peace offering

Hanako · 08-07-2021, 01:29 PM

His silence spoke volumes. A tenseness settled in the line of Azure's shoulders and though Hanako could not see his face she knew he was glaring, his gaze overcast and stormy. She stepped forward a little, hoping to at least catch a glimpse of his lips pulled taut and brows furrowed, but he was quick to swipe at his face with a paw. As though to sweep it all away and replace it with a stern poker face. Though he was always handsome no matter what expression he wore, Hanako found that his passions were always so much more alluring. Even if it wasn't always good Azure always had something to give, things she could take and keep for herself. That and for all he'd put her through it only seemed fair that she play hard to get, to push his buttons and get some much-needed satisfaction.

But it seemed as though he already knew that and was able to follow her train of thought without even looking at her. Oops.

"It's a good thing you know better then." She said innocently and swayed a little on the spot as her tail wagged for a beat or two.

Hanako was honestly a little surprised Azure did not think ill of Mortis for reacting that way, but upon closer inspection she supposed it made sense. The Fatalis had spent his whole life competing against his brother, their personalities and views so starkly different that conflicts were bound to arise, and yet it seemed as though they could agree on this. That in overreacting Mortis had inadvertently acknowledged Azure's claim and backed off, taken the path of least resistance.

It was so...Mortis that the koi felt a little foolish for having not thought about this till now. Not that it made her feel any better about it all, Hanako was a woman scorned.

He stepped close then, shooing off Bean so he could drape himself over the junction of her neck. She felt the rumble of his words settle deep in her chest and though the words were obvious, perhaps even a little insulting, she found herself savouring his intent all the same. It was hard to cling onto the shreds of her frustration when he was so close like this, willing to take the lead and act as he ought to that night one year ago.

"I won't. If you'll kiss me instead." She pulled away, all smug and glib, her smile unapologetic. She had no intention of just handing it over, if this was what he wanted. Man had to work for her attention. And you know...playing hard to get was the least he deserved to put up with, all things considering.

"Doesn't really change anything though, I'm still mad at you." She announced, raising a paw to flick off the dirt caught beneath her claws.
