I woke up much easier than the previous morning, slowly drifting back into consciousness with the peaceful sounds of the wildlife out and about.
10:30:08
Ezume would be snoring slightly ontop of the tree branch, having forgot to move into the tent before losing conciousness.
10:33:08
I took a moment to let myself truly wake up, before sliding out of the bedroll and taking the rest of my clothes off rather than putting more on. I nudged Yuna awake, having her follow along to keep watch over the pool that the waterfall spills into as I prepared to bathe in it.
10:35:45
I peeked my head out of the tent, making sure nobody else was awake yet. Granted, I would have to bathe sometime, but it still was a bit embarassing to parade out in front of people with nothing on.
10:36:27
Seeing Ezume still asleep, and Kaio probably out scouting or something, I swiftly made my way to the pool of water and slowly submerged myself. The water was a bit chilly, but already getting warmer regardless of how early into the day it was.
10:37:16
I shivered a bit as my body grew used to the water, before idly swimming around in the pool for a moment.
10:37:44
Before I slipped my head under, I undid my blindfold and tossed it to Yuna.
10:38:25
Ezume would soon enough wake up while the seer had been preparing to go for a swim. giving a small yawn as he stretched and rubbed his eyes. mmh..
10:44:16
I waded my way over to the falling water, my view a bit distorted from my eyes being exposed to the world. Yuna helped as she could, which proved to be enough in the end. There was a raise in the bed of the pond, causing me to have to step up out of the water a bit to slip myself right under the falling water. Everything from my knees upwards was exposed in this spot, which I wasn't all too concerned about as I let the water run over my head and through my hair.
10:46:42
loud hasty rustling from a mile away, between the trees and shrub
10:51:35
I perked up, waving Yuna off to leave me for a moment and check out the noise.
10:52:08
I continued to wash myself under the water as she flew off, gazing through her eyes to keep and eye on what she could see.
10:52:40
as the kitsune slowly woke up and stretched out, he'd glance around the luscious greenery.. before a certain seer in the water would catch his eye. squinting his eyes to observe Eden washing up in the water.
10:54:23
has been running through the wilderness without clear direction with her bag
10:55:33
** Red Mystery Girl rolled 1d6: 3! **
10:55:35
I continued to run my hands over my body, scrubbing down every inch of myself as best as I could while I made sure Yuna hadn't seen anything in the trees.
10:55:50
(no idea what a 3/6 means
10:56:01
red-hooded, windbreaker runner with a bag over her back, sweat pants and sneaker could be visibly seen as she weave between trees
10:56:44
at this course, she would possibly reach the stream of water in 20 minute or so
10:57:20
I watched on through Yuna's eyes, following the girl through the trees before whistling aloud to bring her back nearby.
10:57:41
I finished up under the waterfall, before wading my way back over to the edge of the pool and climbing out. Yuna hopped along, not wanting to land on my bare shoulder and dig her claws into it.
10:58:29
I shook out my hair, before making my way back to the tent and grabbing a small towel from my satchel next to my pile of clothing.
10:59:15
I used the towel to dry what I could, before figuring it was good enough and packing the towel away. I began putting on my clothes again, completely bundling back up as I usually was.
11:00:06
Ezume would quickly dart his eyes away as he noticed Eden make his way back to the tent, not wanting the other to notice that he was watching by looking at the leaves of the tree instead.
11:02:32
After I had fully thrown my outfit back on, I secured my belt around my waist and my satchel over my shoulder before stepping back out of the tent and having Yuna turn to face Ezume.
11:03:39
"Oh good, you are awake."
11:03:53
"I would love to start with pleasantries, but I am afraid we have no time."
11:04:14
"There was a woman darting through the trees just a mile out from here. She was heading here, when I checked."
11:04:37
"Rest up if you need to still, but be on guard."
11:04:59
"I do not know how much I like unexpected visitors anymore."
