he loves lili, he thinks. more than anything, he loves her. he's hated that something felt wrong, that he'd not been able to fix how he feels to get them back to normal, but he's never loved lili any less.
so he nods. ]
I know. The same goes for you.
[ she makes him happier than ookurikara had realized he could be, without the date swords or his favorite former masters. he hadn't realized that it was possible for him to be this comfortable with anyone else, not until it was taken away and he noticed the hole it left behind. ]
...You said you were hungry, right? Let's get something to eat.
[ . . . she was just saying it to try to move on the topic, but. she lets her tail swish behind her as she peers up at him, like she very obviously wants something specific. that isn't food.
. . . .
but she just hums.]
Okay. We can have dinner.
[as she continues to obviously wait and see what he does.]
[ he stares back at her, and after a bit - lets out a quiet, huffed laugh and leans down to catch her lips with his. even if he's still not... happy, really, he loves her, and he missed this, too, so he lingers there for a moment, before pulling away to tug her toward the kitchens. ]
[aaaaaAAAAAAAA she's happy. it's dumb how happy this makes her as her hand comes up to keep his face close for a moment as she leans into the kiss, and claims a brief second one after.
he tugs her to the kitchen and she's still faintly purring.]
no subject
she just turns completely red then as she falls silent.
and continues to quietly purr because she likes it when he's nice to her. she's so easy for kara specifically.]
no subject
after a long moment, he speaks softly. ]
...I like it when you're happy.
no subject
even if admittedly not exactly the attention she wants. she peers up at him when he speaks, even if her face is red.]
.... you know no one makes me - happy as much as you do, right?
[not as often, not in the same way - she loves kara so intensely it's so hard to compare.]
no subject
so he nods. ]

What did you want to eat?
no subject

Seafood!
[THE NYA TENDENCIES MAKE IT WORSE]
no subject
I was thinking udon... we can put some shrimp and fish in it, if you want.
no subject
[warm food with fish and shrimp.... her bf paying attention to her again.... her wants are so simple, and she's so pleased]
Let's make enough for Tsurumaru and Zenitsu and Dimitri.
no subject
[ dragon cabin is occupied again! it's great! ]
no subject
[she nods in agreement and seems pleased about it]
Ah, it's not bad to have it so lively again...
no subject
...Even if we aren't sure how it'll end.
no subject
We're all rejuvenated and if it comes to a fight tomorrow, I think we can win.
So... I'll proceed as though everything is in our favor.
no subject
[ HE'S
A LITTLE TERRIFIED OF IT NOW ]
...I still wish we had more time, though. Just us.
no subject
[SHE'S SO CERTAIN, FOR SOME REASON. but she'll let her head rest on his shoulder even as they walk.]
... I wish we did too - but you have to finish your mission finally.
no subject
[ he hates the magic here!!
...but yeah. she's right, and kara sighs. ]
I know. It's not like I want to avoid that, I just...
[ wanted more time with the one he loves before having to leave her for who knows how long. he shrugs. ]
no subject
... want both, right? I want to travel and I'm excited to learn new technologies for my lands -
But I wish I could bring you with me, too.
[i guess
asch would also just be there]
no subject
I just don't know how long that will take.
no subject
.... it's alright.
However long that is - I'll wait through it.
no subject
no subject
[she'll admit to that much]
But it's alright - whatever happens.
no subject
I still have the necklace, too. [ from the break-in. ] It's only fifteen minutes, but if we can both use it...
[ he'll take any extra time he can, no matter how short. ]
no subject
If that's possible - alright. Or if you want to use it and want to rewind a little bit of time...
I'd understand that too.
no subject
no subject
[and she'll let her tail flick a little curiously at that]
Then might as well.
