(sike i lied im reopening the room)
02:00:53
I slowly awoke from my rest, still hunched over on the cold wooden flooring.
02:02:27
Yuna was already awake, having been closely watching me while I slept.
02:02:57
I slowly shuffled around, further waking myself up. I stretched out my arms with a soft yawn, reaching out a hand to pet Yuna.
02:03:38
"Good morning, Yuna."
02:03:49
there'd be a small, quiet poof in the room. the weird feeling of being watched strangely prominent in the cabin.
02:07:12
Yuna darted her head up, jumping to my shoulder.
02:07:45
She scanned around the room as I rose to my feet, stretching out a bit more.
02:07:59
(are you currently invisible?
02:08:09
(or did you appear inside the room somewhere?
02:08:16
(( appeared but camouflaged in.. whatever is the biggest shadow in the cabin? ))
02:12:01
(i see, thank you!
02:12:19
(good thing owls see in the dark >:3
02:12:33
Yuna scanned around the cabin before locking her gaze upon a stranger, hidden in a section of shadow cast by the rickety room.
02:13:36
I turned to face the stranger, now able to see him through Yuna.
02:13:59
"...Greetings, stranger."
02:14:19
"You may step out of that shadow, now."
02:14:28
the stranger sighs before his eyes would glow in the shadows, revealing where had been watching as he steps out the shadows a small bit to reveal himself as a kitsune shishi~.. took ya' long enough to finally wake up here..
02:18:48
"So you've been watching me, then?"
02:20:12
I kept my tone polite, and my voice soft.
02:20:27
me? watchin' like a creepy stalker? naaah.. couldn't be me in a million years!
the kitsune giggles playfully before eyeing the seer with curiosity. ..just wonderin' what this creepy lookin' place was, or what that deal with the rat earlier was from.. then there you were.. just sleepin' and dozin' off..
02:24:58
"I understand." I stepped forward a bit, Yuna continuing to eye you cautiously.
02:27:40
"You are a... kitsune. Am I correct?"
02:27:57
"It would explain the intense curiosity over this seemingly innocuous cabin."
02:29:00
the kitsune would give a small nod with a slight grin. yep! us kitsune folk and our curiosity~.. and speakin' of.. what's with the weird attire? and the owl?
02:30:58
"These are merely travelling clothes that suit my purposes as a Seer."
02:31:43
"And the owl is Yuna. She helps me."
02:32:12
"Mostly with seeing, as I can't see this world with my own eyes."
02:32:34
mm..
an ear perks up alongside with an eyebrow, the kitsune's curiosity increasing even more from the explanation. ..a seer?.. an owl that helps with seein'?.. can't see the world with your own eyes?.. as if I didn't have enough questions on my plate already 'bout this cabin..
02:36:21
"Well, I don't have anywhere to be."
02:37:54
"If you must sate your curiosity, then I would be happy to help you with that prospect."
02:38:16
I signaled Yuna to fly to the kitsune. She circled his head playfully, before landing right on top of it.
02:39:49
the kitsune would watch as the owl made its way to circle around his head.. before slightly jumping from feeling it land right on his head. mmh.. s-seemin' like you're awfully trustin' of someone that was watchin' ya' sleep.. what if I was secretly a mercenary and I had a hit on you? it wouldn't be lookin' so friendly!
02:45:04
"I would sense your harbored ill-will."
02:45:31
"As of now, I cannot detect any sign of malicious intent towards me or Yuna."
02:45:59
"Though, you are free to prove me wrong."
02:46:10
"Is that what you plan to do?"
02:46:22
shishi~.. I was just sayin' that could totally happen!..
he hold a finger up to his mouth with a mischievous grin. ..buut.. who knows~.. I surely wouldn't be so trustin' to others.. especially if I cannot see who I'm talkin' to!..
02:51:28
"Well, I -can- see you."
02:52:00
Yuna swung her head down, her eyes right in front of yours.
02:52:17
"Through her, I can see."
02:52:28
..well what if ya' didn't have the owl with you? I could totally just..
he moves a hand up to cover Yuna's eyes. ..and then it'd just be like havin' a blindfold all over again!
02:55:34
"Owl's are quite hard to catch, when they don't want you to catch them."
02:56:05
"And Yuna never leaves my side."
02:56:23
Yuna swung her head up, slipping her eyes out from behind your hand and flying back to my shoulder.
02:57:38
"I recommend you don't cover her eyes again. She doesn't much like it."
02:57:51
mm.. well.. wouldn't expect to see many people that love havin' their eyes covered..
The kitsune moves his arm back before going back to asking his questions of curiosity. ..but if she does leave your side, or somethin' bad happens to her.. what happens to you then?
03:01:26
"I will ensure nothing bad happens to her."
03:02:23
"And she won't leave my side. We are bound to eachother, in a sense."
03:02:38
"She cares for me, and I care for her."
03:04:02
The owl cooed, and I nodded as if I understood her.
03:04:22
I can see that.. but im figuratively speakin' here.. what would happen if somethin' happened to that owl?..
He points towards the owl. ..seems like its a bond that would leave things unstable if ya' lost her, which then leaves you defenseless.. wouldn't it be pretty hard to trust others knowin' that?
03:08:01
"You raise a fair point."