11:05:14
mmh.. another?..
he'd sigh before carefully getting up and hopping off the tree. time to be on guard once again.. but we stick together.. I ain't letting you do anythin' that you don't wanna do again..
11:06:53
"Yes, It does appear that way."
11:10:36
I sighed, taking a seat on the ground and patiently watching over the tree line for our unexpected guest/
11:11:32
the rustling of broken twigs is much closer now, at first a deer darting past
11:11:48
behind the deer, a boar just barreling through--with a tiny rope and stick, seemed like it was caught in some kind of bunny trap
11:12:49
then all gone quiet, briefly
11:13:11
(argh shit, sorry for the abrupt end but im going to have to call it here
11:14:02
(i cant keep my eyes open
11:14:07
(ill leave the room up to continue for next time, but i just cant keep going
11:14:21
(( all good, get some rest! ))
11:14:28
(have a good night! silly, should've gone to bed)
11:14:29
(sorry about that guys, ill see you then
11:14:29
(you too you two :D
11:14:40
(a lot can happen that stalled 'me' from reaching the water at the second, so not a worry, easily inserted sometime later)
11:15:27
(alright, ive returned
22:00:27
(( time to continue? ))
22:18:49
(yea sorry, was finishing something up before i started off again
22:19:06
(( alright, lemme finish something real quick ))
22:21:24
(no worries, ill type something to get us started back up
22:21:36
I decided that waiting around for the lady was a waste of time for now, opting to forage through the forests for a bit of firewood and some stones.
22:23:21
After gathering a sufficient amount of both, I lugged it back to the little impromptu campsite and arranged it all into a makeshift firepit.
22:25:46
Ezume would stay on guard as Eden scouted the area, making sure nobody would come close to the seer while he was busy before noticing him get up to forage. the kitsune would decide to get another quick drink of the water before joining him at Eden's little firepit, snapping his finger to make a small flame at the tip and bringing it close to the firewood.
22:50:03
I let out a little giggle as Ezume lit the fire, Yuna watching him intently as he summoned a flame to his fingertip. "Are all kitsune able to do that?"
22:52:27
"And... can you show me more of it?"
22:55:09
Ezume would bring the finger to his lips before blowing the small flame out, turning his attention towards Eden with a small chuckle. mm.. I wouldn't think every kitsune would, but I bet there's a decent amount of 'em out there that could!
he'd tilt his head curiously. ..show you more? I could show you whatever ya' want! as long as it wont burn the forest down! shishi~
22:59:11
I shuffled over closer to Ezume, leaning in to watch his hand. "I do not mind what you do, specifically. I would just like to observe."
23:02:40
the kitsune would take a moment to think of what he could show the seer as the other shuffled closer. his ear perking up before he'd channel for some essence in his hand once again. the orange, fiery energy gathering around his palm before materializing into a small kunai. the essence carefully and precisely forming small patterns in the kunai before dropping in his hand. that's one thing I can do!.. it should be safe to touch if ya' wanna feel around, just careful with the sharp edges..
23:14:58
I gently laid one of my hands on Ezume's arm, moving my other up to his hand and wrapping my fingers around the kunai's handle. I was a bit awestruck, inspecting the kunai with great fascination. "I am not familiar with pyromancy. This is... amazing."
23:18:00
I set the kunai back down into his hand after a bit more observation. "You are a very interesting individual."
23:21:02
Ezume would freeze ever so slightly from feeling Eden lay a hand on his arm before watching him observe the kunai closely. s-shishi~.. can't say its just regular ol' pyromancy stuff, but.. thanks!.. that's a lot comin' from a seer who has an adorable owl and a buncha' mysterious magic! can't say I got anythin' more interestin' than what you might have..
he'd grab the kunai back before inspecting it himself, spinning it around a bit with his finger.
23:28:45
Bot/Deleted
(hey)
23:29:55
"Your control of flames is as interesting to me as my abilities are to you." I slipped my free hand into Ezume's palm, squeezing it a bit. "I realize now that I forgot to thank you."
