peace offering

Hanako · 08-06-2021, 08:17 PM

Hanako knew what she was doing and felt a smug sense of satisfaction as Azure turned away with a grimace. Despite the dynamic of the situation, she liked that he got jealous over a fisher of all things, that he loved her enough that something as silly as this would get beneath his skin. If he wanted to kiss her again she would happily go along with it, after all it wasn't like she'd even protested the first time. But he was a gEntLemAN. Ugh, like this situation needed to be any more difficult to traverse.

She glanced over at the wide expanse of his shoulders as he remained standing with his back to her, suddenly quite interested in the sky above. He didn't seem very keen on the name but she'd figured as much, it was kind of the point really, and she found herself suppressing a smile as he rolled the world around on his tongue. Like it tasted nasty. There was a charm to his grump, especially when she knew he didn't really mean anything by it. Force of habit and the fact he had a reputation to maintain, all very important manly things.

She wasn't surprised to hear he intended to lurk around her den for the foreseeable future. It should have annoyed her since she still was very much sulky about it all, even if Bean had helped lighten the mood a little, but she found herself wondering what he made of his Father's decision. Was he happy to use it as an excuse to remain close? Before she could properly dwell on that he ventured on, bringing up his brother as an alternative overseer if she preferred.

Hanako did not and her twisted expression said as much, not that Azure could see from where he stood.

"No. I don't want Mortis. He-" She let out an ugh and her shoulders slumped so suddenly poor little Bean almost lost his balance. She paced forward a little, wondering why bad things always happened on beaches. "We don't talk any more. Haven't for ages. We had a falling out and he just...replaced me like I was nothing. Another koi too, Hikaru. I guess you haven't met him?

Being turned down was bad enough, but her mind tended to shove that aside in favour of narrowing in on how easily he'd forgotten her. Like she was nothing, not even worth a passing sniff.
