10th Inversion - Video/Action

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Forward-dated to after dark.]

--kidding? It's been a year and that woman--

[There's a seething hiss then, the Vine opening the mirror after the sun has set, and the profile of a familiar young woman with long dark hair can been seen in the shadows, the moonlight reflecting off of the white shift she's wearing.

Akiha tilts her head back, turning it up toward the sky, and closes her eyes. She counts to ten, calming her temper. Reaching up to tuck some hair behind her ear, a gold bangle on her wrist, she lets out a slow breath before looking around for her clothes. A cat skitters away as Akiha turns from the mirror muttering.]

Bring me back-- Don't even know if that idiot and brute are still here-- Ridiculous.

If the mansion isn't still here, I'm going to...

[Her voice trails off as she finds her clothes and walks out of view of the Vine, not even realizing it had been on. The Vine and Akiha still don't get along.]


[Eventually, Akiha finds the mansion, glad to see it's intact. She heads inside and immediately goes upstairs to her bedroom. Better catch her before the door is closed or she won't be seen until morning.]

[ooc: Akiha is back from her canon update.]

Comments

[ported]

[She'll check it out when she's done not being sad/happy over Akiha.]

I won't promise anything but I'll try.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I'll accept that.

[And she'll press a soft kiss to Kris' lips briefly before pulling back.]

Now, straighten the sheets and covers out so I can lay down.

[ported]

Okay!

[After that kiss, she hurriedly hops up with a sniff and starts to adjust the bed.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha will get out of the way, finally remembering to take the bangle off, before turning back to watch Kris.]

I was told you spent a lot of time looking for me.

[ported]

I might have.

[Working on the comforter now.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Fionna says you refused to believe I was gone.

[She walks back over and waits.]

[ported]

[Kris would prefer to be evasive around that statement. So instead, she just finishes up the bed and sits on the side of it.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha crawls into bed and beckons Kris to join her.]

She says it was sweet and that I'm lucky. I don't like agreeing with her, but I have to this time.

[ported]

You would do the same for me.

[She takes that invitation and crawls under the covers.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Except she wouldn't have been in denial.]

Mm. Come here. I haven't seen you in a long time.

[ported]

[She scoots on over to be right beside Akiha.]

It's been a really long time.

[A few days but...FOREVER]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[That would be an arm about Kris, pulling her close.]

How long was I gone? To me, it was a year...

[ported]

[This is good. Very warm.]

A whole week.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha closes her eyes and sighed.]

Okay... I missed this. Don't tell anyone I said that.

[ported]

[Just a small giggle.]

Everyone already knows.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[She cracks an eye open.]

Knows what?

[ported]

What do you think they know about? It's pretty obvious.

[It's Akiha's turn to get out of denial.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

If I knew, I wouldn't have asked.

[ported]

About me and you. Going from that, everything is pretty obvious.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Hmph. Only because you talk too much.

[ported]

I can't help myself when it's about you.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[An exasperated sigh.] Show a little restraint.

[ported]

Let's make a deal. I'll have more restraint if you have less.

[ritsu_kouyou]

...what do you mean by that?

[ported]

[She shifts a little.]

We can talk about it later.
