"Kujaku" •RWBY•

Nora groans in her sleep, flipping around only to sink deeper under her duvet, "Keep it down," she grumbles.

Suzume giggles once more before crouching down and reaching her hand towards Nora's head. She caresses her soft, ginger locks, allowing the girl to lean into her touch.

"It's fine if you wanna oversleep, but today is the day we head out for Beacon," she assures, her smile becoming more earnest when Nora cracks her eyes open. She bolts up from her resting spot, throwing the covers off her legs.

"Then what are we waiting for!?" she exclaims earning a grunt from the boy laying on the futon to the left. He seems to curl in on himself, not wanting to accept the time of day. Michael internally rolls his eyes and crosses his arms.

"They better get up. You have a week's travel if you wanna get to the airships on time," The god scolds, and Suzume furrows her eyebrows at his comment. She doesn't disagree with the fact as it was discussed heavily over dinner last night. With that in mind, she goes to wake up Ren next.

He isn't as stubborn as Nora, but that doesn't mean he wants to get up in the morning either. Then as Suzume tries to coax his eyes open, Ren eases the duvet off his shoulders but doesn't sit up. He instead sports a small simper, playfully plastering it on his pale white face. Suzume sticks out her tongue yet still complies. She sets her hand on Ren's forehead and sweeps his bangs to the right, gently patting down any strands of bedhead.

When Suzume stops her coddling, Ren peaks a fuchsia eye open and stares at the female, "Morning," he greets then brings himself up.

"Brat..." Michael seethes within Suzume's mind, which she promptly ignores. The god's emotions sizzle on her tongue and just below the surface of her skin. It dares to mix with her rousing rhythm, but she doesn't let it - having been already used to the overwhelming feeling.

Suzume shakes her head before standing up, "Ohayo," she responds and picks up her clothes. Nora had already left the room, presumably headed for the bathroom. Ren is folding his futon by the time the bluenette slides open the shoji, and she grins back at the black-haired boy, "An adventure awaits!" she goes out of their room, guiding her way to the bathroom.

Suzume comes out of the washroom sporting a short, peafowl kimono. She adjusts the string of her obijime, bringing the obidome accessory to the middle of her golden obi. The obi-age is jade green with the edges being folded as the ohashori has a lighter shade of golden. The silk is layered, the piece under the obi starting as blue-green and fading into a muted blue, as the kimono sits below that with blots of peacock feathers. The base color is dark blue, and the muted blue lines the bottom edge of the kimono. Lastly, Suzume fixes her white haneri, and then carefully pats down the hair near her kanzashi. It has the same theme as her kimono, the accessory having folds of golden, blue, and green fabric. Some beads hug the clip and sit atop her hair along with blue feathers that stick out behind the folds.

She grins down at her black geta, enjoying the dark blue straps that surround the mantis-green stockings she has lifted just below her knees. Suzume doesn't mind how the kimono stops at her mid-thigh, finding it easier for maneuverability when in combat. She deems the outfit as cute, especially as her knee ornaments jingle as they collide.

When done admiring her handiwork, the bluenette makes her way to the kitchen. She walks through the doorframe to see her mother pouring milk into a glass cup. Ren and Nora are at the table, the ginger impatiently waiting while the ravenette is trying to keep her still.

Suzume turns to her mother and smiles, "Ohayo, Mama," she briefly hugs the older woman then walks to the dining room and takes a seat.

"Ohayo," the raven-haired woman says as she goes to the table as well and gives Nora the glass of milk. She sits at the head of the table, and as she does, Suzume and Ren clasp their hands at their chests.
