6th Dusting

[Action]

[Out tonight. On roofs, over buildings, watching. Looking - it's gotten colder so now's in in a coat and all, but ... restless. Back from the mission on the second, slow to give Summers back the scythe. Slower still to calm down after all that fighting. Winged bastards. Her own wings twitch in the night air- she can still see her breath in the air too. Ridiculous. See her all over town tonight looking around for something that needs protecting or watching. A patrol, in other words.

This is complicated at about midnight. A bizarre feeling strikes her she can't pinpoint he origin of. A great sense of loneliness and need to belong. It's from that moment that she decide to first go to the item shop late at night - either breaking in or walking in depending on if it's open - and seeing if she can find some piercing studs. From there, to the Smithy - see if anyone's there, and if no one else (and given this late hour she doubts anyone is) admiring that's in the windows before shaking her head and walking back to her apartment. The next morning, this appears on the journals:]

Anyone know if you can pierce these hokum wings? They heal it up or infect?

[ oh. she knows. she was just...awkwardly relieved for you to be okay, melaka. she has lots of feelings. complicated ones. ]

So, does that mean...?

[This cutlass should do. He offers the hilt to his back, allowing his tail to wrap around the hilt and hold it erect.]

Are you used to something better?

Then try a different approach. If people can't figure out what you're talking about, we can't answer your question.

...Well, are you -- would you -- would it be so crazy to maybe...

[ being aware of how very theirs the scythe is, it makes it tough to ask. ] Bring it back?

So I'm kind of wasting your time here, huh? Sorry.

[Well. This cutlass is going to work. He's busy slashing it about behind him.]

Thought so. The hair looked familiar.

Not that...not that I wasn't happy to hand it over. You gotta...

[ she trips over her sentiment. it had been such a warm, fulfilling sensation to pass the scythe into the other slayer's hands. something beyond an equal exchange for the sweet little earrings. a gift of grace -- a piece of her handed freely over with care and respect and due ceremony. what was grace if not an ounce of charisma, carefully carved out of a social norm? there had been an electric connection in those moments. something perfectly acceptable and alright.

maybe this awkward feeling now was the fear that melaka wasn't feeling the same way. wasn't feeling the mutual ownership. the, if you will, shared stake in the scythe's destiny. ]

[w h a t] Hey- Hold on!

[personal profile] bamfing 2011-12-16 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Is something wrong?

[Well, in Luceti, that's kind of a dumb question. But he means beyond the usual.]

It's easier to hold a conversation with you without that mask, Melaka.
