds of autumn pulled at Inuyasha's long, silver hair. Golden eyes were studying, glancing all over. The hanyō's hair had only just dried, he'd been using the river as a method of deep thought, and he hadn't any desire for his haori to get wet. Being the better day that it was for his emotional health, he didn't think much of how all he had on was his hakama. His curiosity was fully on a fellow man with animal like ears, a man who didn't have the scent of a hanyō.

"Nothin' chased ya off, did it? I've never smelled anything like you, but I can tell what ya aren't."

In casual manner, Inuyasha slipped his haori back on, arms raising as to pull his hair straight again. Legs had already been folded in proper manner. Now that he was fully dressed in his general attire, arms slipped into his sleeves, the depth of his curiosities hardly hidden in the way he was looking directly at this man's face.

"'Sides, if anyone tries startin' shit, I'll kick their asses for ya. 'S not really my style ta actually hurt someone, but if it comes down to it, 's no reason why ya can't give 'em a scare. Make 'em back off 'n learn they can't push ya around so easily."

Smirk widening slightly, one of the hanyō's fangs glinted in the rays of mid twilight sun. Maybe his mood was better than usual right now, the thoughts he'd worked through today had eased his mental state. It wasn't everyone who got such detailed curiosities so openly, though it wasn't the most uncommon occurrence these days, either. Better days meant he was more willing to talk to someone.

"Unless ya really did come lookin' for me for some reason."

A flick of his right ear, expression steadying into something more stoic. More neutral, hair pulled by another gust of wind. It's not like his name wasn't well known in Japan, even more so here. Protector of Kaede's Village, Demon Slayer, hell, this forest was aptly named 'The Forest of Inuyasha'.

"Got a yōkai problem or somethin'? I can survive on my own, ya don't gotta pay me nothin' ta take care of it if ya do."

"..."

He's still too careful, still afraid of assuming, and definitely still (instinctively) walking on eggshells with his entire crew. He knows what Six is about to ask him, or at least he thinks so. Still...

𓇻 ───

"Oh good, you're back! Welcome home! Ack--I mean back to the ship!" The last few words tumble out of his mouth clumsy like a runaway barrel. Welp. It's too late now so he'll have to commit! "I made some jasmine tea and some cookies if you'd like some. The town seems to be well stocked for someplace so out of the way!"

He gestures towards the table where the steam of the tea dances upward alongside the freshly made cookies. The kitchen was a place he considered as "home," the smell of scents always bringing back happy memories of his Zinkenstil.

"So alot of these Pokemon have moves that let them attack first! Speedy and powerful fits you. Arancaine and Zoroark look scary bit also snuggly due to their fur. Without your mask, you look very cuddly." Yes, that was him bullying and threatening you at the same time Seox. Though ypu know he'd hug you even with the mask on! The monster! "Mimikyu has an ability called Disguse that protects it from damage once, but once it's disguse is broken, it can be hit. You're also hard to hit in combat! Plus both of you like to hide yourselves so there is that too."
