@crimrosed        ،̲،̲              “i could say the exact same thing about you.   guess we’re in the same boat.”

"⠀that's quite odd,   but i respect it nonetheless.⠀"

@crimrosed        ،،̲               “just certain promises,   like yourself.   i have nothing left to lose.”      he replies,   eyes narrowing.

@crimrosed        ،̲،̲              “i know you wouldn’t have done anything.”      perhaps that was his naivety speaking,   but there was some prospect of where ichinomiya began to slowly trust deune despite their differences.       “pleased?   well,   i’m glad to hear it..   not that it was my intention.”      eyes light up from the word ‘foe’,   returning back to his typically tense exterior.   moving to get up but immediately sits bsck down as the vampire instructs,      “what are you gonna do?”  

"⠀even when you're freshly wounded,   you decided to come here knowing i'm a vampire.   i do wonder why you've chosen to trust me this time,   but..⠀" ⠀ honestly,    it was usually difficult for vampires with a blood addiction,   especially like his type.   still,   the prospect of hurting others prevailed in the depths of his mind,   he truly doesn't like the idea of it. ⠀ "⠀i'm pleased.⠀" ⠀ he admits,   but he rose his brows both by his comment and─┄.. ⠀ "⠀looks like your foes have arrived already.⠀" ⠀ his gaze flickers by the door,   deune assumes they must have trailed this human's scent when he got injured. ⠀ "⠀how bothersome...   i'll handle it,   wait for me.   (...)   no need to be stubborn,   you are in no condition of fighting.    you must replenish your energy,   so rest in the meantime.⠀" ⠀ after his statement he stood up from his seat and went over the entryway.

@crimrosed       ،،̲               “rather sweet of you,   really.”      he muses,   a singular brow quirking up for a moment.      “we just weren’t meeting eye to eye.   did i tell you that some of your kind are really not open to criticism?   (…)      well,   it honestly might have been my fault.”      ichinomiya hums,   trying to mask the flustered state he was in.   looking away for a moment,      “but anyways,   i have to be bold.   it’s what you have to do in this line of work.”

@crimrosed         ،̲،̲             “it seems like overkill to feel blessed by it.   except if that’s how you feel,   i won’t stop you.”

"⠀oh...?   'maybe'?⠀" ⠀ rousing a soft chiming laughter,   it rumbles lightly above the sound of his lips.   more so amused he even considered it for a mere fraction. ⠀ "⠀should i feel blessed about that?  at least you're trying.⠀"

@crimrosed       ،،̲               “it’s hard for me to forget.”      his eyes narrow,    frown settling on his lips   (almost pouting).   after another second,   his mouth opens to speak again,      “right.   except that i’m starting to think that maybe,   i’ve just been a bit unfair to you.”

@crimrosed        ،̲،̲                “no,   no—      it’s just dust that’s been collecting..”      he trails off.   looking away,   closing his eyes from the forceful shuffle before lightly batting away his hand.      “you’re gonna make me dizzy stop it—!”

has it already started?  it was quicker than he thought, ⠀ "⠀speak of the devil.   looks like you've caught it.⠀" ⠀ the vampire saunters over,   and the towel atop the bourreau's head is casually shuffled over his dark locks to dry it off.    he can already sense the increase of his body heat.

@crimrosed       ،،̲                “i won’t be getting a fever,   i never get—   uh..   ACHOO!”      he sneezes once more,   a hand going to cover his nose again.   quickly reaching out,   grasping the towel and putting it atop of his head.      “i can’t be getting sick right now.”

∗     its my turn neow hehehe

                    everything has a risk,  you just have to be willing to take it.   [   adara replies,  carefully adding a drop of the purple substance into the blue flask.   ]   mm   (…)   with the gemstones,  you use an assortment of them,  i can hand you the measurements later.  although this one is dangerous,  it can cause a horrific explosion if your not careful.   oh right,  you should—   [   offering a once over,  adara would snap her fingers  (as usual)  and a coat and goggles would fit comfortably on the other’s face and figure.   ]

                    alchemy,  while it was popular in the akademiya they never really taught things that were,  out of the ordinary.  i suppose.   [   she merely shrugs,  shifting a seat away  so that the other could stand next to her.   ]   it’s a teleportation potion,  it’s if you don’t encounter a waypoint.  a necessary precaution,  in my opinion. 

@avidyest 
                    you’d be surprised.   [   a bit of an embarrassed look crosses her expression,   ]   the first time i tried it,  it felt like my tongue became numb to everything.   [   adara’s cheeks flushed,  clearing her throat.   ]   i’d love that,  it’s been awhile since i’ve eaten anything else than the food from here.

a chortle bellows. ⠀ “⠀now that's just being dramatic,   they won't even try?   it's like they're scared of flavours.⠀” ⠀ after slumping back to his chair,   one was suddenly stricken with interest. ⠀ “⠀it's not that bad but..   a meal from you would be nice.   also,   i can definitely whip up something for you as well,   i've been told i'm a good cook.⠀”

@avidyest 
                    if it’s too spicy,  it’s inedible to some here.   [   a laugh escapes,  waving off her comment although it was true.   ]   if it’s bad,  i can make something next time.  i’ve learned a thing or two since my trip to inazuma recently.

hey,  now...   [   the samurai gave a light pout as he lifted his arms to fold them across his chest.   ]   i asked you first.  don't turn the question back on me...  at least,  not until you answer it yourself.  it's only fair.   [   and then his expression gave way to a much more...  serious one.   ]

@rebelledson 
                      it’s just unusual.  it’s unlike you,   [   adara replies,  her eyes flickering over to okigo for a moment.   ]   i   (…)   could ask you the same thing,  do you love me,  okigo?  

what?  am i not allowed to ask that sort of thing?
