peace offering

*Hanako* · 08-07-2021, 04:47 PM

Hanako didn't even bother to spare a glance his way as Azure circled her; a dark shape in her periphery as she feigned disinterest. But try as she might, there was no denying the gravity of his presence, how tension lingered in the space between. Drawn out by each thudding step Azure took as he maintained his distance and drank in the sight of her from all angles. She liked the attention, a lot. Not as a slab of meat to be gawped at, but a prize that had to be earned, something she believed Azure was capable of if he kept putting in the work. It wasn't as if she was asking for much...not really.

He was quick to remind her of what she'd said, using her words as ammunition to prove his point and shift the scales in his favour. This wasn't so much of a tug of war, rather a pointed debate where they were ultimately making the same point but insistent on phrasing it a certain way. But he was right, it wasn't unbelievable at all and they both knew where Hanako's heart and interests laid. She was just being stubborn, pedantic and a bit of a tease. Caving now felt too close to giving in and Hanako really was a sore loser.

"Did I say that? Hmm, I don't remember. " She made an exaggerated show of tapping her chin with a paw, as though she'd even thought about it for longer than a second."And say, hypothetically of course, I deferred to your judgement, what would it be?"

Her ears perked a little as he drew even closer, his words pressing as she turned to face him to meet him in the middle. No more looking away, she'd face him head on and see what he made of it. With him this close if she turned to flee she knew he'd be hot on her heels, his breath close enough she felt the warmth of it against her face.

"Maybe." His solid questions were met with half-arsed, wishy-washy responses. A little poke and a prod here and there, followed by something a bit more substantial to keep him interested. "Perhaps you should try it out, refresh my memory." He smile was sweet, innocent, like butter wouldn't melt.