23:30:46
"So thank you, Ezume. For helping me out like you have."
23:31:53
...
the kitsune would feel the warmth of the seers hand in his before feeling his own face start to get warm.. his other hand with the kunai completely stopping in its cycle while he took a second to regain his composure. I-I.. t-thank me?.. y-ya' don't have to.. I-I haven't done a lot, and I-I should've helped y-you with those two yesterday.. d-don't think I deserve it..
23:38:04
"You may not think you deserve it. But I do." I smiled up at Ezume, taking my hand from his arm and cupping the side of his face with it. "You seem a bit nervous."
23:40:43
Ezume would jump slightly as Eden gently cupped the side of his face. his pink only getting deeper as his ears slightly trembled from being so flustered. I-I... I-I'm o-okay!.. n-not nervous at all!..
23:47:43
"You seem flushed. And your ears.." I took my hand from Ezume's own, moving it to his ears and gently rubbing them. "They are shaking. Do you feel ill at all?"
23:49:40
Ezume's ears would start twitching around more as he felt Eden start rubbing at his ears, a small, flustered yip coming out of his mouth before he ever so slightly backed away a bit. I-It's nothin!.. j-just a-a bit of w-wind!..
23:53:26
I moved my hands back at the yip, afraid I had unintentionally hurt him. A concerned frown replaced my smile. "Oh dear, did I hurt you? You made a noise."
23:54:58
"I apologize, Ezume. I was merely concerned that you might be ill. Your face is a bit red, and your ears kept twitching."
23:55:42
Ezume would turn his gaze away from Eden in embarrassment. y-you d-didn't hurt me.. i-it was an accident!.. b-but I-I s-swear I-I'm all good.. n-not sick one bit!..
..god was he such a flustered mess..
00:03:03
I looked over Ezume for a moment, before finally coming to a realization. "Oh... I see."
00:03:54
I cupped Ezume's face with the both of my hands, turning him to face me again.
00:04:24
"I think I may understand, now."
00:04:43
I slowly leaned in, gently meeting my lips with his. I still smelled of honeysuckle from the waterfall, made ever more apparent from the close proximity. I held the kiss for a moment longer, caressing his cheek with my thumb before slowly pulling away and giving you another small smile.
00:06:33
"I should have known. I apologize for keeping you waiting so long, I had not realized up until now that you might have felt that way."
00:07:42
before Ezume had a chance to even react, he'd feel Eden cup his other cheek with the other hand to bring the kitsunes face back towards him. then the meeting of their lips would make his eyes widen and his cheeks blush even more strongly.. the kitsune was absolutely stunned from the kiss as he could barely stutter out a word. I-I-I...
00:19:20
(( also heading out to eat soon, so responses might be a bit slow >.> ))
00:20:43
I caressed his face, moving one hand up to rub his ears again. "You do not have to say anything if you cannot find the words." I gave another reassuring smile.
00:21:16
(if youd like, we can just pause it here and say we sat by the pool and just relaxed with eachother
00:22:03
(after the lil smoochy eden just gave you :3
00:22:19
(( so mean.. making Ezume such a mess.. e.e ))
00:25:20
(is this not what he wanted?~
00:26:09
Ezume would be much too flustered to say anything and he'd just tilt his head down and away to let Eden pet his ears. a completely embarrassed look on his face as he gave up on trying to hide it.
00:31:53
I took him into my arms, nuzzling up against him as we sat near the fire. "It is okay to feel the way you do. I will not judge you for it, Ezume."
00:33:36
"Thank you for being here with me."
00:34:23
We continued to sit by the fire with my arms around Ezume, comforting him long into the day.
00:42:21
(i think we'll call it here, ill reopen a room with eden later on
00:42:39
(thank you guys for stopping in :]
00:42:50
** Eden Woods left the game (definitively). **
