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.]

God forbid I ever do something that bad.

[ She reaches up to run fingers through her own hair. Most people don't usually get to see it plastered down instead of popping up of its own accord. ]

So what is it that upsets you the normal way?

[ritsu_kouyou]

Stupidity, bad manners, ignorance, laziness, ignoring me, not listening to me, having to repeat myself, cats, flirting with someone that's mine, harming something that's mine...

The normal things.

[grandtheftmecha]

[ Katina ticks off the first, second, third, fifth, sixth, and seventh on her fingers. ]

Well... well the whole entire list doesn't apply to me. I'm not a cat, for one thing.

[ritsu_kouyou]

It also applies to bringing cats around me, acting like a cat or treating me like one.

[grandtheftmecha]

No catnip, no waving string at you, no meowing and pawing at you.

Got it.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Exactly. Just because you're a dog doesn't make me a cat you chase.

[grandtheftmecha]

Woof!

[ Katina gives Akiha's neck a lick. ]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha wasn't expecting that. Therefore, Katina is privy to a semi-girlish squeal and her bringing her shoulder up to block any additional licks.]

[grandtheftmecha]

[ She chuckles as she pulls away, wrapping both arms around Akiha again. ]

What, you said I'm a dog.

[ritsu_kouyou]

That wasn't an invitation for you to lick me. I'm wet enough!

[grandtheftmecha]

So it shouldn't matter! It's barely any difference.

[ritsu_kouyou]

It's undignified!

[grandtheftmecha]

Oh look, I already upset you. Puttin' myself in the doghouse so easily...

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Got that collar on? Cause Akiha's grabbing for it.]

You have a talent for it.

[grandtheftmecha]

[ And the rain better not tarnish it. ]

Haha, yeah. Nothing new for me though, honestly.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha made it perfect. There will be no tarnishing! She does tug on it a little.]

You're a glutton for punishment.

[grandtheftmecha]

Got me pegged there... at least when it's coming from the right person.

[ Yeep. She can't really pull back too hard on it either. ]

[ritsu_kouyou]

And I'm the right person.

[Statement - not a question.]

[grandtheftmecha]

You should feel special. If, you know, you don't already.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Letting go of the collar, she'll turn a bit and play with some of Katina's hair.]

I don't feel special; I am special.

[She was also a monster, but she could be a special monster.]

[grandtheftmecha]

Very special.

[ That feels good, and she leans into it, doing the same to Akiha's hair. ]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Mm. How special is 'very special'?

[She runs her nails more fully through Katina's hair, working gently through the tangle they catch on.]

[grandtheftmecha]

Mm. Well, special enough to let you put a collar on me and pull on it when you want...

[ It's really something.

Akiha has a lot of tangles to get her fingers caught in, though not as many with Katina's hair pressed down. ]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[She smiles as she continues to work through the tangles.]

I like that answer.

[grandtheftmecha]

It's the honest truth.

[ Damn, she's practically nuzzling Akiha's hand by now. ]
