make a house a home

Though Hanako hadn't yet worked up the nerve to seek comfort from the Fatalis, it seemed as though he was more than happy to provide. Without prompting, he placed a paw atop of hers, overshadowing it easily with his bearish mutation. Her brows show up in surprise and her cheeks flushed a little hot at his touch, but despite the vast difference in size she couldn't help but feel as though it was a heavy but comforting weight. Strong and imposing but in a safe sort of way, like he'd never even dream of using his strength against her. She stared down at their paws, his dark brown mixing with her fiery orange, and quickly decided she liked this and that if Azure wanted to do it again then he was more than welcome to.

Hanako had to agree with him on all fronts. She knew that Mortis meant well and that his softness was a strength and not a weakness, but in this case at least his caring nature had gotten the better of him. Now that she was thinking about it Hanako idly wondered if he would ever try to bring it up again or whether he'd seen the error of his ways. Selfishly she hoped he wouldn't, it had really killed the mood and the fact that Hanako couldn't just forget about it...Well, maybe his words had gotten to her more than she'd first anticipated. It was all very silly and over dramatic of course but what if- Hanako wiggled her toes in a playful jest.

"I thought so too. Means well but doesn't really understand." Not like she thought Azure did. "But he seems nice, maybe too nice to be king." She admitted thoughtfully and not at all intending it as an insult.
