Bridges are Burning

“Well, let’s see... How d’you react when I do this?”

He then pets and ruffles their head akin to how one would a cat. And, as per usual, their reaction to said affection seem pretty cat-like to him.

Ever since the witch had made it clear that she was more than happy to help satisfy their familiar’s built up lust and stress, he’s been slowly allowing himself to let go of his personal restraints or embarrassment. Early on, he may have covered his mouth or grabbed onto something to keep himself steady.

“I...”

          “   you’ve got some damn nerve, adam.   ”          they’re clearly becoming   MUCH   more flustered.

            a moment is taken to turn away some, lips curled into a small   POUT.          “   that’s a rather   bold   thing of you to say.   ”

          “     if i   am   a fool, surely you’re the   KING   of dumbasses.   ”          a little playful jest towards him, nothing more than what adam should be accustomed to from kinu by now.

“Yeah, that sounds about right.” He’s maybe half joking in admittance to that.

                    once  more  she  almost  mirrors  his  shift  of  posture  ,  arms  unfurling  to  rest  her  hands  upon  her  hips   &   repositioning  her  weight  to  the  opposing  side  .        her  eyes  finally  revert  to  their  default  state  ,  sharpness  still  retained  to  make  her  at  least  SOMEWHAT  imposing  .        kinu  had  figured  yami  would  deny  her  request  to  some  degree  ,  still  expressing  displeasure  from  it  with  a  click  of  her  tongue   &   eyebrows  furrowing  subtly  .                    “     well  ,  if  you  won’t  let  me  go  ,  what  are  you  going  to  do  with  me  ,  then  ?        put  on  another  tentacle  puppet  show  ?        skewer  me  with  them  ?        dismember  me  ?        if  you’re  going  to  waste  my  time  ,  you  better  make  it  WORTH  IT  .     ”

While he managed to get his initial guess about the whole vampire thing from context clues, aside from that, he really didn’t get the best look at her. Thus, he starts pacing around her, eyes locked onto her with curiosity as he takes in every detail he can get.

                    she  almost  mirror’s  yami’s  movements  as  he  shifted  a  pinch  more  comfortably  ,  her  weight  repositioned  whilst  her  arms  cross  upon  her  chest  .        despite  doing  so  ,  ANNOYANCE  is  clear  upon  her   &   grows  the  longer  he  kept  kinu  standing  around   &   in  her  presence  .        the  manifestation  of  the  appendages  ,  then  how  they  transform  to  visualize  his  narration     ———     even  the  slight  JAB  ,  they  barely  warrant  a  reaction  ,  even  with  how  snappy  the  nocturna  had  grown  .        finally  emitting  a  sigh  ,  she  gives  some  response  ,                    “     alright  ,  YOU  SLIMY  FUCK  ,  can  i  leave  now  ?     ”

With the end of his flashy little display of whatever the fuck that was, his stance then becomes one of the natural poses you’d expect from any tall asshole. Hunched over, hands in his pockets, looking like a complete tool.

                    when  the  sound  of  an  outsider’s  voice  interrupts     ———     what  she  THOUGHT  was  a  private  feeding  session  ,  an  immediate  HISS  emits  from  the  vampire  .          finding  herself  already  so  annoyed  ,  kinu  opts  to  allow  her  fleeing  meal  to  escape  ,  seeing  she  was  in  no  state  of  mind  to  partake  in  proper  body  disposal  .        she  shoots  daggers  at  the  former  once  they’d  been  alone  ,  oculi  still  swirling  completely  crimson  .                    “     if  i’m  the  bat  bitch  here  ,  what  the  FUCK  are  you  supposed  to  be  ?     ”

“Huh. Y’know, that’s a good question.” Says with a mocking pose that looks like he’s thinking really hard while tapping his boot. “Hmm... Now what could I be? Maybe--an octopus?” He says, before all too casually shifting to grow tentacles out of his back. “Or maybe a bird?” Then they’re wings. “What about a better bat?” Then they’re bat wings.

                    kinu  doesn’t  hesitate  to  return  his  embrace  the  moment  she  was  enveloped  in  his  arms  ,  though  with  sleepiness  still  tugging  at  her  ,  she  is  a  pinch  slow  to  carry  out  nuzzling  into  him  .                    “     you’re  not  as  close  to  immortality  as  me  ,  so  you  need  to  be  more  careful  .     ”                    there’s  no  elaboration  or  otherwise  further  speaking     ———     the  stern  incantation  of  her  words  was  enough  .

“I know, I know.” While a bit tired sounding, there was still the effort made to reassure her, along with an added head pat. “But, I mean, its basically the same thing. I just gotta avoid, like, two very specific things and I’ll be good.” Casual and lax as ever.
