11th Inversion [Vine/Action]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[It's a bright, beautiful day in the Gardens. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, yet the Vine shows one very soaked Akiha Tohno. In fact, it seems to be raining on Akiha, plastering her white blouse to her torso (sadly she's flat as a board so it's not like it shows anything other than the lines of her camisole) and water drips off her hair. She's also, surprise, glaring at the mirror.]

If anyone needs me, I'll be out about the Gardens today and not at the mansion.


[For anyone looking for Akiha or just crossing paths with her, she's fairy easy to spot with the little black raincloud hanging over her everywhere she goes, constantly showering her with rain.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

I can let you go whenever I want.

[Not that she is right then.]

action

[ported]

We'll just have to see when 'whenever' is.

action

[ritsu_kouyou]

Misery does tend to love company.

[Akiha shifts herself so she's behind Kris. No longer strictly restraining her, the half-demon drapes her arms over Kris' shoulders, lightly holding onto her and looking over at the Garden.]

...Sion's gone.

Re: action

[ported]

Is that bad?

action

[ritsu_kouyou]

...I suppose not. It's better that she's not here, but she's my friend. You know I don't get along with a lot of people.

action

[ported]

...I'm sorry to hear that you lost a friend.

I guess I know how that feels in a way.

action

[ritsu_kouyou]

Hmm? How so?

action

[ported]

Just...when you were gone.

action

[ritsu_kouyou]

Oh.

[...]

That was... probably worse than this.

action

[ported]

Even if that's true, I still understand.

action

[ritsu_kouyou]

True...

[Akiha then shivers and lets go. Walking away from Kris, she seems to be looking for a spot with the most sun...]

I'm cold.

action

[ported]

I'm not but I could build a fire if you want.

action

[ritsu_kouyou]

You're never cold.

[Finding some rubble by the ruins in the sun, Akiha sits down and leans back to soak up the heat from the rocks.]

This is a miserable day.

action

[ported]

...are you sure you don't want a fire?

action

[ritsu_kouyou]

The rain will just put it out.

action

[ported]

It can be made big enough that you don't have to stand near it to stay warm.

action

[ritsu_kouyou]

...whereas that is a bit tempting, it doesn't change the fact that I'm cold because my clothes are wet.

action

[ported]

What if it burned away the rain cloud?

action

[ritsu_kouyou]

No.

action

[ported]

What's so wrong with that idea?

action

[ritsu_kouyou]

I'm worried you'll set my hair on fire.

action

[ported]

Is that even possible?

[Kris doesn't think so.]

action

[ritsu_kouyou]

Of course, it's possible! Why wouldn't it?

action

[ported]

It just doesn't seem like it would be, that's all.

action

[ritsu_kouyou]

Hair is flammable, you idiot!