03:09:20
"I admit, things wouldn't fare well for either of us if either of us was taken from the other."
03:09:44
"But on the matter of trust, everyone may have it from me."
03:10:16
"It is up to them to betray that trust, if they so desire."
03:10:36
"Take the rat, from earlier."
03:10:41
"Nothing but hostility in it's mind."
03:10:50
"But I did not respond how one might think to."
03:11:00
"I nurtured what good laid inside it."
03:11:10
"Brought it to light."
03:11:14
"No longer did it wish any harm upon me."
03:11:41
shishi~.. such an innocent way of thinkin'.. not everyone in the world has good inside of 'em.. nor can they be brought out into the light.. best to always keep suspicion high and trust low if ya' wanna keep your skin~
03:16:31
"My way of thinking has served me fine, thus far. While I know that there are individuals who have... less than savory objectives, I will not allow myself to assume that of everyone."
03:17:28
"Lest I fall into a pit of suspicion and fear."
03:17:43
I nuzzled Yuna, continuing to speak. "And if things come to it, I will peer past the thing cloth hiding things unseen to the unburdened eye."
03:21:17
"I can see all that I must, if I must."
03:21:45
mm.. I wouldn't blame ya' considerin' your life's pretty much reliant on an owl..
He rest's his arms behind his head before curiously raising an eyebrow once again. ..and see all that you must? what do ya' mean by see things unburdened to the eye?
03:27:03
"The things that lie just past our reach, in our lives here."
03:27:35
"Beings, sights, sounds, a wide array of things we cannot see nor be among, usually."
03:29:09
"It's hard to explain, considering they don't exist within our bounds."
03:29:29
...seein' sight? sound?..
His arms move down into a shrug. sounds like a buncha' crazy seer talk to me..
03:32:30
"...Would you like to experience it?"
03:33:25
..huh? experience it?
03:34:37
"I can allow you sight past the curtain, if you so desire."
03:35:21
"Not for long, mind you."
03:35:27
well.. ya' got the kitsune curious.. only one way to satisfy the curiosity..
03:36:43
I held out a hand. A warm, small smile crossed my face.
03:37:24
"Take my hand, friend."
03:37:35
...
the kitsune hesitates for a second, but gives in from seeing the warm smile and takes a step forward. moving his hand out to grab onto your own.
03:43:55
I gently moved my free hand to your forehead, placing a single finger up between your eyes.
03:44:32
Instantly, the world changed. I was still there in front of you, but it was impossibly dark. The only figures in the darkness were absurd and confusing. Sounds could be heard, like nothing you've experienced before. Some instilled an unnatural sense of fear, and others were strangely soothing. The figures often glanced at you, but never bothered to come forth.
03:46:01
Every sense polluted your head simultaneously, bogging you down mentally and not giving you much room to think.
03:46:36
This persisted for a few moments, before you snapped back to the initial scene. I had pulled my finger away from your head.
03:47:05
he watched as the seer placed a gentle finger onto his forehead, his breathing slowing before his eyes widening from the sudden darkness of the world. his ears would twitch around from listening into all the noise, his eyes darting from one figure to another. feeling as if his head was spinning while trying to make out what the senses and figures were before being brought back into reality. letting out a deep breath as he backs up a bit and looks around his surroundings, and then his hands. ...w-what.. what w-was that..?
04:01:12
"That was what lies beyond us."
04:02:34
I slowly raised a hand to cup your face, before pausing. "May I? I would like to lighten the burden it has left on you."
04:03:10
"Something to ease your mind."
04:04:48
his ears quickly jump up from you cupping his cheek, his attention moving back towards you with his widened eyes.
04:06:22
I still had the warm smile on my face. "I'll refrain, if you do not wish for me to quell the noise it left in your head."
04:07:48
the warm smile would calm him slightly, but his body would still quiver from what he had experienced. I-I.. w-would prefer.. s-somethin' to.. ease my mind..
04:11:05
"Worry not, friend." I slowly moved my free hand to the other side of your face, similarly cupping it. I gently leaned my forehead against yours, a warm and soothing sensation trickling into your mind. The noisy panic set in by what you had seen dulled, then faded away completely.
04:13:48
I remained there for a few moments, before gently pulling away and taking my hands from your face. The warmth of my magic continued to linger in your mind, providing a pleasant sensation that kept with you for a while.
04:14:54
...
his sporadic breathing would start to calm down as the magic flew through his mind. the soothing sensation slowly calming his panic as the noise in his mind faded away and the shaking stopped completely.
04:22:54
I waited patiently until he had recovered, still with the same old reassuring smile.
04:24:07
he'd let out a relieved sigh as his shaking body relaxed back to normal. his ears slightly drooped from relaxing and his look becoming a lot softer. ..m-much.. much.. better..
04:31:04
"I am pleased to hear it."
04:31:18
Yuna pecked me, before cooing into my ear.
04:31:47
"Ah, yes." I turned to face the kitsune. "Apologies, friend. I must take my leave."
04:32:07
"We have traveling to do. Mustn't stay here forever."
04:32:24
"May our paths cross again, friend."
04:32:42
I gave a small bow, before gracefully walking past you and out of the cabin.
04:33:00
(i think ill call it here
04:33:20

04:33:23
